We own 1000+ acres in West Texas. I bought 25 of these feeders three years ago and eveyone of them are still in great shape. I went to the Ft Worth, TX store a few weeks ago and bought 10 more. American Hunter makes quality feeders at a great price. If you do ever have a problem with them, their customer service people are the best in the business.
This feeder is one of the best on the market for the price I would say. My familty owns a 200 acre farm with feeders and cameras set up in various places. I have had this product ot in the field for about 2 months and liked the way it has performed. The battery life on this feeder is tremendous I have yet to change the battery since. I have gotten many pictures of does&fawns and several pictures of nice bucks feeding on my feeder. One other of the nice features of this feeder is the varmint buster, i have had several friends whos feeder have gotten ruined because A coon or squirell has gotten into the feeder and busted up the gears. The only reason i have given this product 4 stars is because It is harder than it should be to set up specificlly the mounting bracket that is made to hold the legs and because I have yet to use it through winter and see how durable and how good the battery life of it is then. Over all I think this is one of the best feeders on the market for the price.
For all the options, this is a great feeder. It came with solar kit, varmint guard, variable feeder schedule and rechargeable battery. I have had no problems with the feeder at all - it was more difficult than it needed to be to put together - especially the band support that encircles the feeder and attaches to the leg supports - wingnuts might be better option than the 1/2" bolts that come with the kit - otherwise a great product. Worked perfectly from initial setup - I have 2 that are within hearing distance of each other and they have kept perfect time with each other. I really like the ability to have feeds set for every day vs variable feeds - I set them to feed just before light during the week and right after dawn on the weekends when I go hunting - gets the deer to the feeder right on time. I also like the ability of the feeder to sling corn as easily as deer feed pellets. I would definitely recommend - make sure the solar panel faces the predominant sunny side of feeder and it keeps the battery well charged.
