I would go to academy and buy the Big A Feeder...constructed very well for 350 bucks. Replace the timer with something else, its a POS.

The Big A feeders are fine, but they need a few minor upgrades for me. I have 3 bought them all at the end of the season for just over 200.00. I can easily get 1350 lbs in them, But i weld up the 3 piece legs so they are a bit more stable. I then upgrade the spinner motor and plate to a 12 volt system and add a remmington timer.

You will also need a Good varmit cage because the Coons will climb right up the ladder and help themselves.
