you want to be able to move it (tripod) or something you can concrete into the ground?

Make your own but your cable will will rub your tree and could damage it. If you don't care about the tree then use a come along, barrell, and a timer. Should cost you $150 or less.

I am willing to give you some pointers if you are going to do it yourself. I use 1/4"x 10" plate on top and all the tubing is 14ga, And the angle of the legs is 22.5 degrees. I am all for trying to save money but use a brake winch and do it right, it should last for many years. If you have any questions Squid I will be happy to answer them.

Buy one of those 5 gallon bucket feeders at Cabelas or Walmart for around $50. Then buy a pulley and a good strong rope. Hang the pulley on a good limb, run the rope thru, and tie it to the feeder. Simple and effective.

I was thinking that i would purchase the moultrie pro magnum hunter 30 gallon hanging feeder. and I think iam either going to buy a come along or brake winch and hang it from a tree. What do you guys think.

You are not going to like operating a comalong for that application.Given the two options I choose the brake winch. Wrap a chain or wire rope around a limb and get a 3/16 swivel hook pulley, 25' 3/16 wire rope from academy. That way if you decide to upgrade in the future you have some of the components.
