Looking to purchase a gravity fed feeder if anyone knows where one is please let me know would like to pick up a freyes trophy feeder or something similar
 
About a year ago I needed to quickly pickup 4 gravity feeders for my place. I don't know who they are made by and I am sorry I don't even have the name or place I got them from. But I have to say I really like them a lot! The only possible gripe is we had one buck who was really pushy on everything and he managed to pop off a bolt and feed poured out underneath the feeder. I know how this can be fixed from happening again but time has not allowed getting it done yet. I think they are one of the best priced and easy to use feeders I have seen. If I recall I paid only $200 each for them and they hold about 7 to 8 five gallon pails of pellet each. The feed stays clean and dry inside. No sunlight issues. Just a very quality feeder for the money.


Maybe my friends who care for my herd back there in WI will see this and can post who sells them for me as I am out of the U.S. working and don't have the info.

I have the Banks Feeders shown above in every pen on my farm.  I really like them.  They generally hold 8 to 9 buckets of my feed and I have had very few problems with them.


I got them from Nate Hippen in Iowa.
 
BMayes, Do you ever have a moisture problem in the feed when it enters the feed port from the feeder? I use these feeders with a textured feed and after a rain I have to dig out the moist feed so it will flow
 
I used silicone caulking to help seal up where the feed tube bolts on to the feed tank.  I bought my feeders at two different times.  On the first ones the holes where the bolts go that hold the feed tubes on the tank were drilled all the way through the plate where they are mounted.  The bolts go all the way through and you can tighten them really tight.  The newer ones have a screw with a wing that hold the tube on.  They don't stay tight for me.  If you get the Banks Feeder I would drill that out when you first put them together and use regular bolts to put the tubes on the tank. 


Caulk them good and use bolts with locks nuts to put the tubes on and you should be good to go.
 
I have several available.... Very similar to the old Frey Feeder... I'll make a good deal 717-327-9664

Dave Askelson from Medford, MN sells gravity feeders too.  Anywhere from $95 on up.  He's on here and could tell you more.  He also has a website.  Vikingwhitetails.com.

I can't get anybody to answer the phone at the number published there. I need to order 6 feeders. Anybody know these guys?
 
I have several banks feeders.  We use pellets.  I do have some issues with moisture, or driving rains.  I bought that new canned spray sealer to seal splices, that seems to help.  I also had to put some feed pans under each port.  They seem to waste feed if you don't.  You still have to check each port after a rain though.  I also carry a long poker rod to keep the holes open.
