However the feeder ports are greatly improved on the 300# for better flow especially with pellets than the older 275#. ![]() Gave me the impression it could blow off as the latches loosen over time so put some hooks on it so I could keep a strap over it as well. Would have gotten 5 stars from me but I liked the lid on the older 275# version than the new lid on the 300# as it was actually a flip up style lid with hinges and not a completely removable lid with pretty low grade latches. These feeders are very durable and functional. Yes it isn’t fun digging in posts to move the feeders around, but the little bit of sweat equity is totally worth what I save in feed waste by not having raccoons emptying out the thing. One center post or I guess for this convo “climbing” post to worry about rather than three. This is the main reason I am a fan of the Banks feeder. While I loved the ease of moving the other feeder, I could not keep raccoons off that thing. I have owned both Banks and Boss Buck feeders and just recently sold my other feeder and ordered a second Banks 300# feeder. ![]() The 30-gallon hopper will hold 200 pounds of corn per fill. I definitely recommend this feeder…if you don’t have a 3 pt post hole digger then it is just going take a little manual labor to dig a 3′ hole to set the 8′ pt post in. The Moultrie 30-gallon Gravity Tripod is ideal for feeding protein pellets or feed. I was a little concerned about the height of the feed tubes but trail cam pics show that even the smallest does have no trouble accessing the corn in this feeder.

Best Budget Deer Feeder: Wildgame Innovations Quick Set 50. All in all it is an easy installation and so far it is working just as intended. Best Overall Deer Feeder: Moultrie Pro Hunter II Feeder Kit. Just a tip, cut a piece of 6″ PVC pipe to fit over the post before you install the feeder…cut it just a few inches lower than the bottom of the feeder…this will help keep the coons and squirrels at bay…and so far it works. I adjusted it the way I wanted and had my wife help me lift it on to the post. The Feed Bank feeder was very easy to assemble…my only complaint is that it is a little difficult to fit my arm and hand into the feed tubes to install the two wing screws…no big deal though. I have a tractor with a 3 pt post hole digger which I used to set the 8′ 4×4 post three feet into the ground a day or two before the feeder arrived. It arrived in a few days after ordering and I set about immediately to install it. I found the #300 Feed Bank and it looked like just the ticket. ![]() I started researching gravity feeders but didn’t want to pay more than $300 and didn’t want it to have legs like the other one that was destroyed. Finally one day this winter he apparently got his antlers locked up in the feed tubes and he completely destroyed it trying to thrash it off…hence the reason I needed a new feeder. I have a 6 pt bull elk that hangs out on my property in NE Kansas…and he kept knocking over my Boss Buck feeder every time it was empty.
