I would get one that is on a pully with a hand crank. Trust me, it makes life much easier filling them up when you can lower them to the ground. The feeders are not that hard to make. Just need the pipes and a 55 gallon barrel. You can find the funnels that fit inside the barrels at most feed stores. Spend a little more money on the timer. A good timer is a must. Nothing more disappointing than pulling up to the feeder only to find out that it hasn't thrown corn since the last time you were out there.
