Questions & Answers

Is there a good controller that you can recommend?

I believe you're referring to a feeder timer kit. If that's the case, All Seasons is the best; I've been using them for the past 12 years with no problems. A 12 volt system will work best; it'll set you back a little more than $150, but it'll be well worth it. With solar chargers on each feeder, I use them all year. It's very simple to set up, and you can have up to seven different settings per day. It's completely digital, and it even tells you how much battery life you've got left.

Why would someone opt for a round rather than a square? a plate that is rectangular? Is there a difference apart from the obvious shape?

HB feeders will not accept the rectangular plates. The spinner plate will not drop down and start spinning on an HB because the funnel is square. It gets stuck on the plate and won't move.

Is it possible to get this for a 1/8-inch motor shaft?

The- Only 1/4" Eliminator spinner plates are available.

Is the rectangle plate a certain size? What do you get when you multiply the length by the width?

Plates are the same dimensions as the others. I have 4. Raccoons are deterred by this product.

Selected User Reviews For The Eliminator Varmint Proof Scatter Plate for Deer and Game Feeders

This appears to be attractive, but it will not fit in your feeder

3/5

I have a variety of feeders from places like Bass Pro, Academy, WalMart, and others, and this one appears to work but cannot be installed. br>The plate measures approximately 6" in diameter from corner to corner. That size plate is too large for some feeders. I can see how they couldn't get around that in order to make the mechanism work, so I can't blame the designer. br>However, the hole in any feeder for mounting the plate is either too big or too small. br>The motor on all of my feeders has a narrow pin coming out of it. The screw on the side that is supposed to secure this plate to that pin is too short and won't even come close to doing so. Even if it were longer, the hole in this plate is quite large, so I doubt it would be able to secure a good lock. br>However, while the hole is large, it is insufficient. A two-part plate is already present on some of my feeders. The existing spin plate screws down onto a shaft that goes over the small pin that comes out of the motor. This plate's hole isn't big enough to fit over that shaft. This would work if the hole was slightly larger to allow it to slide down over the shaft. To make this work, it appears that you'll need a motor, or at the very least a special shaft. This item will be returned to me.

Reduces the amount of corn that is lost

4/5

Varmints aren't a problem for me because I have cages over my timers, but these would be useful if they were. I do, however, have Aoudad and whitetail bucks who have discovered that if they strike the feeder, corn will fall. It causes two problems: first, it causes my corn to run out faster, and second, it damages the feeders. These Eliminator Plates were added to the timers, and they now only drop corn when they're supposed to. br>I docked a star because of the design on the center post; over time, the white teflon piece wears away, and corn fills the spring, preventing the plate from falling down.

This thing is better than a pocket on a shirt, and I've had it on for over a week now, going off three times a day, and it's worked great

5/5

I no longer have photos of crows, squirrels, or raccoons perched on top of my feeder motor after only a few weeks. I'm very pleased with this product; if I run into any issues in the future, I'll update my review, but for now, I'm very pleased.

For the road feeder, this is a must-have! For the past two years, I've had one on a road feeder, and it's worked flawlessly

5/5

The corn doesn't bounce back and forms a tight seal. I have one to put on my feeder, but I have a good raccoon-proof cage made from welded cattle panels, and we don't have squirrels in my area in West Texas, so I just haven't had the time to empty the feeder and do it.

Any other feed spinner broadcaster would be a waste of time for me

5/5

I've used them before on other feeders and they're great. A varmint cage on your feeder is unnecessary because it retracts back into the feeder body funnel, preventing varmints from accessing the feed. Varmints will not steal your feed or cause damage to your feeder if you use this product.

Good buy! Three of these are in my possession

5/5

The eldest child is most likely four years old. They quickly pay for themselves and are very effective. They do require lubrication twice a year in order to function properly.
