Looking to put up 3 hog feeders in the Texas panhandle. Need to be sturdy but since having to buy 3 they dont need to cost an arm and a leg. Any ideas on where to get them. Would like for them to be by crank so i dont need a ladder to fill them up.

Make your own.
Not hard to build and 3 home made ones will cost about the same as 1 brought one.
I built mine out of a 55 gallon drum a boat winch 3 12' round gal corner posts, made a base plate for the legs that the winch cable goes through and 3 6' t posts to secure the legs to the groung.
This pic was taken before I put the boat winch onand secured it with t posts.

We build all ours, some with a winch some without.
Like Aussie said, make sure the legs are secure to the ground somehow. Nothing worse than going up to your feeder opening morning and a hog has turned it over
