Went around to fill my feeders yesterday. The three Cabela's made in China digital feeders had all crapped out and cannot be re-programmed. These things are all less than two months old: They will be going back today. Only feeder working was an old made in the USA Cabela's one.

Who makes a real made in the USA feeder?

I'VE USED SEVERAL BRANDS OF FEEDERS OVER THE YEARS. NOT SURE OF WHERE THEY ARE MADE .BUT I KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR ME. 1. I'LL NEVER OWN ANOTHER AMERICAN HUNTER PRODUCT AS LONG AS I LIVE. THEY JAM ALL THE TIME, WEAK BATTERY LIFE 3-4 WEEKS MAX. 2. MOULTRIE MAKES DECENT FEEDERS, BUT BUY THE ALL METAL PRO MAGNUM VERSIONS. ANIMALS WILL EAT THE PLASTIC VERSIONS OVER TIME. PLUS THE PRO MAG MODEL HOLDS TWO BATTERIES. 3. THE BEST FEEDER I'VE EVER USED IS KENCO. I GET UP TO 6 MONTHS ON A SINGLE BATTERY. BUT IT ISN'T DIGITAL, IT'S LIGHT SENSITIVE MODEL AND IT'S CRUSH PROOF. I BEEN USING THE SAME FEEDER BOX FROM KENCO FOR OVER 6 YEARS NOW. JUST ALITTLE OIL HERE AND THERE. 4. REMINGTON BRAND FEEDERS ARE JUNK. 2-3 WEEK BATTERY LIFE AND MOST HAVE WIRING ISSUES. THE WIRES TEND TO COME LOOSE FROM THE MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION OF THE FEED SLINGING.PS I THINK MOULTRIE PRO MAGS HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRENTY

Thanks very muchfor the information.

A Sweeney feeder is suppose to be the Cadillac of feeders. Use a small solar panel for electricity.
