I am about to buy a Texas Hunter feeder and I can't decide what size to get. I want the one that holds 175 pounds of food because it will let me go longer without having to drive up to my place to fill the feeder.

My local pond management company told me to stick with the smaller unit that only holds 70 pounds. He told me the larger feeders have issues with moisture getting inside and the food will harden and clog up the feeder.

Can anybody give me some advice that actually has the larger feeders? My friend has 5 of the biggest ones on his lake and he does not have any moisture problems.

The feeder will be screwed to my dock and will be directly exposed to all the elements with no tree cover.

Thanks
