I have caulked the sides and sight windows on my Texas Hunter feeder. The damn things leak.
The feed clumped up, got down to the spin feeder, and jammed the spinner plate. That caused the motor to burn up. No warranty on “my negligence”. Not real impressed with them.
I've had the same experience several times. Even caulking doesn't completely solve the problem, and if feed clumps up there goes the motor.
If I lived on site this wouldn't have been such an issue, but I didn't. On average, to keep four feeders working I had to buy a new feeder annually.
