Does anyone have one of these or heard of them?
Just trying to get some idea on if I should consider it or not for my ponds.
Thanks

Here is a little more info on them:
This Spinpro Dusk/Dawn DIRECTIONAL Feeder automatically casts out feed at Sunrise and Sunset by using a light sensor (photocell) to determine when this unit will activate. Great for "lane" feeding or for fish ponds.
Simply mount this feeder to ANY size bucket, barrel, or drum. A template, instructions, and mounting hardware are included. No tools are required to access the feed controls.
Two independent feed-control dials allow you to adjust how much feed the paddles will "sweep" out of the feed chute at Sunrise and Sunset. This dial can be adjusted to operate the spinner plate from zero to approximately 25 seconds.
The durrable, high tensil strength paddles sweep out feed 20 to 50 feet in a single direction. About 2 pound of feed are swept out of the feed chute every 5 seconds depending on the feed type. Almost any type of feed or grain 1/4" or smaller can be used.
This Heavy Duty, Welded Aluminum enclosure will not rust. The motor and electronics are "polarity protected" so you will not destroy the feeder if you accidentally connect it to your 6-volt battery backwards.
The circuit board electronics are humidity and corrosion protected with a coating called Humiseal. A good 6-volt lantern battery (not included) will power this feeder for up the 3 months.
Spinpro alos sells rechargeable batteries, battery chargers, and solar chargers. In addition to a 1-Year Warranty, Spinpro also sells replacement parts and provides and economical service department.

I don't know anything about Spinpro, but have tried several of the "popularly priced" feeders. They have all been over priced.

I am just trying to find one to try out for now and make sure it does not get stolen.
Plus I will have to hang it form a tree so the cows do not push it in the water.
Thanks
