Well there is multiple things you could do. you could get a piece of flashing and put it halfway around the thrower to direct 100% into the direction you want the feed to go. Or you could get some long poles and extend the legs and set it in the water where its shallow. Or you could make a bigger dock so its more stable and wont flip over but I think you said that when you thought of the 3 barrels lol I would do like 6 but that's me HAHA Good luck and can't wait to see what you come up with

You either need to A. Fill the drums with water to counter the heavy feeder barrel or B find some flatter water containers like RV septic tanks, if you could find new rv septic tanks or water tanks they are flat but also hold a lot of fluid so theyd have a lot of surface area for buoyancy. Plus you basically always want you width and length to be more than the height, makes it way more solid of a foundation and way less susceptible to wanting to tip.

You should use a piece of pvc to keep it from throwing feed all over the ground. Get some with an inner diameter that is slightly bigger than the spreader piece on the feeder, cut out part of the side to create an opening where the feed can be thrown out of, and then point the opening to where you want it to be spread. A larger opening means you'll spread it in a wider angle and vice versa.

Maybe make an angled shield to keep the feed from going on land? Like a v-shape shield angled towards the water. You could use sheet metal, or plexiglass, and attach it to the bottom of the feeder with sheet metal screws. Cheap easy fix. That way the feeder is still on land, much easier to fill, and much less work. And it could be moved around the Brute Bakery periodically.

Hey buddy move the barrels to the ends of the pallet were the forks get inserted. That way u can still do ur way of things. And u should be able to run the straps through the pallet to hold them still. U had the right idea but u need a wide stance with the barrels like a pontoon set up. ?#&+ feed the fish and a floating platform to hall around one of the guys with lol

Maybe this is to obvious but just ride to the middle of the pond and dump the bag. Lol would have saved you the trial and error portion. But love the videos. I would suggest the idea of extending the legs on feeder using pvc or metal pipe. Pvc should work. If you want to use the platform just add some water to the barrels and anchor in the center.

I would say you are on the right track. but you need to spread out the floating part of the raft. 4 barrels, 1 on each side of the dock. the way you had it with the barrels touching way close together makes it top heavy and unstable. if you can put the dock in the center so it spaces the 4 barrels apart it will be much much more stable.

Yo put a wood pallet in the water then a center block on each corner of the pallet, to keep the wood sunk then stack another wood pallet on the center block. Then put 4 more center blocks on each corner till the pallets are above the water and put the feeder on that This will also give the fish structure they can make a habitat around.

What about just making the legs of the feeder longer so u dont even need to build anything just extend the legs and then u can just put it as deep and anywhere u want it or just double ur first idea 4 barrels two pallets or no pallet and use plywood or something like it luv all ur videos keep em coming
