I've all my birds fed on a quad and solway trail spinner its down to how much you put down with it that determins how your birds react.If you feed heavy with it,Its the same as hopper feeding,feed light its just the same as hand feeding the birds will run to it if hungary enough.Some of my drives i whistle on the quad its all down to the nature of that drive and the timing when you want your birds there to be shot.One thing that is a bonus is mine fits under the trailer hatch so no bagging up wheat anymore so it's saving labour that way.
