I have a very old A-6-3 (DY) tube feeder and want to add a seed catcher to it. Would this work?

Our feeder was very old and this tray has worked fine so far. It will, however, depend on fitting to your feeder.

I have an old A-6-3 Droll Tube Feeder as well. Did you purchase the Omni Seed Tray? Did it work on the feeder? Would like to purchase the seed tray if so!

It will work if it has the threaded hole at the bottom of it,. Mine has a black plastic nut that screws into the feeder base that holds the seed catcher on it.

I believe the seed catchers will work with all of the Droll Yankee tubes, even the old ones, but suggest that you give them a phone call. They have a toll free number and will be glad to help you. Mine is attached to a old tube, and works just fine, but I am not sure of the model number. Love those Droll Yankee feeders, they last forever and the seed catchers help keep my deck clean. Alma

I'm not sure of the exact diameter, but I doubt it's larger than 3/4" because it attaches to the bottom of the rod that runs thru the center of the feeder. I bought it as a seed catcher, but lost the wingnut the first time I tried to clean it. So, the mourning doves (the only birds who ate from it) are now back on the ground eating the thistle that falls from the feeder. If you're thinking of it as a squirrel baffle, metal ones would be more efficient since they don't collect the seed. Good luck.

It's an awkward shape to fit into an elevated feeder. We have an elevated feeder and it has space for two metal bowls and our skid stop slow feed bowl won't fit in it.

Yes, I added one to mine just a couple of months ago. I works great but it does give the squirrels something to sit on and get into the feeder. I believe I purchased the Droll Yankees Omni Seed Tray, Clear.

As you can see in the graphic, the feeder is suspended under the dome. I would think a 4 sided feeder would work fine unless it is unusually large. I first purchased the small dome, but then purchased the large dome, and it is much more satisfactory for my needs. I hope this helps. Blessings. navydoc

It's about 9" inside diameter at the base (the rim slants inward toward the base). So you wouldn't have much tray area. Don't forget that your feeder has to be threaded to fit the nylon hex bolt that's provided. Larry

I used it to spread some fine native seed that was maybe .030" diameter by about 3/16" long. You just have to adjust the feed slot down and spin faster and walk faster.

Only if it has a place to hang. What makes it work is if the cage has squirrel weight on it making it drop down to cover seed ports. I have the large feeder with the cardinal ring and this one. This one the flickers, creepers and blue jays particularly enjoy because they can hang on the cage in any position. Brome, to me, is the best feeders on the market! We live in a rural forested area and its not unusual to have up to 30 - 40 squirrels trying to do anything and everything to get in the feeders. They even wrap theirselves around the cardinal ring and nap. Their only success is to do a flying assault to knock seed out on the ground.

yes it will fit. i used my existing pole from my old bird feeder. i purchased this exact one. the pole goes part of the way up then stops

In principle, yes. My only concern would be how much weight the ant trap can withstand. I'm using it for a very light plastic hummingbird feeder.You may have to consult the manufacturer. I just found their website online -- link below. (Seems they also make a green ant moat, which I think would look nicer than the red one in my garden. Good to know.)http://www.wildlifeaccessories.com/trapit.html

If it could be hung above the feeder on the same wire it might work. You would have to make a new hanging bracket for the tube,

I'm not sure about that. It turned out to be too large and heavy (when filled) to go on the hook on my fence. I wanted to put a net underneath it to catch the debris, but couldn't find a hook long enough to allow the feeder and net to hang out from the fence, so I ended up giving it away. I would only recommend it for haning from a tree branch or something. It's very heavy.

Go to www.woodlink.com click on contact us and send them an email telling them your problem along with model number if you have it and name of the brand of your feeder, which is Varicraft. Maybe they can help, they help me with a part I needed.

Yes. The bottom of the feeder has a threaded indentation where a pole could be screwed on.

Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so. I would assume that is exactly what it is made to do. I do not think bracket mounting would be a great idea, but might work if doesn't bend the metal base which screws onto the clear plastic. I just tried a metal rod for size while the feeder was totally full and there were no problems or damage. Keep in mind that the top must come off to add the seed, and after a few birds the feeder will be bottom heavy anyway(that's good for pole mounting). I hope this helps. later Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so.

Maybe you need to design an elevated system that would contain the Northmate Feeder. Perhaps you could place the Feeder on top of a storage box that has a lid with a raised edge.
