They work!

Concerns:

1. Theft.  Use a cable and a lock to keep theives away.
2. Filling it up.  Need to install 3 or 4 leg extentions so the bucket can be lowered to the ground and stand on the leg extentions.  This would keep the hopper free and clear of the ground.  It is very hard to fill by yourself.
3. Use a strong rope or cable.  My wire broke while filling it up.  It came crashing down, big time.  REPAIR of the hopper etc. is now required.  Perhaps a set of "leg extentions" would have prevented it from hitting directly on the hopper.
4. Drill an additional hole above the standard bucket handle.  Thread an additional cable or wire through it to "reinforce" the handle.
