NEW at Area 419 – a billet adjustable base for the popular Auto Trickler powder trickler. This item replaces the 3D printed base that comes with the Auto Trickler unit.
We have recently updated this item to add a thumb-wheel for pitch adjustment and have redesigned it to add about 14% more weight for added stability.
This base is precision CNC machined in house from a solid bar of 6061 aluminum providing extra weight (1.4 lb) to hold the Auto Trickler in use. It also comes with an externally adjustable leg to give you control over height and tilt of the unit.
Auto Trickler unit NOT INCLUDED, replacement base only. THIS ITEM WILL WORK ON THE V2 AND V3 MODELS.

Great Upgrade for the Auto Trickler V2. Being able to level the trickler with the adjustable feet helps increase the precision. Also runs noticeably quieter in the heavy base.

This is awesome!
Some instructions would be nice
Jon (store manager) –
Sorry about that! I’ve been meaning to do a video and just haven’t had the time yet. Did you get it figured out?

Well made product that really makes a difference, particularly the adjustable feet.

What an upgrade! Noticeably quieter and much more stable than the factory base

Excellent base for the ATV2. Quiet, firm and easy to setup.. Be aware of the back height screw and clearance under the flywheel…
Jon (store manager) –
Dennis, thanks for the review! It was actually designed so that the pulley would be close enough to the base that the rear screw can pass right by it. You only need a few thousandths clearance for the pulley.

Just received base, it is very solid and love the weight. Instructions would be nice, it’s not rocket science but took a minute to look at disassembly of unit. The screws from the auto trickler that holds on the cup of where the powder is stored were too short to fit in this base. I have to now go to a store and buy larger screws. I am not sure if they changed to smaller screws or this base was not drilled deep enough. If didn’t have to go get screws would definitely rate this 5 stars
Craig Arnzen (store manager) –
Sorry about that Chad, a small change to the machining code left us just on the wrong side of screw length. It’s no excuse, just reality. I hope you got it all up and running, and the product works well for you for a very long time!

Overall great piece of equipment. I’m wondering there’s some obvious machining scratches that kind of detract from other areas of the base that’re perfectly shiny. Would aluminum polish help remove those? I know that’s probably picky…
Craig Arnzen (store manager) –
Marc, sorry to hear that the product wasn’t perfect – we want them all to be. A little polish would probably clean that up, or you could shoot us an email and we will swap it out. We want 100% satisfaction!

Better then I ever imagined. Looked at this for a year, couldn’t bring myself to spend the money. My birthday came around and I was getting bugged for present idea’s and I asked for this base. So happy I did, way better then I imagined, drops more consistently, doesn’t vibrate around the table, and made it quiet! Wish I bought it a year ago.

Way better than original

Great workmanship
Peter (verified owner) –
This is huge. a must for the trickler
RYAN MEYERHOFER (verified owner) –
Machine quality is outstanding
Jim Laverty (verified owner) –
Top screws we very difficult to remove. You should have supplied a long Alan wrench that would have been able to reach though the othere side like the screwdriver shown in you video on the previous upgrade.
Barry (verified owner) –
Excellent product, great service and superfast delivery
Wayne M. (verified owner) –
The fit and finish were outstanding.
Robert G. (verified owner) –
Nice heavy a bit tricky to get the screws in wrench supplied did not fit screws from Auto Trickler.
Brian Smith (verified owner) –
Better by far than plastic
Dennis R. (verified owner) –
Easy to adjust and made right!
Robert Navratil (verified owner) –
Well made nice upgrade
Glenn E. (verified owner) –
I like it so far but still waiting for my autotrickler to show up so I can assemble it.

The billet adjustable base is just the part I needed for my AutoTrickler v3. It solved a noise problem that was driving me mad.
