Reading through the comments on this thread, its really interesting to hear that some people are still finding lifting the feeder a bit of a chore even with the gas strut assisted bracket. I just got one when i bought my new machine, and find it an absolute game changer! I had the regular tilt away bracket on my old machine with the F38 feeder, and that really was a chore to lift. Admittedly i have the Comatic DC40 on the new machine so a lighter unit for sure, & mounted on the tilt away bracket with the gas strut, but oh my what a difference! I can lift it up with one hand and very little effort at all. I always put the feeder into a certain position before tilting it away, so wonder if that has something to do with how easy it is?
