It’s a shame I cannot thumb up this video more than once.

Such a great and neat video.

Thanks a lot !.

I’d love to see a video of how you set your charger up in your grounds. Your experiences with shorts etc. thank you so much you are helping us out light years. 💡
Happy trails

We use the Cyclops chargers. Fuller fence supply in Dothan will repair them if necessary. Great company and great equipment.

Good informative video. My pastures are in trouble, your videos are very helpful.

A good direct to the point video . An animal out on the road, is a scary thought !

Heads up for anyone watching now, Stafix turned into Speedrite. Same product different color and name.

You can go to the town dump area yard refuse and look for Pineneedles sometimes you can find whole truckloads of (Pine-needles) and put them underneath your (electric fence) if you can’t find them that way put a ad in craigslist.

I have to use steel/rebar posts. Rocks. Without hammering, there are many places we cant get a post in the ground.

Greg i love your videos. Do you not put links in your videos for any particular reason?

Can you have too strong of a fencer?
I currently only have about 20 acres under management and in addition to cattle I like to have goats, chicken and pigs behind (different) nettings. I find netting especially when pig root up onto it shorts out my 4 joule fencer.


Im definately upgrading my fencer. I think an 18 joule fencer ought to do for now but I dont mind spending more now for something I wont outgrow. Something like Galagher's M10, 000i fencer which has 100 stored joules! I am worried that on a small fence it will be too powerfull and kill stock. Is that a valid concern? If fence is too strong do you have trouble moving animals past where fence was?

Does that charger display the kv it’s putting out?

[amazingrazin]

Mine tests at 16k volts. It kinda hurts, haha. I got too much on my little 10 acre pasture. I think it's 8 joules output.

Greg, I have some fields that don’t have access to electricity. What are your thought on solar units and suggestions on which ones might be best? Solar units would need to service fields up to 20 acres.

Kencove now makes remote controlled energizers. For way less $ than stafix.

[MrSmith-qunx]

I wash in 4 10 foot copper pipes and salt them in for maximum ground. They're spaced 10 feet apart. I build my own charger and they are rated in thousands of jouls of power. Nothing touches but once. I've had the system cut off 4 inch round limbs that have laid on the wire. It will knock a bull out on the far side of the 700 thousand acre ranch. I also have lighting jumping apreatuses every 2000 feet. You also can hear the fencer hit the line every time it fires. Don't use it with children or small animals close to it.

Hi Greg I tried to find this charger online
I think it’s out of production if you know someone who who sells this one or better or similar type please let me know
Thanks

I have one of the Stafix 18000i 18 Joule chargers that I bought from Timeless Fence about a year ago. This thing has been nothing but trouble and a waste of $1200 - it is barely enough to handle several hundred yards of 12.5 gauge metal wire let alone my entire 46 acres. Ground is good. No shorts. Massive drop in voltage every several hundred feet. Cattle don't respect it making it useless but I cannot blame them as I cannot even feel a shock from it. Polywire is completely useless as it goes from 9000 volts to nothing in a very short section (several hundred yards). Are you getting kickbacks from Stafix to recommend their junk or did I get a bum unit that they need to replace before the 2 year warranty expires?

[michaelyoungblood]

How do you buy stafix? Can’t find anywhere

[mf]

I don't understand ground rods at

[therealsideburnz]

I’m planning to put my charger on a smart light switch. Turn it on and off, or check that it’s on from town if you want to. And you won’t have to worry about forgetting the remote. You or your helpers have their phone they can turn the fence on and off. Alexa, turn the fence on!
