Any suggestions?

Mine works great, not the strongest charger but could use a new battery. Gets a little weak at night when it gets cold out. Try a new battery.

I guess I should update my review of this weed whip. Lasted just 3 years and the engine is shot. Not sure what happened just know it's locked up. For the price I thought it longer.

I don't know we never raised to breeding age.

Not always but most of the time. Each location is different.

I charged mine with using the solar it came with. And that's all I've ever done since it was new and it is still functioning great. Only difference now is it still has the the job as before but now it also keeps our calve in.

It’s solar. Lol You turn it off and set it in the sun and the sun charges the battery. Or if you’re not having enough sun you can take the battery out and charge it that way. When these work, they are amazing, I have two 18 mile ones and they have given us trouble which we have not found the issue yet but holds 400 lb hogs with no issue when it works. Hope you get yours charged.

Our quail come from James Marie Farms out of Louisiana.

The system works well for our offgrid homestead. Don't think we can find anything better.

I just finished my 2nd season on mine and I couldn't be happier. So just what is wrong with your unit.

Not a problem, I no longer drive those machines.

So far so good with the primer bulb. Wish they would make it without the bulb like my Echo CS590 chainsaw.

We've always found sprayed leg starts in the incubator at hatch. Some of the time the chick has trouble hatching. Like taking too long. Most of the time it's genetics. Wrong breeding program at the hatchery. Good luck getting them to admit their inbreeding program.

@@thecountrybunkins8896 Yup never any problems here with splayed legs. Proper genetics and care go a long way with mortality rates.

We do not raise ostriches.

We live completely off grid. So the requirements for us might be different. Now, with that being said. RPS is by design a DIY system.Took my wife and I about an hour to wire, plum, and drop. The about another hour or so to mount, hookup, the panels the mount and hookup the control box. Personally, I'd call RPS for what size system would be best for you. That is what I did and that is why I have a 400v.

Our daughter makes plastic feeders out of storage containers with a 4 inch tube out the top about 2 and a half feet tall. Just to give more feed holding ability.

I bought it last year April. It runs great, 2 weeks ago I drained the fuel, put fresh gas in it. Fixed a problem that was caused by me last summer when I changed oil. Word of note....never over fill the crank case, it leaks out and gets the pull rope oily, and blows oil out the air breather. I mean it ran fine last year even with those problems. I just thought going into this season it should be right. A few pulls and fired right up, used for a couple of hours. Told my wife this thing is great and put it back in the barn where it has been all winter long. Talk about dusty, as we raise game birds in there.

I've had my 490 since 2015.. no problems till about a month ago. Primer bulb cracked. I'll find a new bulb and be on my way again. I use it to till my garden every year too.. it's a heavy reliable beast.

We are now expanding into guinea fowl.

In a much larger scale, in all we will have over 120.

@@thecountrybunkins8896 Thank you so much for suggesting them! Do you have a certain type of variety you'd recommend?

We raise James Marie Pharaoh, it's a jumbp class bird that lays very large eggs. Over 18 grams. Also, for the most part reaches butcher size in 6 weeks at 14ozs.

Thanks, the system worked very good, but now we live in eastern Washington. The area gets too much wind for our greenhouse plastic. So we built a barn before the plastic got torn off by a wind storm, which happened a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks, we now live in eastern Washington on 20 acres. Too much wind here for a greenhouse, so we built a barn. Just a couple of weeks ago the plastic got torn off by a wind storm.

We bought ours to hatch, but none did. Sometimes to learn and try againg sometime.

But if you are wanting to eat ours cost us $100 each.

@@thecountrybunkins8896 also in LA the eggs are cheaper 35 an egg

These birds run pretty standard at 12 to 14 oz. at 6 weeks. Its their egg size that is really the high point. 16 to 20 grams. We feed 30% feed all the time. Hatching, these eggs do not fit in a GQF quail turner. So we use the GQF chicken turner instead. Only problem is we can only hatch 40 instead of 120.

@@thecountrybunkins8896 That's just what I was wondering about. Thanks.

We received the eggs thru an ostrich breeder in New Mexico www.floeckscountry.com, 100 dollars per egg. Very nice lady to work with.

I charged mine for 4 hours only because I couldn't wait. Neighbor has cows. But I think you are supposed to wait longer.

3 days is the instructions

Do you have to place a ground rod every 10 feet?

Lee Barker I just returned mine and bought something different!

I also saw a dead quail in the corner idk if you missed !

We are moving are birds to eastern Washington.

I really like mine, except for the brush cutter. I'm going to buy the Forrester. It uses chain saw cutting teeth. Yup, saw it on KZbin. I think it would work best on sage brush. Yet another reason to buy this weed whip, it comes with the brush cutter working rod so I only need to change the brush head. Leaving my weed whip rod alone.

@@thecountrybunkins8896 I actually bought Shakespeare with thickest line for mine. I forgot I even had a brush cutter. Anyway I just ate through a bunch of stuff

@@jasonfoster8871 Been using my 4 stroker this spring, works like a charm. Sure wish they made a 4 stroke chainsaw.

@@thecountrybunkins8896 same

Glad you like it. I worked mine very hard last weekend burning thru 2 tanks of gas. Cutting grass that liked to wrap, the engine never slowed down no matter how hard I pushed it. Lots of torque.
