3 Reason Your Electric Fence SUCKS!

[@davidmalinowski7930]

Cyclops chargers have never failed me aslo comes with replaceable fuses

[@masonbaylorbears]

Yes i love my cyclops! And american made

[@ProfESOrr-im5su]

Put in more posts Billy, keep the net off the grass!

[@ProfESOrr-im5su]

If you have problems with your charger, buy a quality one. How to tell you ask, look for those with a 10 year warranty...built to last, you see?

I love using modern things to get up and running, but, I am always thinking, "How would I have to do this if there was no electricity or running water?" I think this way because, like it or not, it can happen. Consider the collapse of the Bronze Age, and realize that we are in basically the same situation of global interconnectivity today. When the dominoes begin to fall, they are all going to come crashing down. I want to be able to continue what I am doing unabated in the event of the collapse of our current Age.

thanks Billy!

Thank you. Your garden and videos inspired me to finally start. Years ago I read about permaculture and dreamed of the day I would start it but I never did. I finally started last fall. Now not only do I have 14 fruit trees started but N fixers like Black Locust, Siberian Pea Shrub, and Seaberry. Many berry bushes and strawberries. I have Jerusalem Artichoke, hops, garlic, comfrey, runner beans, squash from seeds taken from squash given to me by a neighbor, fava beans, and decorative flowers like Nasturtium, wild flowers like tansy and yarrow, wild roses, wild flowering honeysuckle, all planted or growing in random places. It looks like total chaos but that's how I like it. But I still need more mulch.

If possible have your system on the lowest part of your property. Rocky and sandy soils, you may have to run a ground wire 6” below your hot wire and have another ground rod in each corner of your property. Cry once when buying equipment vs crying when your livestock gets out and causes a wreck.

Cyclops Fence chargers are made in the USA and they are bulletproof had one going on 3 years and only problem I had was during a really bad thunderstorm and got hit by lighting close and rather then blowing the unit up it popped a glass fuse (came with 4 extra) popped a new fuse in and back up and working. Then I added a Wyze WiFi plug on it and now when I’m out working on the fence all I have to do is use the app. If something happens and I think I’ve been hacked I can go to the plug pull it out and plug directly back in and back to secure.

[@danielb1877]

Glad to hear. I am intending to purchase a Cyclops Champ for our property, based on recommendations from a video by a guy who repairs fence chargers.

[@GimmeADream]

A good tester is a necessity. I have several solar chargers and at least two but probably 3 AC chargers. Backups for my backups, lol. But you said something about trickle charging a 12-volt battery with the solar panel. Now that sounds interesting. I have one solar charger that must be 20 years old. The battery is toast but the solar still works in the sun. If I can connect it to a 12-volt battery, that would be awesome.

[@lambfactory2537]

I have had good reliability with Parmak solar chargers.

[@johnstjean1422]

Thank for explaining all this. There no information going in depth like you are

[@camicri4263]

Thank you so much my friend! Hugs and blessings to you all

[@rickthelian2215]

Billy we can make some good stuff down here in Australia 😊

[@reneebrown2968]

Billy most things in the USA is built to fail. They do this that way you have to buy more or parts to fix it. Sad but true

[@camicri4263]

Very sad!

[@SG-vu4qy]

stafix is discontinued, is now called speedrite. do you have input on this brand?

[@janew5351]

I just tried to look up for price, replaced by Speedrite!

[@dwighthires3163]

Good information, Billy

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks a lot my friend!

[@victorialg1270]

Thanks for the tip for desert.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Anytime my friend!

[@GraceFilledHomestead]

Hey there! I needed this as I need an electric fence ❤

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Glad it helped my friend! Thanks for watching!

[@rodneyb7918]

After all that and you still have grounding problems, use pool salt pellets in the grounding hole.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Have you tried Gallagher solarizer? They have a great 3 warranty

[@JohnDoe-cj4gn]

Another valuable video. Thank you.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Appreciate it my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@TMesser74]

Our problem isn’t it not working. Our problem is my fence doors are shocking me! And when it rains it jumps to our tposts! We can’t find anywhere it’s touching!

[@melissavisconti89]

Thank you Billy that was very helpful. I've been talking about getting an electric fence for the orchard now I know what way we should go.

[@sandyssmallhomestead5335]

Cyclops works good for me.

[@georgemiller9533]

So if I get a solar charger TO a battery on DC I’m good? That’s where i have been leaning.

[@GoogleAccount-fx4cz]

Billy please answer the question I'm going to ask, on your next video, you have tallgrass and dry next to the electrical wires Is it possible it could get short and start a fire 🔥 wow 😮be careful investigated for us and let us know thank you for all great information you give us and share with us 👍

[@jongretty]

7:00 awesome, blew my mind lol

[@patty9265]

Great great info thanks

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thanks a lot my friend!

[@mlauntube]

8:16 “And you’re going to want to join them… It’s better if you can do it exothermicly.” Why is the Homestead Honey not previewing your videos before you post them?

[@samuelanderson3424]

6:50 to 7:50 Just LIKE LOVING A LADY...

[@kennethvogt9379]

How do you protect your batteries in the “rainforest”?

[@reneebrown2968]

Not hard. Put it in a plastic box that is sealed

[@kennethvogt9379]

@@reneebrown2968 Should we be concerned about off gassing?

[@jeremyhula931]

I suppose a ground rod for a house needs to be driven deeper???

[@johnstjean1422]

It worst when the animal get out them your stuck chasing them for 4 hours happen to us handful of time. We had the one bull ran 1 km form the farm

[@kentuckysustainableliving3583]

Buy a good charger and cry once about it.

[@ProfESOrr-im5su]

You havnt tried almost everything out there. Youve been buying (now promoting) the cheap stuff.

[@masonbaylorbears]

Very wrong on the American comment nothing better than a cyclops and american made!
