An Electrifying Day with the Fence Charger

[@brandywineblue]

You can start gardens and chickens in your backyard, get some good practice, knowledge and routine established in that time! That's what Joel Salatin told a young man who said it'd take years to save up for a piece of land. Pete mentioned Joel when he was talking about chicken tractors and reclaiming pasture land using the various animals' natural instincts (eg pigs rooting, chickens scratching, goats browsing, etc)

Pete, I am impressed with the way your tractors start. After watching for a few years, I shouldn’t be surprised, excellent maintenance and overhauls. Growing up in western Pa. many years ago, we had As, Cs, Hs and Ms. we would call the difficult to start tractors, Hill Tractors, that’s the ones you parked on a hill before shutting them off. That way you could drift start them when you needed to use them again. Thanks for the memories.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Just a memory of mine...when I was young, we never had "nice" tractors. Brakes didn't work, temperamental, breaking down, hard to start, beat up, tired engines, really "low overhead" pieces of equipment. One of the reasons I started restoring tractors was because I wanted ones that worked like new.

[@johnodwyer1386]

Hi Pete, I love your videos which remind me of the time when I lived on a small farm in southern Ireland in my early life. My father used to call the cattle like you do. Every one of them also had a name too. I am amazed how similar your farm in New York was to ours 50 years ago. Although we did not have even electric fences back then my job was to move cattle from field to field and I and my father would feed them with hay bundles from our backs. It was possible because we only had 15 cattle in all. I love seeing Hilary with you on the farm because my mother also played a large part in running the farm. I am 68 years old now and even though I did not stay on the farm all those years I have still fond memories of my homeplace

[@Papazipper9436]

Hi Pete and Hillary. Hillary is such a saint, she never told Pete that she pulled up (by hand) and put back the rods while he was off changing the implement, I've heard that when Chuck Norris needs a hand he calls Hillary.

[@kevinkoepke8311]

You must be grateful you didn't hit a rock. While in Home Depot one day, I watched a guy loading a cart full of 1/2" ground rods, taking all that were there. Had to tell him the copper is just a plating. He walked away just leaving it, probably to go and steal someone's A/C. Thanks, Pete and Hillary!

a remark about daylight saving time, as a young man in the merchant navy the ships clocks were put forward or back about half an hour every day depending on sailing east or west. a pain in the bum. then i joined a company that mainly sailed north south...the difference...we never changed "ship time" no matter where we were or time ashore. ignore daylight saving time you will love it.

[@paulinelarson465]

My Minnesota farmer uncles had strict rules about safety procedures for us children. Most important, ALL the pitchforks were to be accounted for, in their storage area, before we could play in the hayloft. Before we touched any wire fence, we were to test it with a long grass stem. I'm 74 now and I think they were still a bit leary of the electrification. They also ran the electric through the existing barbed wire, instead of the modern smooth wires. My sister was zapped a few times because she would forget to test - then she would blame me for purposely zapping her ! !

Pete, another great video. Here is a thought... why not cut the heavy cattle fence you put up in your last video at the wooden post so you can make a wide gate that would go from the wooden post to the next post. Looks like it would be simpler and allow you to have a wider gate for " just in case" situations. Enjoy your videos. You have inspired me to have chickens. I have ten. Dave

[@danielbutler578]

When I was growing up we had a fence charger that was a straight transformer. It was live with no blink to it. I remember once when it tested to be shorted out. I unplugged it and went to find the problem. Unfortunately, my father plugged it in while I was finding the problem. When I went to pick up the wire I got my eyes lit up. I went back to the barn and unplugged it again and took the fence charger with me. Dad met me at the barn after I made the repairs and was hooking the fence back up. That's when he found out that he had plugged it in while I was working on it. It took me a while before I could laugh about it and he was trying not to.

[@noelhenderson8095]

I agree with your pete The Galvanised rods are better I actually used galvanised water pipe I think I've got about 30 of them around the fence I put them next to a star picket all I did was I connect a wire to the ground Rod to the star picket and I run them right around the perimeter I think I put maybe 40-in and they work beautifully

[@johnwesner3935]

Pete, I am so sorry for laughing when you got shocked!😢 No, I'm not. Been there! We live in the glaciated region of Wisconsin. I could never drive a ground rod that easily. When I dig a hole to plant a bush I end up with the truck bed full of rocks and have to bring in soil to fill the hole! During a recent street improvement project it took a special contractor over three weeks to drill ten "H" piles for a retaining wall. Drill, grout, core, repeat!😢 It is cool though to see some of the strange geology. Thanks!
