I have used several different brands of fence charger and only have two that were worth having, in my opinion ar Gallagher and Premier1(www.premier1supplies.com). If you live in a high rainfall area where dry ground is not a problem, the Gallagher works very well since it is a low impedence charger. If your conditions vary, and the ground can get dry in the late summer then Premier 1 has the wide impedence chargers that provide a high shock even on dry ground relative to a low impedence charger. Neuither of these chargers are cheap but I have a 12 old Gallagher and a 4 year old Premier1 solar that have never needed maintenance.
The secret to good charger performance is the ground system. In really dry conditions, you may have to run a separate ground wire about 4 inches below every hot wire to make sure the animals are shocked since the impedence through a normal ground contact situation is too high. get your self a good digital voltmeter to check you fence with. They are spendy but they"ll tell if the fence will keep the animals where you want them. Some of them will even tell you where the short is when you have that problem. My Preimer1 solar will keep a 3/4 mile clean line at 6400V and the gaalgher is in the same league. They have blown me out of my socks on several occaisions!

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
