[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1243701, member: 18945"] I don't use any hot wires on perimeter fences--property line is National Forest and I can't keep their brush cut off. Patriot is a NZ product made for US market--and not a high end product IMO, tho I do have a solar powered one I use for temp fences--it works ok for calves as a cross fence and that's about it--7000V but not much energy (joules) . I've had it 3 years now. I think Cross7 sells fence chargers as part of his job and he once said almost all their returns were Patriot. I have a Zareba eac100m-z 100mile 6joule energizer that runs off 110V, but I haven't used it much yet so I can't really say yay or nay on it yet. I used it to keep a BM and Char bull apart and some good sized cows off clover and oats last winter and nothing crossed it. Everyone says Cyclops is the best, but man---they are high $$$. Dunno about Pel--I think it is just sold in NZ and Australia. Years ago, the old Red Snap'r weed burner was the one to have around here, but Zareba now makes them--or Red Snap'r makes Zareba---they're in Cahoots somehow anyway. [/QUOTE]
