[QUOTE="Bez, post: 97824, member: 412"] Tod My tester only goes to 8000 and it lights up all the way - right to the end of the line. Just grab on and let it hit. If it gets up to your elbow before you can let go it is working well. Electro therapy is supposed to be good for arthritus - do not have any so I either have good genes or the therapy is working. :D I like to train the young cows by hanging a couple of those aluminum pie plates from the wire in the small pen. They just HAVE to go and sniff them! :D Wife tests in her socks with a blade of green grass. Daughters use the tester. I am always forgetting the darned thing in the shop - so I went bio a couple of years ago. Yeah, I still jump when I get hit. Do not pee on the wire!! :D Our fencers - 3 of them - are mostly 100 milers - made by Red Snap'r. I have a couple of battery powered jobs - cannot remember their names for the rental properties, but the home place is 5 strands of electric. I hate baby sitting batteries. All in all there is probably more than a 100 miles of wire on our pastures - but we break it up into 10 mile "total wire" sections to keep the power up. Everything is set so we can power up or power down sections as required. Winter pastures have alternating ground wires and hot wires. When they try to stick their heads through the fence they are zapped. Straight hot wires do not work well in our winter because frozen ground and snow does not always allow a decent ground through the cows feet. Bez [/QUOTE]
