Bane of my life....
Anyone tried/use the kiwi tech system?
I'm having to expand my kit. Traditionally I've found Rutland to be the best (high build quality and not overly complicated)... However they've been sold to a German company and the range that I used is no longer available.
I'm loathed to use Fane Valley or Geared reels, as find that they aren't robust, and are badly engineered, easily broken, so really not worth their asking price..
Looking at Kiwi Tech, it seems like an expensive introduction, but thereafter quite cheap to expand the system- and looks relatively foolproof?!
(we use a three wire system and multiple paddocks/daily moves- just in case)
Any thoughts??
We're perhaps not using electric fencing intensely enough (not daily moves) so currently getting away with a hotchpotch of geared reels. Gallagher solar energiser is great though and got most of the sheep trained to single strand of polywire now which saves a lot of yomping. Still a lot of permanent boundary fencing to sort here and then we will look to introduce more semi-permanent HT hot wires.
