You'll undoubtedly get a lot of opinions, but when I needed a new one a couple of years ago I chose the dogtra model 2000, and it is fantastic. Believe the model numbers are different now, but having a pointer, I bought the model with a built in beeper/locator which is a very nice feature. All-in-all, a truly great collar, and reasonably priced.

I've got the Tritronics Classic 70 G3 EXP. It's bomb proof, easy to charge, and put together well. I got sick of replacing my lower price point dogtra and sport model tritronics every few years and decided to lay some money down on the gold standard. Hopefully I won't be dissapointed. I've had my new unit for 6 months and I really like it so far.

I have 3 dogtra collars, two for pointers and one for a lab. Great customer service when it came time to replace the batteries in one of the units. had a sport dog and didn't like it and took it back. I had an old TriTronics and they seemed to want a lot of money to replace the batteries and did little to support an older unit.

Dogtra. I have had Tritronics in the past and the Dogtra is a more reliable, better built e-collar in my opinion. Tritonics customer service is Ok. Ive never had to use the Dogtra customer service as i have never had an issue with my Dogtra collars.

I have had a few different kinds, and the best by far has been my SportDog Hound Hunter 3200. It is a no frills collar made to reach out there (2 mile range.) I met a dealer in Michigan that could beat anybodys price, sale or not. I think I paid about $420-450 for three collars and one transmitter. He also sells the 2500 series which has tone and shock ( 1.5 mile range) for about the same price (about $250 for one dog system, add about $90 for an extra collar).

He also deals with other companies including Tritronics. I went with sportdog after reading tons of negative reviews about the new Tritronics G3 systems. Sportdog is also easier on the pocket and their service is second to none. Shoot me an email if you would like his number.

I own a sportdog sporthunter 800. It has been nothing but trouble for 3 years now. The battery connection inside the collar kept coming loose. Dealt with customer service and they obviously knew about the problem because they directed me to check this out first. I now have a piece of duct tape inside the collar to keep the battery connected. They wouldn't fix it for free because the one year labor warranty was expired. Battery life is short and it takes too long to recharge. If you quit hunting at dark, it won't be charged by morning. Not even close. I confronted one of their sales people at Cabelas about my problems. He claimed to have "never heard of the battery connection issues" and proceeded to avoid me so that I didn't ruin any of his potential new sales.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
