I am going to be replacing my current collar, I have a tritronics 60. Looking for something smaller what do you suggest? Would like to spend less than 350 and will only be running 1 dog with it.

I used to own a tritronics. I currently own a Dogtra 2000 T&B, which is a little more then your are looking for. But I would never go back to tritronics after owning this unit. I would seriously be looking at the Dogtra brand if I were you. I was going to by a new tritronics but Dog trainer working at Cabelas in Rogers in the training collar department said Dogtra is what she recommends to everyone.

I also have the Dogtra T&B 2000...I am VERY happy with it. It is worth every penny (so long as you hunt a pointing dog).

I do own a pointing dog but I'd say it's more for anyone who hunts pheasants. In the cattails on a windy day it can be hard to locate your dog. But with the T&B a touch of a button and you know where he/she is at. I personnally would never hunt pheasants without a beeper collar.

I was also a Tritronics guy and last year Iswitched to Dogtra. I run a 1702NCP 2 dog system. It works great. The reason I like it better are the ease of turning it on and off, better stimulus level control (0-127 I believe) the batteries seem to last longer and the smaller size of remote.

The Tritronics worked fine. I just had issues with being able to turn the unit on and off and had to send it back to the factory a couple times. Once I went through my third set of batteries in 7 years I decided it was time to upgrade. Its been a great choice so far.

For me I'm going with the sportdog collars. The trainer I've been working with showed me the tritronics, the Dogtra, Sportdog and I think one other one, innotek or something.

Anyway, for my dog (only 40-50lbs) I wanted a smaller collar and something that I can use or my wife or whoever, I really like the sportdog. Very simple to use and easy to handle. I'm getting the 800 and I think its only $200.

sweept, I have an English Springer too. I just started collar training with my pup this week. Actually the trainer started it and now I'm being trained on how to use it with the dog. Its quite amazing how fast they learn what the collar is for and what you expect. He learned all the commands on a leash, but the collar helps reinforce the commands without using a leash.

The Sportdog 800 was suggested to me for my springer because of its size. Its smaller and not as heavy since my springer is only gonna be in the 40-45lb range. No need for a big beefy battery dragging his head down.

Well, I know quite a few folks who use the TriTronics Sport 50 collars and they love 'em. Mainly using them on Labs the work waterfowla and birds. Apparently pretty trouble-free and simple.

I KNOW from personal experience that the TriTronics people are sure helpful and willing to do whatever it takes to get the right stuff to you and stand behind it and in today's world THAT is worth a lot!! wink.gif

I got the Sportdog this Spring with the 1 mile range ($250.00). For the most part I'm satisfied. The only real issue is the caps where the charger plugs into do not appear snug enough to keep moisture/rain/water out, in my opinion. Maybe they are just fine. The unit came with several replacement caps, so I'm thinking this might be an issue. Otherwise it does just what I need it to do, variable corrections with high and low, momentary or continous, tone only button, 1 mile range, etc.

I wouldnt worry about the dogs size so much. I hunt 38 lb red setters who have NO problems with the Dogtra T&B. I dont know if a flushing dog really needs the locator so much though so you could probably get away with a standard e collar. Dogtra is a great option.

      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.
