anybody else get the Tri Tronic 40th anniversary card in the mail? They are offering 40% off on a new collar if you send in your old collar. I have an old field 70 that I like but have considered getting a unit that is a bit smaller and lighter. Do you guys that have the small walkie talkie style transmitters like them as well as the old "flashlight" style that I currently have. I kind of like the old style as it fits in the holder on my game vest and is easy to find the button without haveing to look for it. Also am not sure if I would like having the new smaller model that hangs around your neck. Just looking for some feed back on the other style of transmitter

The locator tone is indeed a nice feature. Has almost eliminated the need to nick my dogs. I have a Dogtra and it really is a great collar. Like you, I first thought having the transmitter hanging around my neck would be a pain, but it really isn't a big deal at all. I'd say you have the opportunity for a very nice upgrade.

Gadgetman,

If you are not going to use that 40% off card, please send it my way wink

I have the G2 model today and instead of having it hang around my neck, I bought a holder that has a clip so I attach it to a belt loop on my pants. Works pretty decent.

I won't own another Tritronics. I had repeated issues with the ones that I owned. Switched to Dogtra and never looked back. I have run a two dog system and it has worked flawlessly for 3 years. Its used year round and I still haven't had to swap out the rechargeable batteries.

I had a 13 year old Field 70(called the Judge) that I sent in this morning. It was still working fine just too bulky. Ordered a new Pro 100 Exp, paid less than I paid 13 years ago for the other one. Can't beat that deal!

Thanks for the input guys. I am NOT looking to trade to a different manufacturer of collars, I like my TT just fine. I was just wondering if people liked the small transmitter as I am used to the larger unit that I have had for 8 years. They are offering me a pretty good discount on a new model and I guesss that I will have to take them up on their offer

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
