Baselman Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Mine was delivered yesterday and they will be harvesting the Beans tomorrow, so I will tell you how they perform after the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveyg Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I bought one a few weeks ago..lightweight is a good description,not sure on how long it will last. Good value for the money but not a long term solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosthunter Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 My mate has gone through 2 of those lightweight ones and they burnt out very fast.. Not even lasting more than 2 outings. So he has swapped model now to the "pigtele" version from A1 and had no problems yet... My "pigtele" one has been fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooder Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Had one of these, don't try to run dead bird on them as the bush/bearing wear where the shaft comes out of the motor housing, ruined mine inside a year. now upgraded to their heavyweight model its a lot more robust build.

A1Decoy Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hello guys, We are on the MK 2 now, we had people asking us to make a lightweight one for ages and the samples we made and tested all went well. We had a few from the first batch(mk 1) that were not up to scratch and couldn't deal with the weight of dead birds. We tested it exhaustively then on decoys only and it went well so we sold the last of that batch for use with decoys only. Not ideal but we made the best of it and any customers that were not happy we exchanged them for our PIGTELE model as Ghosthunter states. After lots more testing we the the MK 2 lightweight out now which has a larger more powerful motor in it, and can now happily cope with dead birds. They are a little bit more than the standard 2 magnets because of the way the motor is it has been be a whole different class of motor, If you are really worried about weight and have to walk to your chosen spot every time they are great but if you cn drive there we would advocate going for the cheaper Heavy Duty or PIGTELE models as they have been round for years and are absolutely bombproof! Hope this helps guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baselman Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi Dad, Sorry I did not get back to you on my Rotary and how it fared but the 5 Fields of Beans have been cut but no Pigeons. Don't know where they have gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
