Title: Garmin Pro TrashBreaker
Post by: Jared H. on July 26, 2014, 09:48:02 am
Any body used Garmins new trash breaker? Need something with more range but don't know if I can afford switching to the alpha. Heard bad reviews about there delta series but was wondering about this one. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/26/y4a5avap.jpg)

I use the TrashBreaker EXP, and it has plenty of range,  and it has held up thru all kinds of torture .  The only time I have had to replace one is when a boar punched a hole in it....

   I did some looking at this one and overall it's a good concept . the only thing that killed it for me was no tone feature . you can turn on / off a tracer light with the hand held . but I have been spoiled to the tone button on my tri=tronics unit .  but for me I still say if you can't see or know what the dogs are doing or running you have no real reason to shock a dog . the range gets way out there but I don't see the need .

   I read some parts wrong it seems it does still have the tone feature on it ..   go to buddy's site [ double u ] he gives a pretty good review of the products he sells and has his opinions of this new unit posted  some good , some bad .  I would trust his opinions above all others  .

Thanks for the info. Sold my 4 wheeler so I'm gonna just buy the alpha. I've got a yella dog that has a lot of bottom on deer sometimes and need the most range I can get.
