Commercial incubator /Hatcher set

[Tcthomps1]

I have a chance to purchase a used commercial incubator/ hatchet set. The incubator hold over 2000 chicken eggs, includes trays for the harvest and baskets for the Hatcher. They each look like a double door cabinet that the doors swing open from the front. Fully automated, turners, humidity, heat etc. Judy something if anyone had experiance using this size equipment? I was looking at purchasing one or two more cabinets style incubators before spring hadn't really settled on what to do about Hatcher yet when I found this for sale. At$1600 it is about what I would have spent on 2 cabinet incubators and 2 hatchers if I found them all used, with about double(or more) the egg capacity. I am not really that big yet but i hope to be eventually. My farm is my early retirement plan. Any advice?

2000 chicken eggs?!!! What are you the Easter Bunny?!!

We have several breeds of chicken, Turkey and quail.

And I probably wouldn't have it running at full capacity soon but if you figure several hundred eggs per week and eggs started each week, you would have 1000 eggs at a time already in there pretty easy.
