LOL no but I have a Ford f-350 dually and a horse trailer, I can manage! LOL

It will work out I am sure. I have a good big bator and it will get a good workout along with the 8 lg/gqf styrofoam bators. I also have one that i could borrow and maybe 2 more.

Plus since it is for FFA I am sure if I get really bogged down Orschelns would kick in for one for the FFA CLub.

OOHHH a dually and a horse trailer. I want. I have a question. When you open the styrofoam bators to candle or add more eggs does the temp usually go wacky for a few hours. Mine really spiked last night after i candeled and then was back to normal today. but then...... i added more eggs and the temp went crazy again.

Well it does not go totally crazy, might drop down(I have seen it go to 85 degrees) because I had it opened for like 5 minutes but about 30-40 min later it is usually back to the right spot. What kind of crazy do you mean. Explain and I will try to help

After thinking about it last night i think my digital thermometer is on the fritz. Its a new accurite but is was reading like 104. but it is also reading that my basement is 9 degrees. My inside thermometer is reading normal.

I would grab another thermometer/hygrometer from Wal-mart and test it out. We have one from there that is WAY off, we put 3 in the incubator and 2 were within a .5 of a degree and the other was off by 2-4 degrees. It went back to Walmart!
