My motor is electric. http://www.whizbangbooks.com/ If you go here you can check them out. There is also a Yahoo group dedicated to this.Do you guys have any pics of your pluckers? I like that idea for sure, the arthritis in my hands won't be helpful to me at all. Also, can you run these pluckers off of a tractor PTO, or is that a bit much? Would hate to send the whole bird into orbit!
