SUPER heavy, so you'll need help moving it. It's built like a tank. I may be able to deliver for a fee, but you'd need to come see it and pay for it before I haul it anywhere.
I built this thing last spring for my first and only meat chickens, and I decided it was not for me, so I also have other processing stuff that was only used for one season of chickens. The plucker works, but my meat birds would jam the motor because they were so heavy. If someone wants to take it and maybe add a stronger motor, that would probably fix it, or just part it out for the fingers and pulley system. Also have a cone-killing station.
