Full build, parts list, and first use all in this video.

Thank you @Southern Engineering for pioneering this design!

Features:

- single on/off switch operates rinse ring & motor
- two hose accessory hookups
- quick connect hose fittings
- 10’ hose with spray nozzle
- large wheels for easy mobility
- 30’ power cord
- 1 hp farm duty 1800 rpm motor
- all metal construction
- super durable polyethylene barrel
- thick aluminum feather plate
- fully painted chassis and manifold
- tensioned metal frame tube secures barrel with authority
- stainless steel fasteners and aluminum pop rivets
- best ergonomics of any plucker I’ve used/studied
- very easy to clean

After looking at commercially available units, and having used one last year, it became clear that there is room to build a better plucker. The features, mobility, and lightning fast set up as well as super short clean up time is what sets this apart from other designs. So far it worked brilliantly on pheasant. This year I will try it on quail, duck, chicken, goose, and turkey. Cheers!
