saluki bulls 118 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Interesting to see if they last as long as the mk1 Only time wil tell. Ano what ur sayn mate. Just madness how p payn £150+ for mk1 which is about 20yr old haha.... No warranty or nothing could use it few tyms and it goes bang. Atleast if u buy latest model u gettn warranty and get brand new one if that goes bang plus getting parts for 3m is easier. Atb scott. Ps not been a dick ere or tryn to argue ;-). Quote Link to post

liam 73902516 0 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 have just bought a mk3 its the first ferret finder ive owned so i cant comment on any others but im impressed with it so far and found it easy to use Quote Link to post
foxtails 272 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 the mk1 boxes can be repired if need be,,the collars are cheap enough aswel, iv just sold a mk1 box + collar for £130 but then only paid £90 for a mk3 ? some people just prefer the old ways,( as they say if its not broke, theres no need to fix it!) the mk1 does me fine, everyone to theyr own, but as for tug saying only simple people cant work out the mk3s, what a fecking dick,,(always was a pr**k) lol,it aint up to you to call people thick!, if i took the time to figure it out,i expect i could in no time at all, but why when the mk1 does me fine? alot of folk use the mk1, and have no trouble at all, maybe in 10 years time if theyr hard to come by and the prices are too high i might swap over, but for now im fine with it!!!!!!!!!!

Country Joe 1,411 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 If you can come on here on line, and upload Photos. Then you can work a mark3,I have the both kinds, but I also prefer the mark1. I bet if Deben stated producing the Mark1 at a decent price, they would sell easily. Quote Link to post

Cheshire Poacher 6 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 i used the mk1 for years and found them good but when the mk3 came out i decided to up grade and at first strugled to work it out and was going to go back to the mk1 but with abit of time i picked it up 3 years on i would never go back. I was ferreting weekend just gone and we used my mates mk1 boxes and collers and to tell the truth there not a patch on the mk3m i nearley gave up on the mk3m and now im very very glad i diddnt lier Quote Link to post
Tug 168 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Only simple people struggle to use the MK3, and the magnets make it even easier to use (no fumbling with batteries with cold hands) Bold statement... One I'll stand by. I'll happily show anyone how to use it properly, and I'm yet to meet anyone with a brain that can't use one. Quote Link to post
Sirius 1,391 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Mk3m is the best I have used and I have owned mk1 mk2 mk3 and now the mk3m. The collars have issues but the finder all in all is good and the extra range is very handy. Quote Link to post
QUINT 20 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 cant understand people crowing on about the old grey boxes,used them week in week out , ferrets and terriers for 20 odd years and due to dampness went through two to three boxes/collars a season , bought a mk3 box and collar 6 years ago and still using it , got a magnetic collar last season and have to say its the job , batteries seem to last longer too ps dig to both ferrets and terriers with the mk3 been spot on everytime Quote Link to post

Well the group I go with, both ferrets and terriers, none of us are stupid but none use the mk3 because we think there shite, and we've bought and used 2 diff sets, we just don't like them, tho I still have the collars, Quote Link to post
