Thank you @SouthernEngineering for pioneering this design!
Full build video with all steps and part list: • How to Make the Ultima...
Here is an overview of the design. I will have a longer video coming in a week or two that has more detail on the build process as well as a complete part list down to the last nut, bolt, and pop rivet.
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!

This Plucker is better than any $1500+ unit on the market, by far. Great Job 👏🏽 Thank you for the list of items and NOT spending 10 minutes talking at the beginning of the video and sharing random thoughts about nothing. Also, thanks for NOT blasting loud music while filming! This was a Great quality video, too.

I've been watching a bunch of DIY chicken pluckers and I must say that this is the best one.

Dude.. good job! And I really appreciate (not many care) the fact that you cut the neck on the bird neatly, instead of just chopping his head off. Not many people do that

@samuelwiltzius Жыл бұрын

Thanks! My wife is the poultry researcher while I am infrastructure… she is very concerned with humane treatment and also explained to me the importance of keeping the spinal cord in tact for feather release. So far it seems she is spot on and things have gone well.

@@samuelwiltzius Nice work. Have a question about number of fingers you used. Southern Engineering used 152 but you seem to follow the Whizbang plans on that one and they used 125. Did you have any problems with the fingers NOT doing a good job? S.E. says he used 3/16 plate but the .125 says he used 1/8. What did you use?

@samuelwiltzius Жыл бұрын

@@Bobcagon thanks! I had great luck with chicken and pheasant with the wiz bang finger layout… but geese and turkey took longer (50-75% more spin) so I added more fingers after looking at commercial plucker finger layout and also increased the speed to 315 rpm - I feel this has optimized the plucker and there are no more gains to be had. The feather plate is from chickenpluckerparts.com and is .190" 5052-H32 Aluminum

First off, Kudo’s for giving Southern Engineering his credit. He did a great job but he’s kind if disappeared. You really stepped it up and I can’t wait to get your parts list and see your more detailed video. Most Excellent Job! Two challenges for you: One, we need a scalder and two, I want to build a honey extractor which could likely be built similar to this plucker. Thanks!

@samuelwiltzius Жыл бұрын

Not sure on the honey extractor - I have bees (build my own frames and boxes) my extractor is second hand and all stainless steel - probably better to buy that and DIY add a motor. The plucker I built was expensive (see end of long video I posted) but scalder was cheap. I briefly talk about the scalder in a video showing how my wife and I process birds, I’ll find a link for that. A scalder is just a barrel/pot of some type, 2000W hot water element, 10 gauge extension cord, water heater lower thermostat (residential goes to 150, commercial hotter but more money) and 1" FPT Bulkhead Water Tank Connector Stainless Steel Thru-bulk Fitting (Amazon.com name). A hole saw and a few pop rivets and it’s built.

undecided... The cost ran close to $900 for parts alone. This was fine more us since I provided the labor, enjoy making stuff, and we really wanted extra features and portability not found elsewhere. Unfortunately, I think my labor costs would make the price a bit too much. Thanks for asking though!

@samuelwiltzius Жыл бұрын

It isn’t. When doing waterfowl I first spin them in plucker under cold water for 5-8 seconds before scalding so it roughs up the feathers and oils. Once I forgot and kept spinning - those feathers stayed put!
