His problem, although possible, is unlikely to be the actual "fencer"
High powered fencers are a mixed blessing. They Usually (50 year old
memory...I haven't farmed since 61.
Will burn off the weed where it touches the fence, thus the name, "weed
choppers". This also kills the weeds right down to the roots, But after
a spell, the grass and new weeds grow taller and a brisk wind will blow
them against the fence causing a new round of noise and they MAY be
really noisy while killing and shortening weeds and grass. The MAY also
kill small tree branches.
His horses will certainly notice the more powerful fence and it may
expose the problem spot. Something is shorting that fence to ground,
somewhere and I'd bet it's more substantial than weeds. There is either
a mistake in the wiring, or he has a bad insulator on a steel fence post
and I'd bet it's close to the power source. That fence should be hard on
anyone's tooth enamel who touches it regardless of distance from the
power source.
Just don't have your tongue between your teeth when it's working
correctly and you touch it!<:-)

Maybe the higher power controller will burn off the grass. Can only hope.

So, small update. Seems like when it rains or is extremely foggu/humid
outside the noise goes down.sometimes way down.(mostly overnight)..(solar
charged battery dying?)
I am unable to convince the neighbour he should trim weeds, even though I
told him I never noticed anything until mid-to-late May (when the grass and
weeds really took off here in NB (Ve9)
