Science of Merino: Handypiece makes clipping portable

The portable shearing clipping machine “Handypiece” was designed for animal health and farming efficiency. Its main benefit is that it enables producers to work anywhere, at any time, with no mains power required. Farmers of all abilities are able to keep on top of those dirty jobs, resulting in better animal health and all round farming efficiency. The Handypiece Pro has the added feature of variable speed from 2600rpm to 3500rpm. Dagging and crutching operate well at a mid-speed of 2800rpm, while anyone wanting to get a nice cut while shearing can wind it all the way up to 3500rpm. The brushless motor means the battery lasts even longer as it is possible to crutch between 300 and 400 sheep from one charge. Handypiece has a comprehensive website — for more information visit handypiece.co.nz or contact Top Gun Shearing Supplies in Malaga on 9249 5020.
