Combi clamp leg

[General-Lee]

Used the combi clamp for the 1st time for a couple weeks and the top of my left leg thigh/groin area's pretty darn sore! Only docked the rams yesterday and ran through and read just over half our ewes today, anyone else found this it's not like it was a big number. Didn't think I was that old yet!

Groin pain? What were you doing to the sheep when you had them clamped?

I've never had any pain in my legs after using it, quite the opposite in fact. Sooooo much easier on my iffy knees than trying to restrain any number of sheep any other way, IME.

Oh it's defo easier, just can't figure out what I may of done recently other than that.

Sounds like you have done something in your back. Do you have to move the CC around . I find that causes the problems and strains.

Still a great piece of kit although there have been a lot of new handlers come out of Aus recently but usually lots more money and need air and or power.

We bring it in with pallet forks then drop it into place with a chain sling, the only awkward bit is the ramps! But going this afternoon to look at a beaver tail trailer so it can be left permanently set up.

Yeah seen some impressive kit on YouTube with rubber conveyor belts etc. but more aimed at large numbers.
