Tepari t10e or t20e have a built in panel reader (you still need to fit panel antenna)

Can be run off mains, internal battery and car battery.

Brother has got a pharmweigh my only criticism would be that its a bit heavy for me to chuck in the back of my truck when I want to borrow it
If you want solid then you don't need to look any further

Maybe a budget would be handy?

Personally, I wouldn’t look at anything with a Spring balance any more. I’d rather buy a second hand crate with a knackered scale, then convert it to digital, than touch a new Spring balance one. I suspect anyone that’s used a digital scale would say likewise.

Just a shame all these new crates are fair money, I'm after a new one for next year I want alloy though and need 3 way drafting but beyond that I don't want or need any eid or trickery, I'll have to have a look around at the sheep event

Got an old but solid Ritchie weigh crate. After “ advice “ on here I phoned allied weighing, and converted to digital. Top job , and greet folk to deal with . Infinitely better than the swing arm nonesense!

I suspect the current grant schemes will prevent you finding any bargains. Might be worth enquiringly about nearly new trade ins though?

Got a prattley 3 way drafter/weigher here, bought second hand off a member on this forum . Fantastic bit of kit, can’t imagine attempting to use spring type again .

There is a company that sells secondhand prattley crates I’m pretty sure .

Ritchie draft pro is very good 3 way draft and easy to work.

I suspect that will be the case, I suppose I could jump through a load of hoops for the grant but I've got no need for the eid bit of them

I bought the Prattley weigher, all alloy and 3 way shedding. I bit pricey but an investment.

If anybody is needing a high quality weigher I have a stainless steel electronic pharmweigh surplus to requirements

Do you still have your pharmweigh ?

The Ritchie is coming up to 30 years old here.

“Best” in my eyes tru test load bars on a Combi clamp.

No it’s sold a while back......although it hasn’t been picked up,yet.

Sell it twice then...

Sell it twice then...

But that would be dishonest
