Cattle clippers

[6r 185]

Looking for some new cordless cattle clippers what make do people recommend, for use on beef cattle,? cheers

 

[An Gof]

Heiniger Explorer here. Is there anything else that comes close to Heiniger quality?

 

[Shep]

Shear cordless here, not a fancy brand but the best clippers I've ever had including heiniger.
Must use the same battery as Milwaukee, because there is a port on my Milwaukee charger that takes the shear cordless battery.

I don't know if Heiniger Explorers would be strong enough for hairy beef cattle. I use mine for trimming tails and udders, they struggle with body hair. There is the Horner Razor which people say are good. They have a shearing head which should go through longer hair.

This 100%

Make sure you get a set with 2 batteries, much cheaper to get the extra battery as part of a set than on its own later.

If they’re very dirty and matted, sheep clippers might be a better bet. But otherwise the Heiniger will cope easily. I’v 4 sets of blades, with dirtier cattle I just put the coursest ones on.

Heiniger explorer are the only good ones. You've got make sure you've got plenty sharp blades and get it tensioned right using the 8 o clock rule. And oil it very regular. Otherwise you will burn motor out or won't be able to clip thicker body hair.

Otherwise works an absolute dream on tails and udders.

We bought a clipster set with two batteries from George Mudge £220 last week, have used them to dag some lambs and just been clipping the backs and tails of some bullocks, they seem OK for the money

I bought a set of Master clip with the sheep dagging blades. Excellent for clipping beef cattle backs and milking cow tails. Switch broke and batteries cover needed replaced after 3 years (lots of abuse and falls) so returned to masterclip and they were VERY reasonable to fix. Lovely people to deal with.
Previously had a set of cordless Heiniger. When they broke, they went into the bin. Too expensive to fix.

Had a set of the older heiniger cordless ones here and I thought they were sh1te, got a set of masterclip with the dagging/sheep head and it was the difference between night and day, cheaper also

Getting increasingly fed up with the reliability of our shear cordless..
They work well but I wouldn't buy them again

Not cordless but if you are near enough to mains elct. and can handle the cord a Rambo mains from Willy Horner is a good motor in handpiece clipper very reliable , and no battery to worry about charging ,you would not regret buying one i reckon.
24v at the handpiece and cord to the 'stepdown box' so safer if that part of the cord is cut/there is a short ... not like 240v
....and 24v is more powerfull than 12v or 18 ...as well.

I have a GEA branded Aesculap. Does the job but I haven't tried anything else. Nice lightweight but the battery doesn't do all that long. No problem really as I only do tails with them. Udders are flamed and I never clipped a cow in my life, the cattlebrush does that job.

Sheep clippers can’t get away with cattle clippers

 

[zyklon]

Anyone use the Ergo Pro clipper and if so what’s your thought?

I need to order one tomorrow and not sure between it the Ergo or the Clipster for dirty cow tails.

Have a cordless Heiniger Xplorer but tails have to be dry and cleaner the better. Will be using both to speed things up.

I have clipster and as long as they are Sharp they are good
Seem to have a good battery life .

Should probably ask what are people using for clipper oil these days? I find the spray tins are terrible, thinking of using some hydraulic oil me dad keeps saying diesel but feel that's old school asfk
