That sounds like a trip to a and e. Buy yourself a cordless grinder, it has a multitude of sins to work at,same make as your drill and you only have to buy body only

Or just buy a cheap mains grinder and keep it for the job.

I have a 9 inch and a mini grinder but its the bother of havin to roll out an extension lead each time and then it be covered in shite when ye go to roll it up again

If you are doing a few cows you will need more than one battery with one constantly on charge. They warm up and that slows charging. I gave up on battery grinder for this reason.

Milk prices will be good in the medium to long term. Or something along those lines!

I have built myself up to 5 batteries now so there isn't much you cant do, the Dewalt stuff is good, I have a grinder, hammer drill (large & small), battery screwdriver, impactor, rip saw & chain saw. Next on the list is a grease gun.

Just watch the fingers, hands & arms whatever way you do it.

And then clear a few bills.

Go electric. Takes it to have the grunt. Run a semi permanent lead and socket to just above your crush so it's clean. Wire a longer lead on your new grinder if the one it comes with is too short. Like ten foot.

 

[Davy]

Have a socket above the crush but havent used it since I got a cordless grinder. A 5ah battery trims a lot of feet. No point in using a smaller battery for a grinder, they like a lot of juice.

 

[daveydiesel1]

Iv a new foot crush comin but intend to shift it around as have 2 yards and will use it at exit of parlour aswel as crush so permanent socket isnt really practical

No take much to wire in 3 permanent/semi permanent/ bodged sockets. Get away to screwfix int morning sorted!
