Innovation takes centre stage at Fieldays 2025 awards event
Hosted by ginger dynamo Te Radar, the Fieldays Innovation Award Winners Event put the spotlight on the agricultural industry's most promising ideas.
The brushless motor means the battery lasts longer, offering the ability to crutch up to 400 sheep from a single charge.
The design features a traditional Lister handpiece barrel with a direct drive brushless motor attached to the rear, making it slim to hold and familiar for anyone, takes all standard combs & cutters of any brand, while the sealed unit is robust and easy care. Portable, with no power or shed to be used, the unit is quick to set up and noticeably quiet to use.
Offering convenience to keep on top of those dirty jobs, with resultant improved animal health, lifestyle shearers can use an optional customised cable to allow greater reach down the long blows and between the sheep legs.
The Handypiece Pro has the added feature of variable speed from 2600 – 3500rpm, typically being used at a mid-speed of around 2800rpm for dagging, crutching and trimming cows’ tails, while anyone requiring a better cut can wind it all the way up to 3500rpm.
The device also allows alpaca shearers to use a traditional handpiece that is slim to hold, with the advantage of being able to reduce the speed to the same as a clipper.
