It will attach to any portable yard system.
This Racewell-branded drafter uses the maker’s ‘magic eye’ and radio remote-control technology, giving “flexible set-up and handling simultaneous weighing and drafting with ease”.
“The four-button radio remote control operates every function of the handler; the ‘magic eye’ optical sensors control the opening and closing of the gates, allowing flexible positioning.”
Te Pari says if the user needs to interrupt the auto cycle for any reason, he simply puts the machine into ‘hold’ mode, checks or tags the animal, releases it, then resumes auto-drafting with the touch of a button.
The design includes a strong steel frame. Plastic guards cover the working areas, keeping electronics and wires hidden and out of harm’s way. The guards give modern clean lines and are easily removed for service.
A notable feature is the integration of weigh cells into the main frame. This keeps the weigh cells and electronics above the animals and well away from any dirt build-up around the bottom of the machine where load cells are traditionally located. And because the weigh cells are integrated into the machine, a set of standard load bars is not required.
Says Te Pari, “the flow of the sheep is also enhanced and the open crate design allows in plenty of external light so the sheep won’t suffer from a closed-in feeling. The quiet, fast-acting entry and exit gates on the machine also minimise animals’ stress.”
