Longhorn 3.2 12 V sheep shearing kit

Description

A full shearing kit that runs off a 12 V battery, so you can shear where there's no mains power. Clip it to the jeep's battery without the engine running, or to a spare battery. The maker says it has shorn over 300 sheep from one spare Land Rover battery before recharging. Shearing off the jeep, start the engine for about 15 minutes every two to three hours to top up the battery. With Longhorn's transformer (sold separately) it also runs off the mains.

The permanent-magnet motor turns at 3,200 rpm. The EasyDrive adjustable drive shaft (1.8 m, 19 mm fitting) clamps on, and the inner drive connects itself.

In the kit: the Longhorn 3.2 machine, EasyDrive drive shaft, handpiece, 3 Longhorn 94 mm wide combs and 6 cutters, a bracket adapter, a ferrule, 250 ml of Longhorn shearing oil and a screwdriver.

Mount the machine securely with the drive shaft end clear of the floor. Connect black to negative first, then red to positive, with the machine off, and take red off first when you finish. Keep flames away from the battery, don't use a damaged or leaking battery or damaged leads, and don't pull the leads off while it's running. Oil the drive shaft every 4 hours of use. It's made for sheep, goats, alpacas and llamas.
