I bought an Ergo Pro Master clippers that runs on a charged battery from clippersIreland website and it works great. The 2 hour battery is a must add on. No complaints really other than cleaning can be a bit difficult. I use it to shave the backs for pour on and cut all the hair of tails at housing. Also works great for tidying up old cows udders before they calve.

I think they're like the ride on lawnmowers, same machine with different stickers, I bought one from Connacht agri, very same as that, same price an'all, just different name.
Lovely handy shears

I have a liscop and it's impossible to get them sharpened correctly. Had new ones sharpened by so called professionals and they never cut right after. This happened a few times and at e50 a pop, sorry I got it. I would only get a really coarse one. Plenty good for tails and backs.

The one that looks like the sheep cutter and comb would be the one I'd be getting.

I used to to use the sheep shears for the cattle here, worked grand, the machines with the finer blades are more for the show scene I'd say, the vets use them for ceasareans too

How often do they need to be sharpened? Could You do it Yourself?
