Just wondered if mains shearers are any good for dagging and crutching.
I have a contractor do the full works, but it would be handy to be able to tidy the odd one up when required.

Whats your thoughts and have you tried any good reasonable priced machines?

Hi,

You could try Horner shearing http://www.hornershearing.com/index.html have a look and see what suits you, if you are only crutching a few then the Horner Rambo mains would be good although they have a motor in handpiece machine for sale at £130 which might be better.

Thanks,
Philip

Hi there - I was looking for something else and came across these
Clippers £264+vat
I have no idea if they are good, but someone else on the site might be able to give a considered opinion

Also have you thought about having a word with the people who sharpen shears and trimmers (wish I could remember their name) but they are on the road between Leominster and Bromyard.  They are really helpful, and I have had good service from them for sharpening my hedge trimmers etc, though they mostly deal with horse/sheep type machines

They are on the left from Leominster probably about 5-6-7 miles towards Bromyard.  If I go past in the next week or to I will stop and make a note of their name and number as they have a roadside sign up

All the best
Sue

Thats great thankyou all.

Might get some like Worzels just for dagging or taking the wool off before they start dirtying it.
