Corded or cordless clippers

I’d go cordless, you may need the battery fully charged before a job but you don’t need extensions or cables catching

have both, had cord for years but bought cordless lately and agree with other comments cordless night and day

most have offering 2 battery options and starting with both batteries fully charged , should get a good long session if needed

What would the weight of the cordless clippers be like. We use a set of sheep clippers to do the cows backs. Awkward enough with the lead on it.

Cordless all the way. You get two batteries & one blade normally. I got an extra blade thrown in for free. No issues at all.

don't have it long enough to recommend one way or the other but bought a clipster on offer from arrabawn , my son used it for clipping backs, neck and tails of weanlings , and I was using a corded along side of him , it was well able to match the corded , used it for about 2 hours stopping to load the crush and was still on first battery , also used it to dag/ tidy up some factory lambs and it done it no problem

My shearer uses one similar to this for small flocks, carries the battery on the belt, will shear for up to 50 sheep on a charge.

I've a battery shears and find it very awkward, don't know how any one would shear a full sheep with it.

I’d advise you get a RCD. @Base price advised it for when working with cattle

I always use the RCD plug like the one above, every time I use electric equipment outdoors. Safety first.

Sounds like nicad batteries maybe? Lithium does away with all them problems.

I have a Masterclip Outback find it a good machine

If your going corded you need to run a lead overhead your crush running through rings on a tightened line. You can then clip full length of race and keep your leads out of any water/dirt.

Get blades sharpened by local lad who does them for guys sheep shearing, just ask any guy who shears sheep.
