Cordless FarmClipper Shearing Machine for Sheep To whom do we recommend this clipper? The FarmClipper Akku2 is particularly interesting if you are primarily looking for the

The FarmClipper Akku2 is a battery-powered clipper designed primarily for sheep shearing and some clipping tasks on cattle. Without a power cable, it offers great freedom of movement and allows for easy work in livestock buildings, in the field, during care, or anywhere access to an electrical outlet is complicated. With its 14.4 V power supply, its two provided lithium-ion batteries, and its 13/4 tooth comb set, it offers an interesting solution for the farmer looking for a functional, mobile, and affordable clipper for occasional to regular use. It is important to correctly position this model: the FarmClipper Akku2 is in a lower range than our professional Heiniger and Aesculap clippers. It represents a more accessible alternative for users who do not need the level of power, endurance, and robustness of a professional machine intended for intensive shearing.

A clipper specially adapted for sheep

The FarmClipper Akku2 is originally equipped with a 13/4 tooth comb set, a configuration suitable for sheep shearing. Its design allows working directly in the breeding environment without having to pull an extension cord or stay near an electrical outlet. This lack of cable brings real comfort, especially when moving around the animal. The machine can thus be used for different tasks:

• Shearing sheep;
• Occasional herd maintenance;
• Shearing before certain care or interventions;
• Tasks requiring great freedom of movement;
• Some specific applications on cattle;
• Use in buildings or areas without a nearby electrical outlet.

Up to 90 minutes of autonomy

The FarmClipper Akku2 operates with a 14.4 V lithium-ion battery offering up to 90 minutes of operation, depending on usage conditions. This autonomy is particularly interesting for occasional interventions and small to medium shearing tasks. But its main advantage especially lies in its equipment: two batteries are provided with the clipper. When the first battery is running low, simply replace it with the second one. This allows significantly extending the available work period and avoids a single battery systematically limiting the shearing session.

Two included batteries for more continuity

Having two batteries directly available is a real advantage in the field. While working with one battery, the second can be kept ready for use. This configuration is much more comfortable than a clipper delivered with a single battery, especially when several animals need to be sheared successively. The batteries use modern lithium-ion technology, designed to provide energy consistently and without memory effect. For the farmer, this means above all a machine that can be easily taken along and used without special setup.

True freedom of movement thanks to wireless operation

When shearing a sheep, the cable of a traditional clipper can quickly become cumbersome. You have to monitor its position, avoid the animal stepping on it, and have an electrical outlet close enough. With the FarmClipper Akku2, this constraint disappears. The clipper naturally follows the user's movements. You can move around the animal and change your position without constantly managing the power cable. It is also an advantage in agricultural buildings where electrical outlets are not always located near the work area.

An ergonomic design to minimize fatigue

The FarmClipper Akku2 has a relatively slender shape and a weight distribution designed to offer a comfortable grip. This aspect is important during shearing: the movements are numerous and repetitive, and a poorly balanced machine can quickly strain the wrist and forearm. Its cordless format also provides more flexibility in changing positions.

13/4 tooth comb set provided

The clipper is directly equipped with a set consisting of a 13-tooth comb and a 4-tooth counter comb. This configuration is intended for sheep shearing and allows the machine to be operational without having to immediately purchase an additional set of blades. As with any animal clipper, the quality of the cut, however, heavily depends on the condition of the blade set. A properly sharpened blade requires less effort from the machine and results in a more consistent cut. **Think about sharpening your blades** Over the course of shearing, blades gradually lose their sharpness. Continuing to work with a dull set can lead to decreased performance, increased heating, and less pleasant shearing. **Terwagne-Élevage has its own sharpening workshop for animal clipper blades and combs.** You can therefore entrust us with your blade sets when they need resharpening to extend their usage and maintain proper cutting quality. ## FarmClipper Akku2 or professional Heiniger/Aesculap? The FarmClipper Akku2 should not be presented as the direct equivalent of a **professional Heiniger or Aesculap**. These brands are our standard for users who are looking for a machine intended for **professional, frequent, or intensive use**, with higher demands in terms of power, robustness, longevity, and work capacity. The FarmClipper Akku2 is deliberately positioned **a notch below these professional machines**. This does not mean it does not fulfill its role properly. It simply meets a different need. **We recommend the FarmClipper Akku2** to the breeder who wants a practical cordless machine for a reasonable number of animals, occasional shearing, or occasional interventions. **We rather recommend Heiniger or Aesculap** to users who shear many animals, work regularly with their clipper, or are looking for a professional machine capable of withstanding more intensive use in the long term. This distinction allows choosing the clipper according to actual use rather than unnecessarily oversizing your equipment. ## A particularly interesting solution for small and medium-sized farms The FarmClipper Akku2 naturally finds its place in **small and medium-sized sheep farms**, but also as an additional machine in a farm. Its simplicity and battery operation are particularly interesting when you need to be able to intervene quickly on an animal without setting up a complete shearing installation. It can also be a good first machine for the breeder who wants to perform some shearings themselves without directly investing in a high-end professional clipper. ## The main advantages of the FarmClipper Akku2 - Cordless clipper specially adapted for **sheep** - Also usable for some specific applications on **cattle** - **14.4 V** power supply - Up to **90 minutes of battery life per battery**, depending on usage conditions - **2 lithium-ion batteries included** - Possibility to alternate batteries to extend working time - **13/4 tooth blade set included** - Great freedom of movement thanks to the absence of a cable - Slim shape and balanced weight - Usable in buildings without nearby electrical supply - More accessible positioning than a professional clipper - Particularly suitable for **occasional to regular use** - Blades can be maintained and sharpened in our workshop ## Technical specifications | Feature | FarmClipper Akku2 | |------------------------------|---------------------------| | **Reference** | 18262 | | **Voltage** | 14.4 V | | **Power** | 45 W | | **Number of oscillations** | Approximately 2,300 rpm | | **Battery type** | Li-ion | | **Battery capacity** | 2,500 mAh | | **Battery life** | Up to 90 minutes | | **Charging time** | Approximately 90 minutes | | **Number of batteries included** | 2 | | **Blade set included** | 13/4 teeth | Dimensions 28.5 × 8 × 8 cm
