Tail Trimmer Tailwell Titanium complete

Introducing the Tailwell Power Tail Trimmer – a revolutionary solution for dairy farmers seeking efficiency and ease in maintaining their herd's hygiene and health. Developed in the scenic landscapes of New Zealand, Tailwell is designed to streamline the tedious task of trimming cow tails, providing a quick and easy solution for farmers.

Tailwell makes tail trimming a breeze with its effortless operation. The trimmer can efficiently trim a single tail in just ten seconds, ensuring a swift and precise process. Designed with the busy farmer in mind, Tailwell allows for herd tail trimming during regular milking sessions, taking only seconds per cow. Experience the remarkable transformation in your herd's appearance and health with minimal effort.

Compatibility and ease of use are at the forefront of Tailwell's design. While the trimmer will fit most power drills, an 14-volt drill operating at 1200 to 1800rpm is the ideal choice. With only three moving parts, Tailwell requires minimal maintenance, allowing farmers to focus on the well-being of their cows rather than tool upkeep.

Crafted with high-quality stainless-steel components, Tailwell is a sturdy precision tool built to withstand considerable use. Its robust design ensures longevity, making it a reliable companion for the demanding needs of a dairy farm. Beyond durability, Tailwell contributes to the health and hygiene of both cows and milking staff.

Regular tail trimming with Tailwell significantly reduces faecal and urine contamination of milk in the vat. This not only enhances milk cleanliness but also contributes to the overall health and hygiene of the herd. Implementing the recommended twice-yearly tail trimming routine ensures the safety of staff and guarantees the maintenance of the highest milk quality.

The standard Tailwell tail trimmer has been a big success around the world, but different problems occur on farms with large herds, or where cows are bedded on sand. In these cases, cutter wear is an issue. We have now produced an optional model, Tailwell TITANIUM. This has a titanium-nitride (TiN)-coated cutter set. (Gold coloured.) This should be good for 5,000-6,000 clean (non-sand-contaminated) tails, or up to 3,000 sand contaminated tails. The TITANIUM cutter set cannot be sharpened. (In fact attempting sharpening will be counterproductive.) Honing paste is not supplied in this kit.

NB: Replacement titanium-coated cutter sets are available. These can also be fitted to standard-model Tailwells.

Tailwell has only three moving parts. Of these, only one - the self-lubricating sliding-block Rotator Bearing - is subject to any wear. The reduction in moving parts has resulted in a cutting machine that draws the minimum amount of power, ensuring the maximum number of tails are cut from each charge.

Tailwell should be used on a 14 volt cordless power drill, with an operating speed of 1,200 to 1,750rpm. (Higher or lower drill speeds do not cut better, and may damage the machine, voiding any warranty.) A lightweight drill with a high quality battery is the best to use. A quality Li-ion 1.5Amh 14v drill battery should allow trimming of about 70 tails per charge, depending on conditions. The Tailwell is simply placed through the flexible drill sleeve, and the chuck tightened firmly on the drive shaft. The drill sleeve is then pulled back firmly onto the drill body to prevent any rotation of the machine. The bungee cord is then put around the back of the drill and pulled firm. This part is for safety only, to prevent the Tailwell dropping off the drill if the chuck becomes loose.

If tails are not contaminated by sand, the cutters should stay sharp for more than 2,000 tails (depending on conditions). Sharpening the cutters is easily done by inexperienced users. The cutters are removed by opening the drive case. (Tools are supplied for this.) Honing paste is then applied to the cutter faces and they are 'ground' together by hand. This process should take only a few minutes. Instructions are supplied. Most important is regular and frequent lubrication of the cutters. Special oil is supplied in the kit. Tailwell Cutter Lubricant has been formulated specially for this purpose. It is a non-throw, non-dust-gathering light oil which will not 'clog' the cutters. We strongly recommend continued use of this lubricant, available from your Tailwell stockist. Lubricant should be used sparingly but frequently on the cutter tips - every 30-40 tails (or more frequently with sand contamination).

If cutting performance drops, the cutter tension should be adjusted promptly, before hair becomes trapped between them. This is achieved using the three finger-only screws at the back of the cutter head. Follow instructions supplied. Cutters must be kept correctly tensioned at all times to ensure correct cutting performance and cutter life. We strongly recommend viewing in full the videos on our website, before first use of your machine.
