If you're looking to take the labour out of weighing and drafting day without sacrificing accuracy or throughput, the Prattley 3 Way Sheep Auto Drafter with Swing Gate is built for exactly that. One operator can set up, run, and shift the entire unit without needing a second person on the job. At around 39kg for the crate only, it's light enough to move around without making a project of it, and the ambidextrous design means it works with left or right hand entry depending on how your yards are set up.
Prattley 3 Way Sheep Auto Drafter - Swing Gate Manual
The swing gate design gives you smooth and reliable 3 way drafting in a unit that's practical to use day to day. The lightweight aluminium construction keeps the overall weight down while maintaining the strength you need for a working farm environment. One of the more thoughtful details in the design is that it keeps the operator out of the sheep's direct line of vision during the drafting process, which reduces animal stress and keeps the mob moving more consistently through the race.
The auto drafter runs on compressed air, with a recommended minimum air compressor size of 2HP with a 20 litre tank. The load bars and indicator are sold separately, so if you're already running a compatible weighing setup on your property there's a good chance this drafter will integrate with what you've already got. For those who need to move the unit around regularly, an optional mobility kit is available to make shifting it between locations even more straightforward.
The ambidextrous design is a genuinely useful feature if you're setting this up in different yards or at different properties throughout the year. Being able to configure it for left or right hand entry means you're not locked into one yard layout, and the practical overall design means getting it set up and operational doesn't take long once you're on site. Whether you're running it as a permanent fixture in your main yards or moving it around as needed, it adapts to how you work rather than the other way around.
