Heiniger Xtra 230V/320W Sheep Shearing Machine

The Heiniger Xtra 230V/320W Sheep Shearing Machine (model 712‑600) is engineered for demanding sheep shearing tasks, delivering robust power and ergonomic handling for extended use. Featuring a strong 320 W motor and a patented floating fork shearing system, this machine ensures even pressure distribution across the comb and cutter for smoother clipping and reduced wear on components. Its durable design and thermal overload protection make it suitable for professional shearers, livestock farmers, and agricultural operations requiring consistent performance through thick, dirty, or felted wool. The machine connects directly to mains power (230 V), offering continuous operation without battery limitations. It is typically supplied with essential accessories like shearing blades, oil, and a cleaning brush, ready for immediate use.
