The Prattley 3-Way Drafters are designed for efficient sheep handling with the convenience of electric motor operation powered by a 12 V battery, providing a full day of functionality on a single charge. The innovative design eliminates the need for separate left and right-handed crates, simplifying the drafting process.
Key Features:
- Vertical Rollers: The rear gates feature vertical rollers, allowing them to smoothly roll around the sheep as they close, preventing any entanglement for following sheep.
- Optional Wheel Kit: A mobility kit is available, making it easy to transport the drafter as needed.
Drafting Modes:
- Full Auto Drafting Mode:
- Automatically manages 2-way and 3-way drafting.
- As sheep enter the weigh crate, the back gates close automatically once weight is detected on the platform.
- The system automatically selects the appropriate gate to open once the sheep exits, resetting for the next entry.
- Remote override is available for manual control.
- Auto Drafting by Remote:
- Similar capabilities for 2-way and 3-way drafting.
- Control the back gate’s operation using a remote: open the gate for entry and close it once a sheep is inside the crate.
- The system will automatically determine which gate to open after the sheep exits, allowing for manual adjustments as needed.
These features make the Prattley 3-Way Drafters a versatile and user-friendly solution for sheep management.
