The Tailwell 2 Tail Trimmer is a cordless drill attachment used to quickly and effectively trim the tail hair of dairy cattle. An alternative to tail docking, trimming with the Tailwell 2 keeps the udder cleaner to reduce milk prep time. Circular blades trim tail hair all the way up the tail with no pre-cutting. The inner cutter doesn't move and won't cut the animal. Simply push long hair aside and feed the tail stump into the Tailwell 2. The outer cutter oscillates only 18 degrees and will safely chew through hair, even if matted. The Tailwell 2 has only three moving parts, so needs very little maintenance. Each trim takes only seconds and lasts about a year.
The Tailwell 2 requires a power drill (not included) for operation. The recommendation is a fairly lightweight 18-volt drill operating at 1200 to 1800 rpm. An average cordless drill battery should allow the trimming of 50 tails per charge.
