PERKINZ 6-Stand ShearMaster 2026

Описание: Another Perkinz ShearMaster up and running in New South Wales (Australia). An old wool shed that was past its use by date, was gutted out and the drag across the board system was replaced with a race delivery system.

Why Farmers Are Choosing the ShearMaster
Save Time – Dragging sheep from a catching pen is wasted time — for the shearer, the rousie, and you. The ShearMaster removes this inefficiency. Farmers consistently report increased shearing tallies and shorter shearing days. That’s less time coordinating staff and more time getting on with other work.
As my father used to say, “It’s great to see the shearers come — even better to see them go!”
Save Space – The ShearMaster eliminates traditional catching pens and instead uses our proven CrutchMaster style loading race. Each stand requires just 2 metres of space. A 5-stand setup fits into only 10 metres — meaning you can install more stands in your existing shed or build a smaller, more cost-effective new one.
Save Money – The ShearMaster costs less than a traditional board and allows for a smaller shed design or a smarter reconfiguration of your current one. Because it boosts shearing efficiency, you can reduce your time spent in the shed — potentially saving on staff wages too.
Save Energy – If you’ve dragged sheep before, you know how physically demanding it is. With the ShearMaster, the sheep are tipped straight from the race into position — no catching, no dragging, just smart, gravity assisted handling.
Save Risk – The ShearMaster lowers risk in multiple ways:

It requires less upfront capital than a traditional shearing shed.
It aligns with future health & safety expectations — especially as shearers push back against dragging 70kg+ sheep.
It’s a mobile asset. If your farming direction changes, you’re not stuck with a half-million-dollar shed. Just forklift it out and sell it on.
Dual Purpose Flexibility – With minimal adjustment, the ShearMaster converts into a CrutchMaster upright crutching platform. Perfect for fast, safe ewe and lamb crutching. Future proofed design also allows for easy add ons like upright shearing platforms or Bio-Peel wool harvesting systems.
Designed by a Shearer – Yes, it’s engineered to last but more importantly, it’s designed by someone who’s actually shore sheep. That’s why sheep face the shearer in the race, making them easier to tip out with no twisting or dragging.
