Description
Shoof Mk2 Tail Trimmer Drill Attachment
Trim dairy cow tails quickly, safely and efficiently with the Shoof Mk2 Tail Trimmer Drill Attachment.
The Shoof Mk2 Tail Trimmer Drill Attachment is designed to make one of the most time-consuming jobs on a dairy farm faster, cleaner and more convenient. Suitable for use with most 14V or higher cordless drills operating at approximately 1,000rpm, this innovative attachment enables you to trim cow tails in as little as 3–4 seconds per animal, making it ideal for use during milking routines.
Engineered for safe, efficient performance, the Shoof Mk2 features a fixed inner blade with an oscillating outer blade, delivering a smooth cutting action without exposing sharp rotating blades. This design significantly reduces the risk of injury to both livestock and the operator while producing a neat, consistent trim every time.
The integrated neck strap allows the trimmer to hang comfortably between cows, keeping your hands free and improving workflow throughout the milking parlour. Even heavily soiled tail switches can be trimmed without the need for pre-cutting, saving valuable time during busy periods.

How It Works
The Shoof Mk2 Tail Trimmer securely fits into the chuck of a compatible cordless drill. Once operating, the outer blade oscillates across a fixed inner blade to cut hair quickly and efficiently without exposed spinning cutters.
