Portasol 3 Tip Cordless Gas Dehorner for Livestock
Description
Portasol Dehorner 3 Tip - Cordless Gas Disbudding Iron
The Portasol Dehorner 3 Tip is a gas-powered, cordless dehorning iron supplied with three interchangeable tips. It is made for livestock farmers, smallholders and stock handlers who need to disbud young stock in a crush, pen or field without mains electricity, a generator or a trailing cable.
Best for anyone working away from a power point: the gas heat source means the tool travels with you, and the three-tip system lets you match the head to the size of the bud being treated. You will find it alongside our other yard and stock equipment in the stable and yard equipment collection.
