The Prattley Auto Drafter coordinates with a Tru-Test weighing Indicator and loadbars to produce a seamless package. The Rear gates have vertical rollers which allow the gates to roll around sheep as they close and allow the following sheep to pull back without getting caught. The New design eliminates the need to have left or right-hand operation.

Efficiency
“It’s amazing the efficiency that you can get out of a unit if it is set-up right and utilises the right kit,”
“Obviously I’m a fan of Prattley but I also own a 20-year-old Prattley unit that has handled a million sheep during its lifetime, and is still fully operational.
Potterton also believes that farmers should adopt the approach of world-renowned animal behaviouralist, Temple Grandin, to appreciate the value of Prattley’s design.
