FELCO 50/3 - Replacement Blade (Hoof Shears)

FELCO 50/3 Replacement Blade (Hoof Shears)

The FELCO 50/3 is a genuine replacement cutting blade specifically engineered for the FELCO 50 and FELCO 51 specialized hoof shears. Unlike standard garden blades, this part is designed to meet the rigorous demands of caprine and ovine husbandry, providing the surgical precision necessary for trimming goat and sheep hooves. Crafted from premium Swiss hardened steel, the blade is heat-treated to maintain a razor-sharp edge even when working with the tough, abrasive material of a hoof. Replacing a dull or nicked blade with this original part ensures clean, quick cuts that reduce the risk of injury to the animal and minimize hand fatigue for the farmer.

Best For Livestock farmers, veterinarians, and shearers using the FELCO 50 (Standard Hoof Shears) or FELCO 51 (Rotating Handle Hoof Shears) who require a high-performance edge for animal maintenance.

Key Features

• Specialized Hardened Steel: Manufactured from high-carbon steel with a specific hardening process to withstand the unique wear patterns associated with hoof trimming.

• Precision Bypass Geometry: Optimized for the FELCO 50 and 51 frames, ensuring a smooth, clean bypass action that prevents crushing or tearing of the hoof wall.

• Corrosion Protection: Features a protective coating to resist the effects of moisture and organic acids found in farm environments, preventing rust and maintaining tool longevity.

• Reduced Effort: The razor-sharp factory edge allows for effortless trimming, which is critical when managing large herds or working with uncooperative animals.

• Direct Factory Fit: Engineered for a perfect swap; simply remove the center bolt to replace the blade and restore the original mechanical efficiency of your shears.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
