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.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
