Specs

  • 110 volt.
  • Quieter. Less motor "whine", kind to your ears and less likely to upset animals.
  • Permanent rare-earth magnet motor enable more torque (power) and require less space and weight than ordinary motors.Less heat is produced by the permanent magnet motor and the fan forces air forward through our heads- so the heads run 20 degrees F cooler.
  • Up to 20% shorter in length than other motors.
  • Weighs up to 15% less than other motors.
  • Smaller grip than other motors.
  • Sleek, low-profile ribs makes it easier to grip the tension knob.
  • Shorter tension bolt equals fewer turns needed to reset tension, so you spend less time changing and tensioning blades.
  • Internal roller bearings instead of bushings (less heat, less wear and greater longevity).
  • Stainless steel inserts that are riveted in reduce the possibility of the inserts becoming loose.
  • Round steel drive in place of a plastic bushing makes fitting the top blade easier.
  • Includes 2 screws for attaching to motor.
  • Motor has a 16 ft electrical cord.
  • Only 3 minutes to change a clipper head to shear head (order under "Accessories" tab above).
  • Will drive Premier and Lister clipper blades.

Benefits

  • Rarely slows down under load.

Installation

See PDF above for tensioning and oiling instructions.

Precautions

We are no longer converting machines to 220v.

Failure to oil as often as recommended may lead to excess heat and premature wear and tear.

Warning: Unlike some other clipper motors, this motor will neither slow down nor sound different when oil is needed. But failure to oil will quickly cause damage to the blades and drive head. So you MUST apply oil by time instead of sound. Apply a small amount of oil every 3 minutes to the tips of the teeth and each side of the blade by dipping them into a dish of oil or pouring oil directly onto the teeth with a small oil container and every 10 minutes drip oil into the small hole behind the tension knob assembly. Excessive wear can occur if not oiled properly!

Warranty

Covers all labor and parts for 3 years from the date of purchase.
2 years longer than any competing unit. Warranty includes shipping to and from Premier by UPS ground (via a $12 freight reimbursement on a Premier machine under warranty). With the exceptions of abuse (i.e. dropping it) and neglect (failure to oil frequently enough).

The Horse Journal recommended these clippers, so I thought I would try them. LOVE THEM! After using the Heavy Oster clippers, I could not believe what I had been missing. The shipping was very fast too. Wonderful clippers and a great warranty. Body clipping my horse was so much easier with these clippers!

We just purchasd the Premier 4000C clippers for our children who are beginning to show 4H and open shows. They are so easy for the kids to handle since they are lightweight and stay cool while running. Our daughter is able to slick shear her show lambs all by herself, which is less work for mom & dad. We absolutely love these clippers!!!

My 10 year old who runs our Nigerian Dwarf show/dairy breeding business here at Flying G Farm was so excited to receive the clippers. We researched them and expected them to be the best. We bought them after borrowing my sister's clippers, which broke before the first goat was finished. I was glad to hear from Sara at Premier that the Premier clippers did not require a blade wash or oil bath. I was surprised how well our 2 does did with the clipping process, and it seemed hard to nick them. The large clippers were a little unwieldy on the head area, and around the lower legs, but perhaps a good grooming table to properly restrain the animals will help for this. It was so fun to clip, that I am sure we will be clipping all the other goats just for fun. Besides, it keeps them cool in the heat and prevents lice, and we will each get to have our turn with the clipper. The clippers were no problem to oil and use, except we might like the premier oil bottle to have a narrow tip to fit the oil hole. We had to use W D 40 with the red straw attached to oil the gears. The on off switch shuts off by itself sometimes, but it is important to have the switch handy, as it is better for the blades if the clipper is off. I think we will use earplugs with the clippers, but might check w/ customer service and make sure everything sounds all right, and that I have the tension adjusted right.

We've always had someone shear our 19 Llamas but this year our shearer was sick. After talking with others about what they recommended, the Premier 4000C Clippers were mentioned several times. We purchased these clippers and they have met my needs perfectly. They are much lighter in weight than other clippers and the blades are very easy to change out. I guess you'd call them "user friendly" clippers. The online instructional video was also very helpful. I would highly recommend this product!

I bought this as a gift for my sister who has a couple of llamas and some sheep. She loves it and it does exactly what she needs it to do - keep the animals cool in the Texas heat. She did note that it would be helpful to have an extra set of blades as it speeds up getting things done.

Love this clipper! Lightweight, easy to hold, quiet and cool running. Best of all it doesn't blow the hair in your face during the clipping process!

I purchased these clippers to replace my Lister Stars. I use them to shear twenty head of ewes twice a year, as well as numerous show lambs. I absolutely love them and would recommend them to anyone who wants a smooth shearing clippers that do not overheat or need to be pampered throughout the shearing. They stayed cool to the touch throughout the shearing. I thought that they were very affordable and I appreciated the quality of the case that came with them. I would caution the buyer to make sure that they have a light oil to use on these clippers.

We bought these as our two boys are just getting into showing many animals in 4-h. We trimmed pigs, sheep, & beef calves. We also plan on getting the shear head for our show lambs next year and would like to use it next spring to shear our old llama who has not ever been sheared. (this should be fun) We will have many more years of clipping and shearing comming up and they were awesome this year and did everything I needed it too! Thank you The product is pricey..but i've used other products when I showed in 4-h and they weren't anywhere as good as this. We could stop every 15 to 20 min to oil..and not because they were too hot to hold.

I have used Osters all my life for clipping horses but started looking for a new set of clippers when I inherited a filthy, matted alpaca. I went with the clippers because I still have horses that I clip and wanted a dual purpose machine. These clippers are great! They are much lighter than my Osters and after an hour of clipping through three years worth of dirt and matted hair, they were still very cool. If I had more than one sheep or alpaca, I would spring for the shear head but the coarse blades worked fine for the one (though because of the awful condition of his coat, it looks like the chipmunks have been chewing on him!) All in all, I am very impressed with these clippers and their performance. My only complaint is they are really loud, maybe more so than my Osters but I haven't done a side by side comparison. However, the lighter weight and cooler running motor are way nicer so I will never go back to the other brand.

I just clipped the first horse with my Premier 4000c clippers. They worked fantastic. The blades sliced through the hair like butter - and oh so fast. Of course my horse was clean and the blades new... One suggestion for improvement is to shorten the clippers so that you can do the horses' coronet band easily - that way you can do the entire horse with one pair of clippers.

We have been very pleased with our Premier 1 clippers. We slick shear 10-12 head of sheep every year and have had no problems whatsoever.

Ilove these clippers! I have a 16.3 hand horse and my friend has an 18 hand horse (yes- huge and daunting task to clip this guy in particular)... These clippers helped us do the job quickly, smoothly and efficiently! Many compliments received on the fine clipping job and it took much less time than with the Oster clippers! I have only had them a short while and only used them on these 2 horses, but no problems so far, and I don't expect any since I know someone who has had her premier 1 clippers for years with no problems!

I love my Premier clippers. I've used them to slick shear probably 10 lambs a year and have never had a single problem with them. They're powerful, cool, and light. MUCH better than the old Oster Clipmasters I used to use.
