Product Details
The Premier 4000c is a delight to use. Same blade speed as the Lister® Stablemate™ but rare-earth permanent magnet motor delivers far more torque (power) to the blades.
Key Features:
- Lightweight & maneuverable
- 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°F cooler.
- Interchangeable head. Instantly switch from a clipper head to a shear head.
Benefits
- Rarely slows down under load
- Plows through fiber
- Motor is smaller in size, lighter in weight and shorter in length than any other large clipper
- Shorter tension bolt equals fewer turns needed to reset tension so you spend less time changing and tensioning blades.
- Change the clipper head to a shear head in minutes. Drives a shear head with equal power.
- Both Premier and Lister® clipper blades can be used with the Premier 4000c
Common Uses
- Slick shearing show sheep
- Clipping show pigs, ranch dogs, horses, llamas, alpacas, meat and dairy goats
- Shaving or peeling beef and dairy cattle
- Prep animals for surgery
- They've also been used to cut imitation turf

Tips
Preparing the Animal for Clipping
- Remove the dirt from the hair first. If this is not done, expect accelerated blade wear and a reduction in animals clipped between blade sharpenings in exact proportion to the amount of dirt present. The benefits of dirt removal prior to clipping cannot be over-emphasized. Example: Those who wash their lambs prior to clipping often clip 20–30 club lambs between sharpenings (if the blades have been sharpened properly on a lapping machine). Those who don’t and have lambs with sand and soil in the wool often clip less than two lambs between sharpenings.
- Washing the animal with soap and water removes the most dirt. If this is not practical, use a high power vacuum or blower to remove as much dirt as possible from the hair or wool.
- Restrain the animal. Few animals like the sound of a clipper or the feel of vibration on their skin. When they react to either without warning, accidents can and will happen. Therefore, for the sake of you, your animal and your clipper, restrain the animal properly prior to clipping.
Precautions
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!
Warning: Risk of electrical shock—Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

Went through full blown Icelandic Horse winter coat like butter---not an easy thing to do. My 10 yr old Star Listers gave out and I decided to try Premiere's clippers...glad I did. The premier folks have worked to remove the Lister faults and provide a superior clipper for us all. When we first got our ranch we got all our fencing supplies from them. Over time I have been very impressed with their professionalism, their attention to customer service, and easy to follow instructions. They seem to know what we need, provide it, and are willing speak to us about it too. As other reviewers have said, do follow the oiling instructions for the clippers. Great company.

My horse trainer had these clippers and we did the clipping of horses together. I moved away and now have to clip my own horse. I had two choices. I could buy one clip job by someone else. The second choice, I could buy these clippers. I chose to buy these absolutely amazing clippers. These clippers could probably mow your lawn in the shortest amount of time you could imagine. The clippers leave your horse clean and sleek, minus all the crazy lines that alot of clippers leave. I was worried about the torque that you need to screw the blades on. I watched the video and was at ease with my performance to make my clippers run correctly. I oiled the specific points as suggested at the instructed time intervals. I never thought the clippers were overheating. The hair just came off so easy and in so little time. They are easy to clean and maintain well worth the money. I do recommend you get ear plugs if you will be doing the clipping, they are loud but given the performance of the clipping speed it's worth buying two sponge ear plugs. I will probably clip my horse a couple of times this season. I will have then saved money by buying these clippers. Quite a few people have commented on the lack of mower lines my horse has. I did scrub my horse prior to the clipping. This is very important to have the results that I had from these clippers. I highly recommend these clippers to all the equine people out there.

Yes! We sheared 4 lambs for the first time ever and it went great. Followed all directions to a T!

I have been clipping goats today and absolutely love these clippers! They are wonderful. Very easy to use and you don't have to go over areas multiple times. The staff was great to answer my questions and helped me get what I needed. Thank you,

So far we have been really pleased with these clippers. They do a nice job and are really easy to use with no danger of cutting the lambs skin. They are light weight and the blades are very easy tot put on and take off. They cut nice and short with the fine blade and leave a nice smooth finish with no blade makers on the lamb. They are very easy for kids to use too I am hoping they last a long time!
