A farmer himself, David’s applied his engineering experience to delivering the Handypiece. Developed from the ground up to meet the demands of his own farming day, his portable electric sheep shearer and crutcher quickly found favour with many other farmers. A well-known innovator and creator of replica sports-cars, the Feilding-based farmer took the podium at Mystery Creek with Handypiece. In 2006, the revolutionary portable sheep shearing handpiece won the coveted Supreme Innovation Award for prototypes at the National Agriculture Field Days, Mystery Creek, and in 2009 the winning award for innovation at the Sheepvention, Australia.
