Batt Latch Gate Release Timer – A real time Saver for Dairy Cows or for moving livestock into a fresh paddock
Automatic gateway release timer. Solar powered all weather device to release attached spring, tape or bungy cord. Comes with a spring gate which includes handle, spring and insulating clip.
Pre-programmed by the farmer, this timer can be used on any gate system, and is particularly suited to dairy farmers with feed pads or supplementary feeding.
In a paddock situation, the timer and a temporary gate replace the function of the normal gate. Attach the Batt-Latch to one post with its adjustable webbing strap and then hook the supplied spring gate or bungy cord to the latch cam, stretch it across and clip it to the other post, or wire fence.
When the present time is reached, the battery-powered internal motor/gearbox is activated by the timer, the cam turns 360Š_ and the spring gate is released, enabling the stock to make their own way to the dairy, feed pad or other destination.

Gillian Fraser –
release them at a specific time each day. Having seen one demonstrated several months ago on a training video, I have toyed with the idea of buying one, but was put off by the cost. I even tried, unsuccessfully, to make one. Eventually, I ordered one and I am so glad I did as I can see how much time and money it will save me in cutting down visits to the yard and allowing me to lie-in, knowing that the horses are out in their paddock, not fidgeting and waiting for me. I decided to use the spring coil gate and it is proving successful. The first time I used it, I didn’t hot-wire it and it proved not necessary. However, when a pushy pony was introduced, I electrified the coil and will continue to do so periodically so they maintain respect for it. I set the CCTV to watch the procedure. The first time it went off they were standing close to it and when it released they shot across the yard, but now they are used to it and are not concerned by it. The spring usually comes off the hook at the “hinge”side so it does lie on the ground, presumably earthing and draining the battery, so I might put a tie on to prevent this happening. I can see how useful it will be in the summer in controlling the amount of grazing and I would certainly recommend the product. If money is no object, then consider the remote-control
