HayTime Mechanical
Reliable feeding control without electricity. A fully mechanical timer for opening a pasture gate or releasing a hay net at the time you set.
Features
Set the time you want (0–12 h) by turning the timer dial on the base of the unit. The timer releases once the set time has elapsed.
The fully mechanical mechanism needs no batteries or charging, so it is always ready to use, whatever the weather.

Frequently asked questions
Does HayTime Mechanical withstand frost and humidity?
Yes. All our devices are tested for Nordic winter conditions. If the timer is used horizontally, protect it from direct rain and snow.
How much load can the timer take?
The maximum load is 3 kg.
What is the difference between HayTime Digital and HayTime Mechanical?
HayTime Mechanical is a mechanical, reliable and affordable basic model with a 12-hour maximum. HayTime Digital times to the minute and has a longer maximum time. If you time hay for different horses with several timers, we recommend the Digital.
Can the timer be used horizontally?
Yes, as long as it is attached to the mounting rail as instructed and protected from direct rain and snow. It must not be used upside down.
Can two mechanical timers open two gates at exactly the same time?
Mechanical timers are hard to synchronise to open at exactly the same moment, because every mechanism is an individual and accuracy is ±5%. If you need perfect simultaneity, we recommend HayTime Digital, whose release can be set to the minute.
What happens if a horse rushes through a timed gate?
If the timer is pulled too hard and too suddenly, the mechanism opens automatically before greater damage occurs. This does not fully guarantee the timer will not be damaged, but all parts are available as spare parts.
