Compact, Powerful, and Portable
Sidekick™ is a “flag-only” system housed in a compact, weather resistant NEMA4 steel enclosure powder coated for durability. The system comes standard with enough Supercord line for a 100 foot working area and quick mount pulley system. It is 10″ x 8″ x 6″ and weighs only 15 lbs and comes with a 2 year limited warranty.
Adjustable Single Speed or Dual Speed Operation
Each Sidekick™ comes with a lightweight 2 button remote “right or left” as well as manual direction control mounted on the box. Speed can be adjusted while the unit is in motion on single speed systems.
Record and Play Any Training Pattern (Optional)
The real power and flexibility of the Sidekick Elite™ is the Record/Play capability. With one (Elite) or four (Elite-4) memory locations this is truly a system that can provide a great training program. The non-volatile memory won’t lose stored programs. The record, play pause and stop functions are all activated from the remote which can be placed on your wrist or on your saddle. The pause feature lets you “stop-the-clock” in either record or play mode. All speed settings are recorded so there is no need to remember the speed settings for each program.
Here’s how it works:
Press the “record” button on the hand remote. Then, move the cow or flag left, right, stop and go at any speed. Then, push the “save” button. Any time want to use that pattern, simply push the “play” button and that pattern will automatically begin to play exactly the way you recorded it.
Adjustable Stop (Hard, Medium, Soft)
All CowTrac™ series systems come with the ability to set the stop. You can select a hard stop, a slow stop or one in between.
True Portability
The SideKick comes with a rechargeable battery mounted on the side of the box. All CowTrac™ Systems can operate on either regular plug-in electricity or a battery. I use a small motorcycle battery. Plus, the universal mounting system makes it easy to set up and take down in a couple minutes.
Remote Control
The real power and flexibility of the Sidekick Elite™ is the Record/Play capability. With one (Elite) or four (Elite-4) memory locations. This is truly a system that can provide a great training program. The non-volatile memory won’t lose stored programs.

Optional 18 Volt Battery (For more power)
Sidekicks are upgradeable to an 18 Volt integrated rechargeable battery. No need to hook up AC power or carry a deep cycle battery. The system uses a standard Makita LXT-style battery and provides 4-6 hours of operation per charge.
