Bateman hoof master crush

[flatliner]

We're thinking of changing our hoof trimming crush. We've currently got an old manual Wopa, which is a bit tight for some of our bigger stock. We don't do that many in one go, so I'm thinking of going for a Bateman Hoof Master crush. Has anyone any experience these crushes?

I had a look at one and it was huge, way too big for a grazing type cow.

.I'd highly recommend one of these. £4400 and you'll get 40% grant on that

Aye, that's the one.

 

[Will Blackburn]

Aye, that's the one.

We've got one albeit individually specified with a gate round the front and a manual scissor yoke, I'm sure is was very significantly cheaper than that. @Cows 'n grass is right its too big for really small cows, but nevertheless we like it.

Cheaper than ₤4400?

Even if it was on the big size, it would leave it we could check the bulls feet as well

 

[Will Blackburn]

It appears that my price was about 40% cheaper, obviously pre-grant purchase.

The hoofcare crush is awsome. The 50% grant helps too.

Is the rump rail a good job?

 

[Will Blackburn]

Yeah, it does what it needs to do.

ive got a bateman, changed from an iae about 4 ish years ago, it an ok crush , I do all my cows through it , didn't like the way the floor is on it so cucked an old cubicle mat in it and doing front feet with the manual winders is a back breaker , struggle to do many more than 5 cows on all 4's . rear rump bar is way better than the old chain setup, but occasionally get the odd cow that ends up sort of wedged under it if they are fidgety.

like the look of the hoofcare one but maybe its because its more automated with the winches , ( be the next upgrade!)

Next door neighbour has one and said it’s no good for foot trimming. All the bits used for lifting feet etc are strong enough
