Cattle hurdles

[Englishman]

Looking at cattle hurdles or a corral system from Ritchie or iae starter mobile set up what’s people through pro and cons please

 

[Dog Bowl]

The IAE hurdles are fine but not the strongest. No experience of Ritchie. I've a set of hurdles from GST fabrication (Google them) which are built to last and weigh almost twice as much as an IAE hurdle.

I've got some Ritchie hurdles nice and light to shift on your own and high cattle havnt tried to jump yet also have some of another unknown makecnot as high but a lot heavier if you have to shift them

I bought a handling system from a young lad welding them up himself. Just painted but heavy!!

Iv bought the 1830 high iae ones. Impressed with them. I also have some of the 1500mm ones and they are spot on for younger cattle.

Thanks what about Bateman well priced set up

Problem is with hurdles is if you don’t need to lift them with the loader there not strong enough but makes setting up a pain

Most makes are made from steel so thin that the galvanize is thicker than the steel and just rips apart at welds, in my opinion very dangerous for people using them. Seen IAE just fall apart, but others just as bad.

Ritchie are fine, MVF are heavier but fine too.

Can’t comment on IAE. Have a set of Ritchie ones that were part of the mobile handling system we purchased. Very happy with them. Well made, good finish and strong and robust.
But our cattle are all pretty quiet. No mental Limo’s here

I find the opposite.
The lighter ones tend to be made of high tensile steel and far less prone to bending than the older style heavier ones.

Just bought 10 of these. There alloy made in Canada.

I’d be interested in knowing where you got them from too, please

GST Fabrication mentioned above . Have got their stuff and well made and good firm to deal with, would recommend.
IAE are a pain to deal with and very long lead time unless someone has stock items.
Ritchie's and Bateman also strong but GST would be my first choice.

How are your hurdles lasting @Optimus ?

Looking at lightweight cattle hurdles, the only ones I can find are Kellfri and possibly Wise Ag

Any others worth considering ?

Hope you've got a welder. Joining eye's sometimes not very well done. Don't bother complaining, they "Never" have any problems.
