[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 4341700, member: 615"] Because the edge of the scraped bit and the bedded part is soggy, the edge is trampled down by the cattle into the area scraped. This way you don't get a steep climb. I don't let the bedded area get much more than 18 inches deep between mucking out anyway. Cattle are also cleaner this way than in the older sheds that I don't scrape. The older sheds aren't wide enough to be able to leave the front unbedded. Aye, it's a fair lump of a loader tractor! Had a gasket on the gearbox, gear lever cable (warranty), a seal on the pto stub, parking lever sensor, and a rubbed wire on the suspension in 2500 hours. Nothing that's cost more than £30 and my time to fix, but still annoying they happened. Fifteen years ago the loader tractor here was a wee 60hp zetor. How did I ever have enough time in the day? :D [/QUOTE]
