Foot trimming crush

[Andrew1983]

Have an IAE crush with the add on winch puller to lift legs and pin on blocks to tie legs too. It’s hard going for more than the odd cow.

What do others use? Don’t justify big spending but would like something better that removes some of the risk of getting a grinder kicked out of my hand etc.

Have a look at the tepari hoof crush, does everything you need

Wopa would be a good simple foot crush for not many animals.

My wopa crush had a chain you put across from one side to the other then you winched the leg up against it,they couldn’t kick back at all and no need to tie them to a block.

I say for not many animals. Our trimming contractor used to use a wopa before these lift up crushes came along. Obviously a better specced one than the simple farmer ones.

My brother's a foot trimmer.his old crush was a roll over but he had to go on his knees.when it was time to change, he still has a roll over but it's higher an you don't need to bend down the same.

Our man never took to the rollovers for whatever reason. He's on KVK lift up one now. Did he say a replacement now is around £35k. Plus a trailer for it. Some money but it's a pig of a thing to get on and off the trailer.

My foot trimmer made a tip over one on a small izuzu truck for around 7k .

Up until recently i used an old Gabriel, Wade and English Foot Trimming Stocks, nearly 70 years old. Used to work fine but has now got a bit wobbly.
local foot Trimmers have all gone away from Roll Overs now. Cant say i liked them much.
Best thing is to cull for bad feet as it is very much hereditary.

Got 2 manual foot trimming crushed here surplus to requirements, an IAE crush (red) and a Galvanised Bateman. Due to purchasing a new electric crush.
