Ordinary squeeze crush

[Wooly]

How is the crush , is it up to your expectations ?

Yes, very good so far after about 700 cattle through it for ourselves and a neighbour. Long and wide enough for the cattle to just walk in easily. Vet loves the squeeze action and head scoop for TB testing.

Every panel opens easily. Alot cheaper than many manufacturers.

Not a downside for our Sussex cattle, but there is no bar or kick rail behind, but the squeeze mechanism appears to stop them moving anyhow.

Priced an Ambassador manual squeeze crush with sliding rump bar today.

They've made a few and are emailing me the drawings tomorrow.

I have to make my bloody mind up soon. Ive seen a cattlemaster crush recently and it is the business. big bucks though. I like the morris one, I must give them a ring. I want a manual squeeze( no hydraulics). Saw a bateman ambasador at the ploughing and it looked ok but i would'nt consider it of the manual gate cant be closed from behind the animal

We have the new design Bateman Ambassador crush, with head scoop. Great bit of kit and we get on with it really well. The back door is a sliding door that can open either side, and we close from behind the animal loads of times as we haven't built a race to go with it yet

 

[fbarron]

oh so you can close it from behind the animal like a morris setup. and do you think its durable.

Still available as far as i know. Has been on show stands this season but hasn't had anything through it.

On ours you can't catch the animals head from the back but we shut the back door and then catch the head. If that's what you mean? You can perhaps have that as an option though.
It seems pretty durable, we've only had it since the spring but we've done a full herd test through it with little trouble.

Could you send me some details on those crushes please @W&W Mackie I need to set something up next year.

I'd make sure you have the rear handle for the yoke, it's much better if working on your own.

Some photos and a video on here wouldn't hurt, the manufacturer website didn't have much about this crush that i could find.

I thought it looked very good, I was tempted by it, but I don't want to buy until I know where I'm going to set a race up, I'll end up ordering the wrong side

 

[fbarron]

yeah if i cant have a rear handle for the yoke id be not so interested

 

[fbarron]

does any one have a morris manual squueze

Used to have one where i ran someone else's cattle, and it was superb, I wish I'd bought it. But it was nearly new and all singing,

Will stick some up when possible.

We also have a headgate with front basket and set of crush sides available if someone wants to do a homemade set up.

SJH was it a paralell squeeze using a handle. morris could do with a new website
