Haven’t seen one in the flesh but slightly put off by weak looking head yoke and front gates. Maybe internet pictures don’t do it justice

They are only near Bishops Castle, so you could drop over to have a look at one in the workshop in a couple of hours. They’ve always looked grand crushes whenever I’ve been there, and they will make make to whatever spec you want.👍

Glaved yes , i had one of the first mk1s for ni on 30 year , still got it infact no rust , dont have any issues with the self
Locking yoke never bent anything on either of them but my cows are probably smaller thsn yours , even then they were always tight fit in mk1 but the new squeeze is good, although i rarley need to use the squeeze bit .
Cows aren’t an issue generally it’s fat cattle that that run at it with force. We’ve managed to twist one of the yoke gates so it won’t latch together and break the weigh cells twice in that time. In general it’s not a bad crush as we manage to tb test 500+ a day in it. I’d just like to keep them calmer in it

Seriously, you should ring Pete at Morris. You will speak to the boss, who also designs the crushes, and they finish a decent number of those madly bred cattle themselves each year.👍

All the local marts have Morris. Says a lot about yoke strength and usage

Arrowquip have always said that powder coating is better than galvanising.

However crushes must be galvanised for the FETF.

Guess what - Arrowquip will now supply a galvanised crush.

Maybe too late,I’ve ordered one and Edgar says it may well be the last one they build due to his main fabricator retiring and himself not getting any younger.

Pity if someone didn’t take on the design and manufacture it.
I think Batemans is “very similar” already. I’m sure someone will start manufacturing it from his design

Unfortunately Dave Jones, Morris of Lydham past away last week after battling with cancer.
Dave will be greatly missed and thoughts are with Anthea, Sue, Pete and family.
