VERTICAL ROTATING COW BRUSH

[pappuller]

as per the title, our swinging brushes are getting tired and I wondered if anyone has knowledge of just a vertical rotating brush that doesn't swing ? with using chalk we don't need a brush to reach the tailhead. ive seen the spinder vertical and horizontal fixed brushes but only want a vertical option.

Just turn them off.

One of my guys is a split block with those brushes and we asked him to turn it off for the 6 weeks we're there. Went back 6 months later and he forgot to turn it back on! Cows looked absolutely fine.

Just turning them off is no use for chalking. I see cows positioning the brush on their tail head and wiggling to get a scratch, taking the paint with it. I'm sure I've seen a brush you could lock in the verticle but can't remember where.

I am not 100% sure but I think @Chips has cowcare brushes and if you get the mounting height correct they are OK with chalk.

My cows get dusty without the brushes

ours are dairy spares cow king brushes and have stops to supposedly prevent rubbing too high up, just wanted to see if there are any vertical fixed brushes about

Yes I have a cow care swinging brush no problems with RMS . Occasionally it will rub a bit off chalk but it's very obviously not heat activity when it does . Preg rate was over 30 last report we had so can't do much harm , in fact genus rep sells the sane brush to rms farms

Do cows bother much with the non motorised versions? Once our cows figured the motor on ours had packed up they never bothered about the brush

Strong money. What makes them worth it? Was considering one or two for the suckers, could you recommend anything a bit cheaper?

Made ours from the worn out brushes from a bucket brush that were kicking around a neighbours shed floor, he was happy to see them gone and I've got enough spares to last until he wears the next brush out

 

[Spudley]

Ours are made from road sweeper brushes
