How much ?

 

[MrA.G.]

How much ?

To be honest I haven’t priced any yet. Ekochute are made about an hour from here but I’m not aware of anyone local with one so I’d just like a few reviews. In my mind the front foot lift is a better design than the wooden block type setup that a lot of crushes use. Cowcare systems are the other local option

We looked at them at the Dairy Tech shows, they looked good, simple and robust but I am a little confused as they claim to be made in Ireland but there is also a Dutch website with the same crush and the videos on the Ekochute website are (I think ) in Dutch.

When ordering coronavirus was obviously an issue. I was ringing Ireland and he was walking around assembly whilst talking and giving me measurements There was an issue with pressing and galvanising a few brackets and that was then done in house and then galvanised

Shouldn't be allowed to buy one without having attended a physical training course!

Any animal treatment you should have training and be assessed by someone proficient not just watched YouTube!

You shouldn't have cows without being able to do basics of a foot.
A proper crush has got to be better for cow and owner than an Ai pen and a couple ropes.

I agree 100%

Know a guy who has just started keeping cattle who has vet in for all animal husbandry tasks for the first time and get instructions

Totally agree. Though a crush shouldn’t be the only form prevention. £7300 buys 10 loads of concrete round here

Saturday with manflu and on one’s self, along with the front foot holder snapping has encouraged a business decision. Any up to date thoughts not covered here already? Tia

 

[Cows 'n grass]

I'm still very pleased with my GDS one through hoofcaresupplies. If it were stolen or anything I wouldn't hesitate in buying another tomorrow.

Yeah, put that one in the skip!

 

[FarmerWasty]

I use the electric one on the gds website. Recommend it.

 

[Spudley]

We bought an ekochute this autumn and it is fantastic. It doesn't have front foot blocks, I'll attach a picture of what it does have. It works really well.

Daft question from one with currently a very basic manual crush can you get them just in a static form?
