Dairy Event 2010: Shelbourne revamps cubicle bedder
While sand bedding is an ideal medium for cows to lie on, it is usually seriously bad news for any machinery that has to handle it.
As a result, Shelbourne’s Cubicle bedder 150 is now available with redesigned drive system which isolates the motor from any contact with sand – or any other abrasive material being used.
With a capacity of 1.2 cu m, the loader or tractor-mounted cubicle bedder is now available with a chain drive to the tined agitator – the hydraulic motor tucked safely away.
Other improvements include use of a more robust conveyor to exit the material out of the bedder. Price is £3978.
