North Yorkshire based Wise Agriculture has added the Arrowquip 748 and 7416 to the Q-Catch 74 series mobile cattle handling range. The new mid-range manual squeeze models provide more options to improve safety and efficiency.
Supplied with the easy flow adjustable cattle race in one towable unit, the vertical bar design of the head gate allows light to enter the front of the crush when closed to draw cattle forward. The infinite lock headgate and parallel squeeze secures in any position, which says the company, allows a small calf or a large bull to be worked on without the need for adjustments.
The 748 has a single 2.43m (8’) adjustable race.
Other features include multiple access points with full-side horizontal opening top and bottom doors which can be pegged together and operated as one, removable top gates, and a drop-down and removable access door for TB testing.
Sheeted sides with removable top blinder panels keep cattle flow moving forward by preventing them from being distracted from activity outside the race. A simple pull rope allows the race width to be altered to suit different sizes of animal. An optional weigh platform kit fits within the race and supports Tru-Test and Gallagher load bars.
The 7416 comprises two adjustable races to create a maximum length of 4.87m (16’).
Both Canadian-made models come with a steel top and bottom frame and are fitted with a tractor tow bar and manual jacks. A five-year guarantee is standard, with lifetime guarantees on the crush’s rubber floor, rump fingers, squeeze and headgate locks.
Wise Agriculture is a main dealer for Arrowquip cattle handling equipment in the UK and Ireland. Prices of the new models range from £17,315 to £21,600 (+ VAT).
