Delivery 650-SP2 + custom made trailer in France
Just before Easter we have delivered a 650-SP2 with custom made trailer for Mr. Zeimet in France. Because of the strict traffic rules, we have choosen for a trailer from a French company with adjustments designed by CowCare SIA. The 650-SP2 is delivered with a hydraulic winch in the front, which can be used to let the crush pull itself on and off the trailer. For the trailer we have choosen a multitransporter with a low level deck (35 cm). In the trailer we have made adjustments, so that the crush can be transported with the wheels on, making uploading and unloading faster. Clients which are interested in buying a crush with (custom made) trailer system are welcome to contact us. Below two pictures of the crush with trailer.

Winter hibernation?
Some clients started asking us if we were in a winter hibernation, because for some time there has not been any "latest news". The answer is: NO! We have actually been quite busy and did not take the time to put the latest news on the website. But today we have updated everything again, so take your time to read our 5 newest articles below! Enjoy!
-------------------- 16-01-2012
The 650-SP2++ a new model!
We have the 650-SP2, which is in general a farmer model. And we have the 800-1 which is in general a model for the professional hooftrimmer. Everybody happy? During 2011 we have seen an increasing demand for a crush which holds the middle between a 650-SP2 and a 800-1. Especially from France, so we have decided to offer in 2012 a model which fits in the middle => The 650-SP2++. This crush has the standard options of the 650-SP2, but with the following extra's: hydraulic front winch (for pulling a cow in, or pulling the crush on a trailer), hydraulic hoof support plates for front feet and back feet, hydraulic flow brakes on the leg winches in front and in the back, a double input system 380 and 220 Volt and a hydraulic front gate. For more info click here.

Two new video's of the 800-1 hydraulic hoof trimming crush in action
We have again two new video's of the 800-1 hydraulic hoof trimming crush in action. This video is taken in The Netherlands and shows two hooftrimmers working with the 800-1 and a catching fold. Because of this combination fast cow traffic through the crush is possible. As you will see in the movies below, the avarage time for trimming one cow (4 legs!) is 2,5 minutes. And that without too much stress for the cows. See for yourself below or take a look on our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/CowCareSIA?feature=mhee):

Production times at the moment
Fast delivery is important, that's why in 2011 there has been put a lot of energy in decreasing the production times. An update concerning the production times at the moment: - 800-1 => 3 months - 650-SP2 => 5 weeks - 650-SP2++ => 5 weeks - 650-SP0 => 5 weeks

Technical improvements 800-1 hoof trimming crush
All 800-1 hoof trimming crushes ordered after 01-01-2012 will be standard delivered with the new improved hydraulic divider system. This improved system makes it possible to let the elevator of the crush come 10% higher. So now the crush + cow can be lifted up 55 centimer in the air. This is especially good news for the taller hoof trimmers. Also the hydraulic lifting is going faster. Olde versions of the crush need 7,5 seconds to elevate, with the new system this will cost only 4,5 seconds. This all improves the working efficience and hopefully also the work quality of the hooftrimmer.
-------------------- 16-01-2012 Subidy project completed, 650-SP0 delivered! In Latvia a lot of dairy farmers are increasing their farm sizes or are planning to do that in the coming year. Through subsidy project it is possible to get support for improving your farm. A couple of our clients have put hooftrimming crushes in these subsidy projects and the first hoof trimming crush acquired through these projects is delivered November 2011. At Kalna Mikas farm we have delivered a 650-SP0 electrical hoof trimming crush. For more information see the picture below and click on it. --------------------
