Manure Scraper Works For Snow, Too
 |
“Hustler was founded in 1961 by RH Currie, a farmer and engineer in New Zealand,” says Brent Currie, Hustler spokesperson. “He sought to simplify everyday tasks on his farm to save time and make life easier. The company remains family-owned today, with the DNA of innovation carried through the generations.”
The SwiftBlade is a loader-mounted scraper built with a 40 mm abrasion-resistant SBR rubber blade. “We made the SwiftBlade as a simple attachment to make dealing with muck much easier,” says Currie. “It’s normally a messy, dirty job; Switchblade makes it clean and easy.”
The high-tensile SBR rubber offers excellent abrasion and impact resistance for a clean sweep across concrete. “The special rubber reduces damage to troughs and floors and is available for skid steers and loaders. Some operators even use them to push light, fluffy snow,” says Currie. “These are mostly for dairy farmers, but SwiftBlades are useful for anyone with a feed pad or shed where cattle are housed over the winter that wants to maximize the fertilizer value of their manure.”
The blade and headstock’s slim profile keeps the weight near the tractor for better maneuverability in tight feed pads and dairy sheds. It’s designed without unnecessary bells and whistles, and the parking feet allow for fast and easy hooking and unhooking to prevent blade damage when not in use. Blade height adjustment will suit any size tractor for a wide variety of operations. And because it’s double-sided, you can quickly flip the rubber over to increase its working lifespan.
Each SwiftBlade weighs 452 lbs. and measures 102 1/3 in. by 33 1/4 in. by 19 1/8 in. Pricing starts at $3,190 plus freight.
