Mucky job made easy

Sometimes less is more, meaning the need for technology isn’t always the answer, just a wellbuilt, simple machine to do a job efficiently.

The recently introduced Swift- Blade from Hustler appears to meet this criteria, in the form of a basic front-end-loader mounted manure scraper for cleaning down feed pads, holding yards and dairy sheds.

Featuring a robust frame with quick attach mounters for the front loader, allowing easy pick up and go, the heart of the machine is a 40mm thick, high-tensile SBR rubber blade that offers abrasion and impact resistance, while scraping the area cleanly.

Said to have a working life of around three years in normal use, once worn, the blade can be flipped and hopefully deliver another three years of service. To accommodate different tractor sizes and a range of operating conditions, the blade height can be easily adjusted.

With ease of use in mind, fold down support legs are positioned on either side of the machine to deliver easy pick up and drop off after an area is cleared. Measuring 2,600mm wide and 845mm tall, the LM260 scraper weighs in at around 205kg.
