How many brushes do I need?

Recommendations range between 60 to 100 cows per brush. Check your assurance scheme for their specific requirements.

How is the scratch brush installed?

Install the brushes with sufficient clearance on both sides. Avoiding entrance or exit areas and dead ends to prevent a cow stopping for a scratch causing a “cow-jam”.

The brushes have two mounting plates on the back of the vertical section.  Attach them to flat wood or concrete surfaces using appropriate screws, or bolt them to metal stanchions or well anchored gate posts. See the installation instructions for frame dimensions and more detailed instructions.

What is included in the mounting kit?

You can buy the brush by itself or add a mounting kit which contains:

• 4 x 40mm M12 threaded bolts with washers and nuts for fixing the brush to metal stanchions. (You will need to pre-drill holes using an M12 metal drill bit)
• 4 x 80mm M12 steel anchor bolts for fixing the brush to concrete panels. (You will need to pre-drill holes using an M12 masonry drill bit)
