Save time in chook shedBy JONNO NASH

POULTRY farmers might beclucking with delight over anew machine designed toimprove chicken littermaintenance.

The Inlon Regen machine groomsand aerates the surface of the litter using a rear comb to manicure the bedding floor.

The device can be attached to a low-powered compact tractor and navigate through confined poultry shed areas.

Inlon sales and marketing manager Gary Surman said it was more efficient than manual techniques and designed to improve the environment and welfare of chickens.

“The machine will break down thelarge caking that appears on the floor,” he said. “It has an integrated rear comb to ensure that large cakes are all reduced while retaining a reduction of the litter, the stuff the chickens love to get into.

“The special rotor and refining combs ensure a dry and fluffy consistency. The addition of rear combs (helps) further refine the material.”

Inlon tested the time-saving

technology with Kulnura, NSW, poultry farmer Jason Galea.

Mr Surman said that since usingthe machine, Mr Galea had met stringent maintenance requirements, earning the RSPCA Paw of Approval logo on his products.

Mr Galea, who has six sheds with

120,000 birds, said the Regen machine had potential to cut his manual workload.

“The machine does most of my work,” Mr Galea said. “I don’t have to clear out the material after every batch and there’s much less odour because it stays so dry.

“The long-term impact is healthierand makes for happier birds, lower bird mortality rates and reduces my cycle costs for a more productive poultry farm.”

The base model of the Regen machine costs $6270, with the high-end product pushing towards $7000.

Time saver: The Regen machine rejuvenates chicken litter to create a healthier environment for poultry.

Impressive: The JCB GT backhoe.

Power digger at Deniliquin

IF YOU’RE impressed by the 70km/h you can achieve in a JCBFastrac tractor, then you’ll be even

more impressed with this drag strip special that will be a star attraction at the Deni Ute Muster on October 3-4.

It’s the 1000hp JCB GT Backhoethat will be doing shakedown runs at the muster before an attempt at being officially recognised as the world’s fastest backhoe at the Bathurst 1000.

The 3.5-tonne machine is poweredby a supercharged 454 Chevrolet big-block V8 and has hit 193km/h in drag strip runs.

JCB CEA executive general manager Hylton Taylor said the JCB GT is unofficially known as the world’s fastest backhoe and the Australian trip would make it official.

“We’re excited to see how it performs,” he said. “More than two years of research and development went into producing the GT.”
