Q

Could you please introduce the situation of your company?

We are Changchun Chengkai Nongtou Animal Husbandry Development Co., LTD. Our breeding scale is approximately 100,000 heads per year, and the cattle farm covers an area of 225 hectares.

Q

What reasons have led the company

Start purchasing Bobcat sliding equipment?

When our leader was working on a state-owned ranch, he discovered the problem of difficulty in cleaning up manure dead corners. The company discovered that the performance of the Bobcat S550 roller loader was quite good and it had no blind spots in manure removal. Therefore, the first Bobcat S550 was introduced.

Q

What are the applications of the Bobcat S550 in cattle farms?

The Bobcat S550 mainly undertakes the task of cleaning manure in cattle farms. If cow manure is not cleared in time, it will not only breed bacteria but also produce some harmful substances. The Bobcat S550 is very flexible when cleaning feces and can achieve thorough cleaning without any blind spots. At the same time, it is not as bulky as some large machinery. Its speed of cleaning manure is extremely fast.

After the introduction of the Bobcat S550, manual cleaning of feces is basically no longer needed. In some relatively narrow calf sheds, the Bobcat S550 can also operate efficiently.

Q

Has the efficiency improved after using Bobcat?

Compared with the previous practice of cleaning our large forklifts every two days, since we started using the Bobcat S550, we can achieve daily cleaning. In some calf sheds, when large equipment is brought in, it is necessary to handle and rotate the calves. But since the introduction of this Bobcat S550, it is no longer so troublesome and the efficiency has been greatly improved!

Q

How did the Bobcat perform on its homework?

The fuel consumption of the Bobcat S550 really surprised me, only 5 liters per hour. Meanwhile, its cleaning range is also very wide, and the body is relatively small and flexible. The equipment has been operating quite stably. Since we introduced it, we have been using it for about two years, and basically no major problems have occurred. The failure rate is extremely low. We are extremely satisfied with the Bobcat S550!

Q

How would you evaluate the after-sales service of Bobcat?

After-sales service is on call at any time. When you need it, just give them a call and they will provide you with comprehensive technical guidance or even come to your site for on-site guidance. The details of after-sales service are extremely comprehensive.

Q

What is the application prospect of bobcats in pastures?

The Bobcat S550 has great potential for development in the livestock industry. The removal method for bobcat slippage is different from that of other types.

It can turn 360 degrees in place and is capable of comprehensive clearance.

We are about to purchase five Lynx S550s for our company in the future.

Q

How is the driving and riding experience of the Bobcat slippage?

I've been driving this Bobcat for about a year and a half. In terms of power, it's indeed quite good. This bucket is much larger than the one I used to drive

It takes about an hour to clean a cowshed. It has excellent flexibility, low fuel consumption, adjustable seats, comfortable driving and is particularly enjoyable to work on!
