Photo 1 is remanufactured Model SBs Arm TakeOff installed on remanufactured stalls.
Photo 2 TechForAg Model SBs installed on new TechForAg ProTime I stalls.
Photo 3 shows the Arm in milking position.These arms are rigid vertically and flexible like a cat's tail horizontally - if the cow moves the arm follows perfectly.
Photo 4 (b -l) shows Arm in rest position. Claw hangs straight - rest milk left in the claw and milk hose does not spill on cow platform.
Photo 5 -Top Outlet Claws work best with Arm TakeOffs; J-Hook on left supports hose bundle, supporting the extra weight that leads to squawking of the front teat cups if it is not supported.
Photo 6 - Spring loaded Auto Clutch protects the arm. If a heifer gives the arm a good whack the outer plate rotates against the rubber spring and the arm snaps back to level position
These are 3-Link 12" Arms, which work best in 45" stalls. 4-link arms are available for special cases. An example would be if you were to milk a mixed herd of Holsteins and Jerseys. We also offers 3-link and 4-link 9" arms which work best in stalls with 38" cow-to-cow distance.
