Koojan Downs Feedlot's 'SKID Steer fence line scraper (pivot head)' Innovation
What is your innovation?
Low profile pen scraper with a pivot point on the front, tensioned by four springs to provide movement when scraping around concrete fence footings, tight spots and uneven ground.
How does the innovation/idea work?
A low-profile pen scraper with a pivoting front head, tensioned by four springs to allow movement when scraping around concrete fence footings, tight spots, and uneven ground. It minimises excessive force on the scraper and skid steer, reduces damage to fence footings and posts, and lets one scraper clean narrow spacings that would otherwise need multiple scraper sizes. What issue/challenge is your innovation solving? Minimises excessive force on the scraper and skid steer.
Reduces damage to fence footings & posts.
Gives the ability to clean in narrow spacings because of the pivoting head, reducing the need for multiple size scrapers.
Cost of Innovation:
$50 in consumables, everything else from scrape metal(approx $150)
