    LC,

    I think people are getting wires crossed here.
    This is the scoop they are talking about.

    Not the inserted probe you were thinking about. I made the same mistake.:D

    how did i miss that, reilig can this be moved to different crushes can you find out it looks like it can from the picture, does it just slot over the pipe that is welded onto the crush.

    That's it exactly. My mate has 2 crushes and it just slots over the pipe on each allowing him to swap it from either. No welding either - its held on with U-Bolts

    I take it that if the cow was to 'go down' in the crush with her head in that, she'd choke to death. Like the old crush gates that didn't allow the head to drop fully to the ground.
    If your making one, you'd better have a very good quick release that will work even when there's half a weight of a cow on it.

    Pulling the lever releases the ratchet letting the scoop down, Btw the original one the "super scoop" is about 700 quid!

    That would have been the Stockstill Immobiliser.

    Exactly, my mistake.

    Never thought a skulling gate (even a sophisticated one) would be called an immobiliser.

    Outrage officially withdrawn!
