Gutter Stanchion Dairy Barn

While tiestall and stanchion barns are no longer the norm gea has experienced a 10 percent increase in barn cleaner installations in the last three years.

Gutter stanchion dairy barn.

Under normal circumstances gutters in tie stalls should not flood. Early manure gutter cleaners ran behind cows in traditional tiestall or stanchion barns. All sections are in 60 and 120 lengths and are constructed of 5 8 solid steel bars and 1 1 2 x 3 8 cross bars. The gutter should have a gradient of 1 for every 10 length.

Smoother finish also stays cleaner. Many old stanchion barns have a gutter down the middle so that gutter had to be filled in and leveled with the rest of the floor. Barn floods caused by cows breaking water lines are not that uncommon and it is very important that the water can drain to the gutter and not pool under the cows. My last video inside explaining the stanchion barn with the dairy cows.

Super tough powder coated finish resists chipping acids chemicals and rust. Excuse myself i wasn t as comfortable in front of a camera then as i am today. This wills permit a free flow of liquid excreta. Floor height was also an issue and roden had two barns where the difference in the floor height was 30 inches so that had to be fixed.

Sizes are available for 16 18 20 and 24 gutter widths.
