Alley Scrapers - Alley Cat™ 260 [Click for Brochure]

J-STAR Alley CatTM Scrapers are a reliable and cost effective system for keeping your freestall barn clean. A clean barn helps reduce cow stress and can result in better health for your cows. Alley Cat systems will save you time, labor and money, as well as wear and tear on your tractor, skid loader and building.

Our systems install easily into almost any new or existing freestall set-up, including barns up to 1,250’ long! Choose between our Alley Cat 260 or 480 drive unit (depending on the size of your barn) and start enjoying the benefits of a low maintenance, reliable manure cleaning system.

The Alley Cat’s automatically controlled timing feature allows you to program cleaning cycles according to your (and your cows) schedule. This dependable, quiet and efficient scraper system will result in cleaner, healthier animals, more frequent cleaning of your alleys, and a cost-efficient method of manure removal.


Features:

A 1” diameter Acme thread lead screw moves the cable guide back and forth to load cable on the drum. Hardened steel guide blocks stand up to wear caused by cable abrasion.
  A safety shut-off T-bar (mounted over the cable drum) automatically lifts if the cable double-wraps on the drum, stopping the motor.

60:1 reduction worm-drive gear box handles heavy loads.
