Beyondtech Barn Master — The skid steer excrement pusher that Turns Cat, Bobcat & Kubota Loaders into High-Sanitation Powerhouses
Share
If the feed wagon is the heart of a livestock facility, a clean alley is its set of lungs. Cows slip when slurry coats concrete, air quality plummets as bedding rots, and pathogens flourish in every corner a boot can’t reach. The daily chase with a hand squeegee or a PTO scraper burns labor hours most farms can’t spare. Beyondtech designed its skid steer manure pusher line so the loader you already own becomes a zero-excuse sanitation rig—one that folds to clear gates, widens for broad alleys, and leaves nothing behind but the sweet slap of clean concrete.
A Blade Built for Barn Realities
Traditional snow plows splinter on freestall curbs, while dedicated alley scrapers often hitch only to tractors. The Beyondtech answer is a foldable excrement pusher: twin wings pivot on hardened pins, driven by a synchronous cylinder pusher circuit that keeps both sides at identical angles. Need to slip through a calf-barn doorway? Tap a toggle and the assembly tucks tight. Roll into a 14-foot feed alley? Extend until the adjustable width manure pusher spans curb to curb. Because each wing rides on a guide wheel manure scraper, the edge floats just above high spots, preserving the floor’s broom finish instead of scalping it.
The moldboard itself uses a “snow V” heritage but inverts the bevel. On contact, slurry rides up the smooth manure pushing blade and slides sideways toward the pit, a flow pattern that suits thick bedding mats as well as semi-liquid slurry pusher passes after a flush cycle. Bolt holes line the bottom so crews swap between a replaceable edge manure blade of stainless for caustic dairies or a smooth rubber edge pusher for delicate epoxy floors in newer poultry houses.
Hydraulic Intelligence Plugged into Flat-Face Ports
Hookup takes under a minute: ISO plate into the coupler, lines onto flat face coupler scraper ports, key on. A flow divider inside the valve block means Cat’s high-flow circuits move at the same feather speed as Bobcat’s standard loop, so mixed fleets never tailor technique to brand. The fold rams share oil through that divider too, guaranteeing equal wing speed and fulfilling the promise of a safe dung pusher attachment—no corkscrew surprises in a tight pen with heifers milling about.
Operators of older Kubota wheel skids appreciate the low flow barn scraper setting, which cuts wing speed without starving the center blade. Flip to high-flow when a late-model track loader faces clay-heavy runoff; the center section stays pinned thanks to load-holding checks, giving you a stable cut tree shear-level of shear hold—except now applied to fertiliser-rich slush.
Adaptable Widths for Every Species and Stall
Beyondtech offers three starting sizes, but each installs telescoping outers, turning every model into a variable width excrement blade. Tie-stall dairy? Collapse to nine feet. Goat shed dung pusher? Close to six and scour bedding rows. Beef barn manure blade? Stretch full width for center-alley sweeps between feedings. Poultry integrators spec a rubber tip, re-label the head a poultry house waste pusher, and glide under drinking lines without splashing litter.
Because each telescoping panel carries a triangular rib plate scraper brace, the wings resist torsion. That engineering pedigree makes the head a bona fide heavy duty manure pusher, not a re-badged snow blade.
Visibility & Safety Inside the Milking Parade
Scraping during milking shift means weaving past cows and parlor lines. The frame uses sloped upper plates and a low center rib, earning it a “high visibility manure pusher” nickname from dairy hands who once craned necks over tall moldboards. Edges glow with UV-fast tape so LED barn lights reflect even through steam. Paired with the slip-resistant deck on Cat or the low-dash Bobcat cab, the attachment gives loaders a clearer sight path than PTO scrapers ever could.
Chain curtains borrowed from Beyondtech’s mulcher division line the top lip; a curious heifer nudging the bracket finds only smooth links, meeting the “biosecurity barn scraper” spec many dairies now demand. Optional bump sensors talk to skid-mounted beepers—an upgrade ranchers choose for robotic milking barns where people and machines share tight aisles.
Built for Semi-Liquid Slurry, Frozen Bedding, and Anything Between
Farm slurry is never consistent, so Beyondtech layers resilience into the blade profile. A stainless steel edge scraper shrugs at silage acids and iodine foot bath residue. In far northern barns, operators sub a polyurethane insert that flexes against frost ridges. The center wear strip bolts off in minutes—a design borrowed from our maintenance friendly tree shear line—keeping total downtime to two wrenches and a coffee break.
The hydraulic manifold hides under a seal-flanged cover. Grease fittings cluster on a header bar reachable without crawling, proving the tool’s maintenance friendly pusher badge is more than marketing. Pivot pins can be switched without driving out bushings—pop, slide, replace—ideal for rental fleet forestry mulcher—sorry, barn scraper—managers who want high turnover uptime.
High Productivity, Low Strain
Time studies show there isn’t a more boring chore than alley cleaning—straight lanes, repeat passes, no brain power but plenty of spinal grind for the operator. The Beyondtech blade turns that grind into joystick finesse: push forward, wing open, slurry flows silent. No twisting to watch a drag go behind, no stepping off to tension cables. That melting of fatigue underlines the term labor saving dung pusher and explains why calf barns adopt the head even when a skid steer already pulls feed buckets.
A single Cat 262D fitted with the pusher swept three 400-foot feed alleys between milkings without moving cows—a genuine time saving barn pusher anecdote repeated by customers who now build blade passes into chore lists once done by hired teens and pitchforks.
Compatibility from Mini Skid to Track Tank
Because the blade folds, even a compact loader manure pusher can transport the large model through 8-foot doors. A small loader dung scraper variant weighs less than most rock buckets, letting stand-on skids safe for greenhouse aisles scrub out potting soil from concrete. High-horse track units pair the wide model with the slatted floor barn pusher shoe kit, letting them skim right over manure slats without hooking reinforcement bars.
Beyondtech also laser-cuts optional lugs for telehandlers and small tractors, but the ISO backplate remains standard so swap-outs during busy bedding flips stay under a minute.
Built-In Strength That Lasts Longer than a Mortgage
Materials matter: plate steel above 50-ksi yield, full-fillet welds, zero skip seams. Parts live in the splash zone so Beyondtech triple-coats with zinc primer, epoxy mid, and poly top, forging a rust resistant dung scraper armor seldom seen on farm implements. Operators grease pivot knuckles daily, but even neglectful hands won’t rattle the long life manure blade: bronze bushings press-fit onto shafts hardened well beyond stock hitch pins.
The fold cylinders mount inverted—chrome rods hidden from slurry splash—another borrowed trick from our hydraulic tree shear program that nearly eliminates pitted rods after seasons of iodine and stray lime.
Real-World Testimony, Zero Marketing Hype
A Wisconsin dairy with 1,200 stalls retired its chain alley scraper after three months of loader testing. The Beyondtech pusher reduced bedding contamination; SCC counts fell; vet visits shrank. A Kansas feedyard using coarse sand bedding found it could back-drag slopes by closing wings halfway, something cable drags failed to manage. And on a North Carolina turkey complex, two Kubota SSV75s equipped with the poultry litter pusher model swept 160,000 square feet of bedding ahead of shavings re-lay in a single morning—the previous method took two nights and four workers.
Wrap-Up: Clean Lanes, Healthy Herds, Better Bottom Line
Livestock waste isn’t glamorous, but money saved on hoof health, air quality, and labor certainly is. Beyondtech’s hydraulic dung pusher series lets every Cat, Bobcat, or Kubota loader you already own deliver that savings: no cables to rust, no tractor PTO drop box to rebuild, no staff sidestep around flailing chains. It folds to fit doors, widens to fit alleys, holds up to caustic slurry, and drops manure where it belongs—out of the barn and into the pit.
Attach, unfold, push, fold, detach—minutes instead of man-hours. For dairy, beef, poultry, goats, horses, or even zoo rhinos (yes, one custodian tested), the Beyondtech pusher means cleaner floors, healthier animals, and calmer accountants.
