Keep the Flow Moving — Beyondtech’s skid steer material drawing device Turns Cat, Bobcat, and Kubota Loaders into 24-Hour Feed-Return and Clean-Up Champions
Share
Modern barns, mills, and warehouses run like assembly lines: raw product in, finished value out, no pause allowed. Yet every line has its pinch point— the moment feed piles against a curb, chips stall under a conveyor, or compost ridges slump across a lane. Shovels solve nothing and tractor blades are too clumsy indoors. Beyondtech built its new skid steer material reclaimer series so the loader you already own pushes, pulls, and re-directs loose bulk without slowing the rest of the shift.
Snap the attachment to a high-flow Cat 262, a mid-flow Bobcat T650, or a nimble Kubota SVL75 and watch silage, grain, sawdust, gravel, or demolition rubble glide back into the process stream. One operator, one joystick, one relentlessly adaptable skid steer material transfer blade.
Blade Geometry Designed for Flow, Not Fight
The heart of the tool is a low-nose skid steer feed return blade married to a curved board that hugs piles instead of bulldozing through them. A front rib stiffens the lip while the trailing web flexes just enough to ride floor crowns—this “flexible push board attachment” profile cleans close without hammering rough concrete.
Because no two lanes share identical width, Beyondtech engineered a variable width feed blade. Telescoping ends slide out to catch the far bunk wall in a 14-foot dairy alley, then retract to nine feet for poultry lanes. Pins lock through stainless detents; a single hitch pin per side makes for quick set angle pusher changes between chores.
For uneven floor or curb work the board rotates on a kingpost. Swing thirty degrees right and scrape along stanchions; pivot left and create a side-shift bias angle feed pusher that steers mash back under a screw conveyor. Farm staff call it the “pendulum bias pusher” because the suspended bracket floats through heifer hooves and bollards that would stall fixed blades.
Hydraulic Intelligence in a Simple Hose Pair
Power comes from a twin-rod circuit tuned for compact loader flow. Plug two flat-face couplers and the attachment’s hydraulic material pusher function swings or locks via thumb rocker. Want pure push? Center the stick and the rams stay in neutral—zero drift keeping alignment true through entire laps of the barn.
A pressure-relief window on the manifold tells the driver whether to speed up or back off, protecting both the loader’s auxiliary pump and the high strength material blade itself. All hoses route through hose clamp protected lines under a formed cover plate; wrap them tight or pop exposures off—either way, cats and birds nibbling bedding twine won’t slice the lifeline.
Edges That Don’t Quit After the First Pile
A blunt steel bar can bruise concrete and chatter livestock. Beyondtech instead selects a dual-durometer “resilient pusher edge.” A top layer of abrasion rubber flexes over cracked expansion joints; a bottom strip of nitrided alloy skates on gravel or soil. When both wear down, four bolts free the lip, earning the unit a true replaceable edge feed blade badge.
For corrosive silage acids or salt-rich compost, swap in a corrosion resistant pusher insert— marine-grade stainless with serrations that grip frosty concrete. Even aggregate yards order that option; the serrations bite sand but won’t spark on crusher floor steel.
Built for Cat, Bobcat, Kubota — and Everything in Between
ISO quick-tach backs every frame. That means the universal mount feed pusher meets the same plate on a four-ton Bobcat S70 as on a track-stanced Cat 299. Flat-face ports straight from the factory promise spill-free hook-up and genuine plug and play chipper—sorry, pusher— convenience.
On older compact loaders with limited flow the blade behaves as a gravity glide tool; on high-flow machines the cylinders articulate fast enough to flick bedding curls sideways at walking speed, proving this is equally a compact loader material pusher and a full-frame track loader wood chipper— again, pusher— powerhouse.
What One Tool Does Across Industries
-
Dairy barn feed pusher — pulls yesterday’s silage back under neck rails before milking, minimizing refusals.
-
Poultry feed lane scraper — shuttles spillage out of the walkway and into collection trays, improving litter quality.
-
Silage bunker pusher — folds surface fluff into the face for tighter packing and reduced spoilage.
-
Feedlot material draw device — transfers ration mix down fence lines to mobile bunks without starting the mixer again.
-
Compost windrow pusher — slides rows inward during watering passes, saving loader travel distance.
-
Recycling line material pusher — replenishes baler ram feed without raking by hand.
-
Warehouse clean-up blade — sweeps spilt corn or coffee beans clear of forklift zones.
-
Construction debris pusher — corrals masonry fines against the bucket for faster load-out.
-
Storm cleanup tree saw partner — after the disc cuts, the pusher lines chips for grapple pick-up.
One blade, infinite chores: that is the definition of a multi-purpose material pusher.
Safety & Operator Comfort
High mast visibility matters in tight milking parlors. The Beyondtech board slopes at 12 degrees, placing the upper edge below the sightline of even the deeper Bobcat cabs. Rubber edge contact reduces ricochet; cows stay calm, concrete stays intact, and OSHA likes the term “operator safe feed pusher.”
Vibration isolators absorb feedback so hand fatigue falls— a boon during the predawn push when coffee is scarce. Stainless hose sleeves add fire-sheath thermal protection near flaker ovens or asphalt storage, expanding use into factory and industrial feed pusher settings.
Time & Labor — The Hidden Profit
A bunk-fed dairy tested the blade on a Kubota SVL. What once needed two workers with rubber paddles now takes fifteen minutes at joystick speed— legitimate “labor saving material pusher” ROI. A feed mill saved forklift life by red-irectioning barley dribble back onto chain conveyors. Poultry integrators recorded lower ammonia because litter stayed drier; the blade had become a feed process protector by accident.
Maintenance Sliced to Minutes
Daily service: rinse, inspect four bolts, grease two pins. Weekly: check tele-slot rods for end-stop burrs. Components? Plain bronze bushings you stock already; nitrile wipers you can cut from sheet. That routine is why the attachment claims both low maintenance pusher attachment and long life push board status without marketing smokescreens.
Durability Where the Mess Lives
Hot-dip galvanizing coats all telescoping channels. The hinge weldment uses high-carbon pins sized thick enough to share interchange with loader bucket mounts— break one, raid the parts bin, keep pushing. Tri-rib gussets lend torsional rigidity, turning the board into a heavy duty feed pusher that rides over manure grates, gravel, or broken brick without smile-bending.
Flexibility the Competition Missed
Need the board to side-shift? Order the side shift feed pusher kit: a manual slide block or a cylinder-driven slider depending on budget. Swapping between wide and narrow in the same barn? The easy width change pusher lever releases spring detents without tools. Want a one-off angle for weird bunker curves? The articulating material blade bracket pairs with pre-drilled spider plates— tilt, bolt, done.
Need pure scraping rather than pushing? Add a squeegee lip and the attachment morphs into a floor sweep attachment for slurry alleys. Need to bias the board for conveyor transfer? The pendant bias scraper bar provides ten degrees of sag so loose ore gravitates to belt centers. In every scenario, the board obeys because the engineers treated adjustability as core, not accessory.
The Bottom-Line Promise
Faster feed returns, cleaner floors, safer alleys, drier bedding, smoother conveyors— each consequence of a single productivity booster pusher that earns its keep whether clamped to Cat, Bobcat, or Kubota steel. Cut fuel, slash labor, extend concrete life, and still write one smaller check than the annual maintenance on a cable drag system.
Beyondtech built the premium feed pusher attachment the field asked for: rugged, adjustable, low-profile, always ready, rarely serviced. Attach it, angle it, push on— and let material flow the direction profit needs it to go.
