Each Milk Train for calves holds a total of 10 litres with two 4-litre individual chambers. Milk Train is easy to carry about with the central handle, even when full of milk. The adjustable latch-strap system makes for quick and easy connection to any type of rail, pipe or wood, up to 40mm diameter, or 150mm deep. Hook over the rail and simply pull strap upwards to lock onto fence or gate rail. Place over a central rail to feed two individual pens. Feeders stack with teats on for carry or storage. Each Milk Train is 42cm long overall. Replacement latch straps available.
Supplied standard with our famous EXCAL Big Softy teats, complete with intake elbow/valves. Big Softy teats have an inverted tip for controlled calf feeding which aides in calf digestion. Big Softy teats are marked with the word TOP to ensure they are orientated correctly in the feeder. If positioned incorrectly the inverted tip will not open for milk flow. Intake elbows and non-return valves can become stuck and should be removed and inspected regularly for blockages or can be removed altogether.
