Barn Scrapers Made From Old Trees

Barn Scrapers Made from Old Trees TIRES/WHEELS New Uses 9-2-25 "They cause less wear and tear on walls, floors and equipment," says Bob Merten, Parkdale, Ore., about his company's manure scrapers made from old tires. The 3-pt. mounted scrapers range in width from 5 ft. to 10 ft. and are fitted with cross sections of industrial tires that range in thickness from 24 to 54 ply. "They virtually last forever and don't smooth or make the concrete slick. When they hit walls or equipment, they just bounce off and no damage is done," notes Merten. The scrapers are built to fit either Cat I or Cat. II 3-pt. hitches. Merten has also built them to mount on front loaders or skid steer loaders. The scrapers sell for $495, fob factory.
