Product characteristics

The KVK Model 650-SP2 Hydro is an on-farm solution that is easy and simple to operate while at the same time giving you the feeling of working like a professional. The chute is developed and designed to meet today’s growing demand for hoof trimming, while providing a high comfort to trimmer and livestock during the hoof trimming. The 650-SP2 Hydro is designed to perform hoof trimming of livestock between 200-900kg.

The KVK hoof support system
The unique KVK hoof support system provides a ridged surface to trimming against allowing for the trimmer to use both hands for optimal work flow and more precise trimming. The hoof support plates can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction making sure the hood is support in the best way possible, which is important in the treatment or blocking of the hoof. 

Essential hydraulic functions
The model 650-SP2 Hydro is equipped with all the essential hydraulic functions making for a good working flow.

The legs are lifted and placed on the hoof support plates with help from hydraulic winches while the leg sleeves allow for an easy and gentle fixation during this lifting process. The hydraulic double belly band system provides comfort and stability for the livestock during the trimming. The system also offers the usage of the chute for other treatment purposes, while it exposes the udder.

Easy and simple to operate
The design of the 650-SP2 Hydro with a hydraulic lifting system, which can be individually adjusted, provides you with a good working posture during the trimming making it easier for you to trim for longer periods of time. The chutes is equipped with rubber plates under the feet, which makes it very stable and help reduce noise.

The side-hinged backdoor is designed to be part of the barrier when guiding the livestock into the chute, while open it block the cows flight route to the right side. At the same time the side-hinged back door enables the usage of the back door for storage purposes creating an easy access to the equipment needed for trimming such as knives, bandages etc.

 The four LED working lights placed above all hooves creates the optimal visibility of the working area during the trimming, which is very important in the detect of illnesses.

Easy maintenance
The hoof trimming chute model 650-SP2 Hydro is fully galvanised making the surface of the chute very durable and therefore very resistant towards aggressive environments, which can be found on farms.

The floor of the chute is covered in a special rubber mat, which is very durable and made of a material which can withstand the usage of strong cleaning detergents. Furthermore, the rubber mat is designed with a non-slip surface and a technology the absorbs the weight of the cow into the mat, making it ideal for securing the footing of the cows.

The back of the floor is designed with a grid, so that faeces will not accumulate on the floor of the chute making it slippery and securing that the hoof is not covered in faeces and making it cleaning-friendly.

Animal welfare
The 650-SP2 Hydro is developed and designed on the basis of the anatomy and movement of the cow trying to make the chute as suitable as possible for the livestock undergoing trimming. Therefore animal welfare and comfort has and will always be one of the key factors in our development of our hoof trimming chutes.

On this basis the hydraulic front gates are designed to “catch” the animal in it’s movement into the chutes, while the gates open from the inside towards the outside. Therefore the animal is not stopped abruptly in it movement. Furthermore the front gate are individually adjustable in, so the fit both smaller and larger livestock.

The front and back leg suspension are placed at an angles, which takes into account the cow’s natural movement and therefore don’t put extra stain on joints and tendons, because it doesn’t forces these into outer positions.   

All components on the chutes are handpicked to minimize noise, while this can help reduce the stress levels for the cow and therefore create a better cow flow and working environment for cow and hoof trimmer.

Aaron was introduced to the dairy industry in 2000 after serving 4 years in the United States Navy when he took a job on a small dairy farm. It was on this farm that he found his passion for working with cows. Fascinated with many aspects of the farm, he took a particular interest in hoof trimming and decided to start his hoof trimming business in 2004. After completing a course on the Dutch Method Aaron continued to study the anatomy and bone structure of the bovine hoof to refine his hoof trimming style, called “The Balance Method”. In 2014 Aaron founded Midwestern Hoof Trimming School and has since been requested to consult for large dairy farms worldwide. Aaron has trained hundreds of hoof trimmers with various skill sets, from beginners to veteran professionals, on The Balance Method. He has been selected to speak at conferences and universities globally and has hosted workshops in 7 different counties. Aaron continues to exercise his passion as an active hoof trimmer and services several local top dairy farms in Wisconsin.
