Mobitron stanchion
HOW IT WORKS...
The Mobitron is a computerized
monorail-mounted feeding car
that will automatically deliver
feed to your cows. Under its
own 24 volt DC. battery power,
the unit travels throughout the
stanchion barn delivering a
precise, preset amount of feed
to each cow. When the unit has
completed its run, it returns to
“home base” where it
automatically recharges Itself
for the next feeding.
But that’s just the beginning
Because the Mobitron is
designed for maximum results,
it offers features and benefits
conventional feeding methods
SINGLE OR
DUAL FEEDING...
The Mobitron can feed either a
single or dual ration, depending
on the individual requirements
of each cow in your herd.
It does so at a rate of
5 1/2 Ibs./mm./dispenser.
Feed dispensers have
built-in agitators.
