Bobcat Telehandler Saves Time & Money in Manure Handling

Posted: 15 November 2024

An investment by David Derenne, a poultry farmer in Finistère in France, in a new Bobcat TL30.60 compact telehandler for manure handling and loading batches of chicks and chickens, has allowed him to optimise his working time and to no longer need the services of contractors. 

It was in 2018, when he added an additional 2000 m² poultry building, that David Derenne considered purchasing a new compact telehandler. On his farm located in Langonnet in Finistère, the handling work had previously been done by contractors.

By comparing the purchase price and what it cost me to hire contractors to empty the manure and unload the chicks, the investment seemed worthwhile. Especially since the machine also allowed me to save time on other farm tasks.
