2 THE WORLD S BIGGEST SELLING ANIMAL WEIGH SCALE The XR3000 is the ultimate weighing partner. It is an extremely flexible and powerful tool that has the ability to deliver customised reports, analyse weight gains, and make future weight predictions. The XR3000 comes in a standard and a Bluetooth version with the added benefit of wireless communication to Bluetooth EID readers and Bluetooth laptops or PDAs. This weigh scale is 100% water and dust proof and is ideal for large cattle breeders, graziers, dairy, sheep breeders, deer or any other large commercial operation.

User definable data fields: Definable data field names to suit specific requirements. File Data. Three 12-character code fields per file for recording additional animal information, such as treatment. Apha-numeric key pad: Alpha tags, field codes and file names can be used. Large back lit display with light sensor: Large characters make the display easy to read in dim situations. Back lighting automatically turns on or off as light level changes. Drafting (Sorting): Up to ten-way drafting based on weight, weight gain, carcass weight, schedule value and non-weight factors. Custom fields: Provide fast entry of data from pre-set tables.

6 HD SERIES Heavy Duty LOAD BARS IDEAL FOR CATTLE Tru-Test HD load bars are designed for heavy duty permanent installations where extra capacity and durability are required. With a 3000kg capacity the HD load bars are especially suited for use under small to medium size cattle crushes. Their industrial strength construction makes them the load bar of choice for cattle operations where there are severe loadings and high usage rates. The foot assembly design is unique to Tru-Test HD series load bars and sets them apart from the rest. The foot assembly utilises a special load-centering cup to absorb the tremendous side loads generated by large animals running into the ends of crates and crushes, without damaging the load sensing cells. Tru-Test load bars are recognised for their rugged durability and performance in harsh environments. All are made from aircraft grade aluminium and are sealed to keep out moisture. Heavy-duty TPR/PVC cables are a standard feature, which minimise the likelihood of cable damage. Key Features Permanent installation: Designed for installation under crates and crushes. Permanently fasten to the ground without the risk of damaging the load cell. Compatible. Can be used with any indicator in the Tru-Test range without calibration. Corrosion resistant. Galvanised steel housing protects the bar in the very corrosive agricultural environment. Sealed load cell. Protects the load cell against moisture damage allowing the load bars to remain outside under the crush. Heavy duty. Designed for high volume, large weight use within a crush environment. Strong and durable construction ensuring long term reliability. Available in two lengths 800mm (60102) and 1010mm (60202) Tel: Fax: info@ritchey.co.uk web:

7 MP SERIES Multi Purpose LOAD BARS VERSATILE FOR ALL ANIMAL TYPES Tru-Test MP Series load bars are the multi-purpose solution in the range.

They can also be used individually and as a set of four using a Tru-Test load bar adaptor cable. Tru-Test load bars are recognised for their rugged durability and performance in harsh environments. All are made from aircraft grade aluminium and are sealed to keep out moisture. Heavy duty TPR/PVC cables are a standard feature, which minimise the likelihood of cable damage. Key Features Versatile: Can be temporarily installed and when used with a crush or platform can be easily transported between different weighing sites. Compatible: Can be used with any indicator in the Tru-Test range without callibration. Corrosion resistant: Zinc plated, gold passivated load bar housing for additional corrosion resistance. Sealed load cell: Protects the load cell against moisture damage allowing the load bars to remain outside under the crush.
