Dual-action calf puller designed to be operated by a single person. Provides straight, consistent pulling action on an extended 77-inch pole, eliminating the need for repositioning chains. Deep grooves on the pole prevent slippage. Made from heavy-duty solid steel for the strongest product available. Includes pole, ratcheting pull mechanism, breech and web strap. Bolts and nuts will not loosen during use.
Labeled for: beef and dairy cattle
Species: cattle
Thread rod completely together (any space between rod sections may allow bolt to attach Ratch-A-Pull).Position breech spanner at floor of birth canal on pin bones of cow. Secure location with web belt.
PLEASE NOTE: Allowing the breech spanner to slip lower than the pin bones will dramatically increase chances of damaging your equipment and injuring the calf. (Each inch of separation between chains and rod will decrease bend strength of the rod by over 200 pounds).
Slip breech spanner onto cone-shaped end of rod. Position ratchet close to breech. Attach one chain to each leg as recommended. For easiest and safest delivery of the calf, hard traction should be applied only when the cow presses. Use both sides of ratchet to keep pressure even.
During delivery, position Ratch-A-Pull horizontally at first (relative to standing cow). Gradually angle the end of the pole toward the ground as delivery progresses. The direction of traction and that of the fetus as it passes through the birth canal is in that of an arc. Any pressure used to position rod should be applied at the mid-point of the rod.
Use caution when using Ratch-A-Pull. Too much pressure will cause damage to the calf.
