Te Pari Lenta Cattle Crush.
Proudly carrying the Made in New Zealand badge, Te Pari says the Lenta Cattle Crush range is the result of listening to the needs and feedback of farmers.
Many of its features are based on valuable input from users in NZ and abroad, making livestock handling easier, safer and more efficient.
One of the standout features of the Lenta range is its hot-dip galvanized steel frame, providing strength, durability and longevity in the harshest farm conditions. The company says this makes it a reliable and cost-effective investment for farmers.
Incorporating non-slip flooring, the Lenta range is available with three different side-access gate configurations, ensuring ease of access and safety for farmers and animals. The head bail of the crush comes with a lifetime guarantee on the lockbox, providing assurance and also demonstrating Te Pari’s confidence in their equipment.
The top of the range MX Crush features an easy-touse parallel squeeze operation, allowing users to easily adjust the crush to restrain or prevent smaller animals from turning around, improving handling efficiency, but also reducing the risk of injuries to animals and the handlers.

With the biannual Italian EIMA machinery Expo less than a month away, Case IH has taken out a Technical Evolution award for the Advanced Vehicle Suspension system available on its Optum 360–440 series tractors.
The Advanced Vehicle Suspension system, available on Optum 360, 390, and 440 models, responds to changing conditions, automatically adjusting how the suspension reacts to absorbs shocks and controlling vehicle movement.
In operation, sensors monitor the vibrations transmitted from the tractor chassis to the operator cabin, allowing the system to adjust suspension damping in real time. The control system incorporates key priorities, such as comfort at lower speeds and stability as speed increases, while also reacting to factors such as lower tyre pressures, where the tyres absorb more of the initial shock.
Case IH said as suspension requirements change throughout the working day, as tractors move between the paddock and road transport, the system manages suspension response in the background as tasks, speeds and conditions change, leaving the operator without the need to make manual adjustments.
Richard Hollins, Optum series tractors global product manager, said: “Pioneering technology must earn its place in the working day. Farmers and contractors will judge an investment by what it delivers, including manageable ownership costs, dependable up-time and the versatility to tackle different jobs. With AVS, we are putting intelligent control to work for comfort and stability, without giving the operator another setting to manage.”
Organised by FederUnacoma, the Italian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Federation, the contest has been part of EIMA since 1986, with the Technical Evolution distinction awarded to products that introduce original improvements to solutions already manufactured or patented.
