HerdMech Self-Propelled Barn Cleaner | Models QF-05 & QF-08 — Yuchai-Powered Manure Collection Machine with Adjustable Cleaning Width

The HerdMech Self-Propelled Barn Cleaner (QF Series) is a heavy-duty, diesel-powered manure management machine designed specifically for cattle sheds, dairy farms, and all types of livestock breeding facilities. With strong maneuverability, a compact yet powerful build, and a low cost of entry compared to alternative systems, the HerdMech QF Series has become a go-to choice for farm operators who demand reliable, efficient, and low-maintenance barn cleaning performance.
Available in two configurations — the QF-05 for small to mid-sized operations and the QF-08 for large-scale commercial farms — the HerdMech barn cleaner is engineered to handle the toughest manure removal tasks with ease, precision, and minimal operator effort.

Engineering Excellence — Built for the Barn
Yuchai Power Engine At the heart of every HerdMech barn cleaner is a Yuchai diesel engine — renowned for its fuel efficiency, low noise output, high power delivery, and excellent acceleration performance. Reliable in all-day heavy-duty conditions, the Yuchai engine ensures consistent performance across every shift.

Loader-Grade Torque Converter The machine uses a dedicated loader-specific torque converter, delivering smooth, responsive gear shifting in both high and low speed modes. Easy to operate, highly reliable, and built to handle the demands of continuous barn work.
32A Heavy-Duty Chain Drive The conveyor system uses a 32A-grade chain for superior load-bearing capacity, extended operational lifespan, and greater durability compared to standard chain systems — minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

Fully Enclosed Double-Seal Bearings & Motors All bearings and hydraulic motors are protected by a fully enclosed, dual-layer sealed design specifically engineered to resist contamination from manure, moisture, and debris. With regular servicing, the system operates virtually fault-free throughout its working life.
Adjustable Cleaning Width — 2,400 to 4,200mm The QF-08 model features a continuously adjustable cleaning width from 2,500 to 4,200mm, allowing operators to tailor the machine to the exact width of their feeding alley or barn corridor. The QF-05 delivers a fixed 2,100mm cleaning width ideal for standard-sized stalls and sheds.

Heavy-Duty Swing Motor — High-Torque Hydraulic System The machine is equipped with a high-torque swing motor with hydraulic transmission for superior efficiency and an exceptionally low failure rate — delivering reliable power to the cleaning and conveying systems under all load conditions.
Loader-Grade Wheel-Side Reduction Drive Axle Using a loader-grade wheel-side reduction drive axle with wide-body loader tires, the QF Series delivers high torque, excellent load-bearing capacity, strong ground grip, and outstanding shock absorption — performing confidently across all terrain and road conditions within farm environments.
8-Ton Forklift Rear Axle Assembly The rear axle is sourced from an 8-ton forklift assembly, offering an exceptionally wide steering angle and high load tolerance. This gives the machine excellent maneuverability even in confined barn spaces while maintaining structural integrity under heavy load.
Arc-Shaped Streamlined Steel Body The fully enclosed, arc-shaped streamlined body is fabricated from full steel plate with large-format CNC laser cutting and precision welding — enhancing structural rigidity, eliminating the cluttered frame-and-panel construction of conventional designs, and completely preventing feed or manure leakage during operation, transport, and unloading.
Auger Unloading System The auger-based unloading mechanism provides simple, reliable material discharge with a compact structural design — delivering consistent unloading performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
