antg 1,765 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Couple of lads PM me for some pics why so wide ?..what sort of speed will it get up to ?...cheers i was thinking that. the one ive got is only half the width of that. maybe you could put a partition and run two at the same time Quote Link to post
Great White Hunter 78 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 The walker in the pics is a two dog the partition is not in the photo but he also makes 3 & 4 dog machines . In my line of business we do conveyor parts so i supply my mate with most of the parts and he welds up the frame and fits the parts . the belt is a PVC belt with a friction resistant bottom which can be expensive I think the belt in the picture is £200.00 . There is a frequency converter linked to the motor which controls the speed it will do a good steady run i guess about 10 to 15MPH top speed He sells about 10 to 15 unit a year the one in the pic he sells for £1100 pounds stg Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,863 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Be jaysus thats a fair bit of cash.A certain person contacted me and tried to buy mine from me for 400,told me I was a hungry hore for asking more,even though it cost me almost 900 euros,some people!I just dont know.

mole trapper 1,693 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Stupid question , maybe, but why do you need treadmills, why dont you just roadwalk your greyhounds like the old days. Quote Link to post
Guest Eamon.Mc Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 £1100 is very expensive, http://millmaker.**"£$%^&*(50.com/index.cgi check these out it costs about £600 and that's shipping costs also. They are free running so they will go what ever speed the dog does. Quote Link to post

They are free running so they will go what ever speed the dog does. the only trouble is mate...they are shit !!...seen a few and they were certainly not free running...apparently they have made a few changes to them now and they are slightly better....still a lot of difference in a free running slat and an electric...in price as well.

jigsaw 11,863 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Mole trapper if you lived in our country you'd have to have 1,if its not drizzling here its absolutely pouring down,they're handy for the really wet days but road work and a gallop through the fields is a far better job.They do have their uses though.
