Crustbuster
The Crustbuster pays for itself quickly through major labor savings and improved flock performance. By breaking up hard-packed crust and restoring airflow in the litter, it helps reduce ammonia levels, improves bird comfort, and supports more consistent production—all while eliminating hours of back-breaking manual work. Built for high performance with minimal maintenance, the Crustbuster is engineered to stand up to daily use in demanding poultry house environments. It connects directly to any Standard Class II 3-Point Tractor Hitch and needs at least 45 horsepower to run with no special tools, no modifications, and no extra equipment required, making it one of the easiest, most efficient upgrades a grower can add to their cleanout routine.
DB-2 Housekeeper
The DB-2 Housekeeper is engineered for the dedicated one-to-six-house grower who needs power, reliability, and efficiency without oversizing equipment. Designed to perform in tighter house dimensions and operate with tractors as small as 60 HP, the DB-2 delivers big performance in a compact package. Its versatile design allows operators to switch from de-caking to total cleanout in minutes, making it one of the most adaptable and efficient litter management machines in its class.
