DESCRIPTION

The Lewis Brothers Chicken Housekeeper No-Dump Series featuring Models HK-3.5, HK-4, HK-5, and HK-5LP is engineered to deliver industry-leading performance, efficiency, and versatility for poultry litter management. Trusted by growers for over 50 years, these proven machines offer a range of capacities, heights, and features to meet the demands of small farms, large complexes, and everything in between.

All four models share the signature 69-inch working width, require only a 60 HP PTO tractor, and are built on heavy-duty frames designed for the toughest litter conditions. The series ranges from the compact, high-capacity HK-3.5, to the hydraulic-enhanced HK-4, to the highly versatile HK-5, and finally the HK-5LP, which delivers top-tier capability in tight or low-clearance poultry houses.

With capacities from 135 to 175 cubic feet, the No-Dump Housekeeper Series increases floor coverage, reduces time in the house, and improves overall litter quality. Optional add-ons including the spinner assembly, solid bar kit, and tandem axle allow each model to adapt to specific cleanout or decaking needs. Whether you operate a few poultry houses or multiple large houses, this lineup provides the efficiency, performance, and reliability essential for modern poultry operations.

Key Features

• All models feature a 69-inch pickup width that increases floor coverage, reduces downtime, and improves overall efficiency in both decaking and full cleanout operations.
