Abstract
A wheeled manure-removal vehicle for removing manure from an animal-shed floor includes a scraper assembly for scraping the manure together into a manure-storage space by scraping across the animal-shed floor. The scraper assembly includes a flexible, strip-shaped scraping element which is partly arranged around the manure-storage space and a rolling body. The rolling body extends on a side of the scraping element which faces away from the manure-storage space in order to be in contact with the scraping element at least while scraping the manure together, and has, on the side facing the scraping element, a rolling surface which is convexly rounded towards the scraping element. The use of the rolling body for contact with the scraping element has an advantageous effect on the life of the scraping element on the vehicle.
