WANTED Portable milking machine for cows

Apologies if I'm listing in the wrong place. Looking for a secondhand portable milking machine, only need a single bucket but double fine at the right price. Live Mid Wales so Shrops etc ideal, don't want to travel too far. Thanks.

There was one on FB a couple of weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it. However, I did find this, in Cardiganshire ??

 
Did you buy a milking machine? It's way cheaper to rig up a small vacuum pump and motor on a 3 pin plug, but obviously not very mobile. If you get a new Turkish one from TG or anywhere else , be aware that the clawpiece , liners as supplied,aren't ideal. (Tbf, that's a pc way of saying they're a bit crap.) I dumped those bits straight away and put better ones on. Also be aware that the pulsators don't like cold weather and need keeping in the warm..

Took your advice and bought a Kurtsan. And yes you were right.....the clawpiece liners are a bit crap but other than that it's a crackingly simple bit of kit :). Can I ask what make you replaced them with? Will keep the pulsator wrapped up when it turns cold. Really appreciate the advice thank you.
