You will certainly notice a difference. We have had ours 2 years now and still think it’s brilliant. You will soon learn that it gets used even when you have a cow valve and you want to give it plenty of warm water to drink straight away, no more carrying buckets to the cow.
H&L milk taxi or Urban milk shuttle?

Use ours to carry dump milk for bull calves. I hate carrying buckets everywhere

What kind of money are they?
If you can afford one I'm sure a bit more concrete would be a must.
That's what worries me.

Who sells the urban milk shuttle in the uk?
Volac
Been looking at them both but staying with our trusty plastic Wydale. Not spending £6k on a machine that doesn’t keep the milk warm and at a constant temp

What size is your wydale? Looking at getting something similar. Any chance of a picture?

Oh right I thought the whole idea of the machine was to keep the milk warm.
100+ litres. Have a water heater beside it and mix to about 40 degs then bucket out in 10 litre batches. Rear over 200 calves a year nay bother
Livestock Supplies sell them (google Wydale mixer then look in images for a pic) think it was around £500 a few years ago
So did I but they only heat to a set temp so as soon as it’s unplugged it will start to cool. However the temp lose is minimal I suppose and it would be useful to “gun” out an exact quantity of milk but cost is a bit eyewatering

Yeah I have the 165litre one. Just push with a valve at the bottom. Contemplating(I contemplate a lot of things! ) the 220 litre one that has a pump, a thermostat and has a motor for driving it. 4.5k which is a lot of money. But cheaper than a bad back and shoulders I guess.

How well does the wydale mixer keep milk warm? Looking into getting one.

Anyone got on well with the JFC Milk Kart, with both pump, mixer and the additional heater? Been looking for a while and just hoping it will be a good investment for the calf enterprise, making life easier for both calves and calf feeder.
