Would you borrow money for a depreciating bit of kit like a robot? Land I can understand but surely by the time a bots payed for it’ll be worthless?
With the price of all machinery I for one would find it very difficult to not use finance of some description to assist in the purchase.
I may be in the minority but I doubt it.

Potentially it’s me that’s in the minority but it’s one thing we’d never borrow money for here, I’d always wait until I had the funds but to be fair I’ve never spent the kind of cash needed to buy a Robotic Milker.

A parlour would last a lot longer than a robot milk more cows and require less servicing costs. But I suppose you can make anything look attractive if you look at it the right way🤪

But doesn't need a relief milker every other weekend or decide to take a lie in on Christmas morning with a fat head:ROFLMAO:

But then again not many relief milkers turn up at 2am, pull a few pipes off and phone you to tell you they've done it
