DAP £575 last week part load.

Bought a new KT407, been very good so far.

Sorted now thanks.

This thread is very interesting to me as a dairy farmer just about to install 70kw of panels on an East/West roof, the logic being that we will get more early and late as that is when we use the most electric, we are also going to put a new feed into the farmhouse from the farm so we can utilise...

Can have secondhand ones delivered for £15 with new straps so less than that.

If anyone else has any Delaval transponders they are looking to sell, I could do with another 50 at least. Thanks

Having just bought a new Kramer Kt407 after multiple JCB’s I am very impressed.Yes joystick does take some getting used to but the hydrostatic gearbox is so smooth compared to a torque converter. Hydraulics if anything are a bit to fast but you can turn them down.

I’m looking for a secondhand Kramer 457/557 with under 4000hrs and in VGC. Thanks

I’ve just installed three new heat recovery tanks and there is no electricity used, they have no moving parts, pumps etc. electric use has dropped by just over 20%

They were made by John Sheppard feeders, he made the tin doors and loads of other stuff here. Great firm.

Two Delaval DVP pumps here one is ten years old, no trouble at all with pump, have had the vacuum sensor fail once.

Been using Delpro for two months now after changing parlours, has taken a while to get used to as we were running Alpro on a simple basis. Delpro wants you to input large amounts of info that I don’t need or want, but starting to find ways around it slowly.

Hi, was wondering if there is anyone on here running an Optum and what there opinions are, they seem to be relatively good value secondhand with 2000hrs on them. Main jobs would be power harrowing, mowing and tankering. TIA

Fibreglass been in for nearly twelve years, was good for about eight years then started to come away hence my thinking of not rendering the blocks to provide a good key.

Looking at wall coatings for a new parlour, previous one was done in fibreglass which looked perfect to start off with but is now starting to come away from the walls in various places. The walls are going to be built from blocks and possibly rendered although I quite liked the idea of not...

I’m currently looking at either a new rotary or two herringbone parlours, was wondering what sort of average throughput you are getting and what kind of pre milking routine you do, TIA

No wagon here, we feed 2kg of protein rough mixed in with the maize and grass silages, cows eat all the cake before they’ve finished milking so it is not a problem from that side but probably doesn’t help them exit fast, I have tried feeding a higher base diet and less in the parlour but feed...

40/40 just gone in not far from me, proper routine doing 120 an hour. Ok but not going to shorten the day much.

Staff wise I employ four full time at the moment so it’s not quite that simple when taking into account days off etc, I’m 44 so am not quite retiring age yet, I have three boys but not making to many decisions based on what they end up doing or not doing.

They have and one of them has two parlours side by side and says it works well, my staff are not just robots but if they are milking for large periods of time I don’t expect them to deal with all issues that happen during milking until afterwards. I have spoken to someone who has done some...
