250k for 50 point and 200k for the building
Evo farming are putting in 2 24/48 side by side. 700 cows. 350 an hour. Better than any rotary.

Yes and no. Plenty finished in 5 minutes, others in 10. Some more.....that's the whole point of a rotary really. Your not waiting for 1 cow to finish.... 30 unit though.....problem i see (have it here anyway with a 50 at times) is pushy cows. If the platform is going to slow (and it would be at a snails pace foe a 28/30) sometimes the cow behind the one waiting to get on can start pushing the one in front into the bail where one has just got on (if that makes sense), resulting in the first cow almost ending up in feeders .....nice constant cow flow works well ....Any less than 50 is pointless as it takes the length of time on a 50 to get milked
You need auto I'd for sure so retained cows can go around again and not be fed again if your feeding. Retention bars don't pick up on everything though. They won't know if a quarter hasn't been milked properly or if you missed a mastitis when putting the unit on. You can put more gimmicks on the parlour but then why not have a bigger parlour with no tech and milk with 2. If it's a one man I would go internal.Stinker I realise with a rotary you don't see your cows for long but if you think about it robot guys never really see cows being milked at all. I'd go for a rotary with a good herd management software. That way you can still see the cows twice daily albeit for a short time but then have the software to flag up potential problems.
I have a 40 it's not big enough for high yielding cows. I also don't think its a one man parlour unless your slapping units on and don't care less after that.I'm saying why do a 30 rotary. Rotarys are expensive, go a cheaper parlour at that size.
If you are going the rotary path do a 50-60 min.

Who's starting an arguement? All I've said is the conclusions of other peoples opinions and general observations, nothing uncommon here for sub 30 bale rotaries to retain the yard and dairy but remove the original platform and enlarge it to 40-60 bales. At the end of the day, this is a forum, say what you think, but be prepared to read or listen to other peoples opinions/ideas/reasons, the OP can make their own mind up.Title says 28-30. Why are we bringing up mid 40s to win and argument that is not even being discussed.

Every 20 seconds.Evolution farming say one man in each parlour and to do that output the operator will have to apply one unit every 10.2 seconds . I am sure the operator will be fit as to keep up that rate he will be running and that is not allowing for any problem cows .
One man parlour . I would like to watch and see what routine is employed .
So 3 a min.Every 20 seconds.
So 3 a min.
Includes opening and shutting gates yes.That includes loading and unloading though doesn't it?
Includes opening and shutting gates yes.
Sorry my bad. Combined outputI must of misinterpreted what I had read [emoji106]

Be intresting to see you tag them on the exit race.That seems slow ....

So it depends on the production level. Higher production will take longer to milk and can get away with a bigger rotary.We have a 40 point rotary with one man and milk 6 to 7 rotations per hour any bigger and you have a lot of units hanging idle and cows shitting as they wait to come off
