30 degree parlour dimensions

[Borney92]

Hi I'm looking to know what the dimensions for a 30degree 3ft centre parlours are, specifically the cows standing area.
Is 67-68 inches from rump rail to the wall to much space for 600kg hol/fr

Thanks

From memory, I’m sure our old 3o degree were a foot narrower than the 50 degree which is 6’6” so you’re not far out. Assuming you’re putting feeders in, it is possible to tighten them up a bit if you’re able to move the mangers back a bit.

I'll measure mine in the morning if I remember

Hi thanks for that.
Do you mean to move them back and few inches along the wall or put from the wall?

If they can be moved back along the wall it will tighten the cows up a bit, wether it’s possible will depend on the feeders and how feed is delivered to the troughs,

Yeah that's what I thought of doing. Haven't fitted the feeders yet, so could do this.
