[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 4176124, member: 1008"] Benn there, done that, well, sort of. We had a 6:12 with enough length to put an extra unit in, we doubled up to a 14:14 but it never lived up to expectations. We have since put a new 16:32 parlour in which will milk twice as quick as the 14:14 but does take a bit longer to wash down. Anyway, my advice from experience is that if at all possible go longer rather than double up, I know exactly how you feel right now, you're hoping to reduce milking time for little cost and disturbance. It won't cost you a lot to do what you want but I don't think it will gain you a lot either, it depends what your long term plans are. Best place to find second hand parlours advertised is Farmers Guardian although finding an exact match for what you want may take a while. [/QUOTE]
