H&L milk taxi or Urban milk shuttle?

Had thought about one until the price came in! I’ve bought a Wyevale mixer and splashed out on a deluxe white bucket with a pouring spout from RS components (£30+). Works just fine, all for less than £500. Ok, motor drive would have been helpful with the hill we live on, but I can live with a bit of effort.

How do you warm the water? We are thinking of the JFC Milk Cart but would have to have the electric warmer that goes with it not unless I can think of another way.

We have an instantaneous water heater. One of the advantages of having three phase electric. Low heat setting gives water at around 40*C. Bought it off eBay, it’s a bit slow as something inside has restricted water flow, I think it would be a good idea to get another one as a backup.

I take it these would be no good for me when I'm feeding calves in 3 different steading? How stable would it be to move around with a bike trailer or loader bucket between yards?

Not great would be my opinion. How about an atv trailer type with the Honda engine pump/mixer.

Make your own water heater. Ibc wrapped in insulation with an immersion heater in the side

Maybe in a bike trailer, if it was well strapped in, and drove steady.

Talking of JFC, anyone know anything about their automatic feeder? A couple getting fitted in this area.
