JFC Milk Cart

[Fragonard]

Hi, we are thinking of buying one of these. Any advice please?
Thanks.

I had the basic one with mixer but no pump. Worked well and we just mixed up the batch, wheeled to the calves and used buckets to dispense it. We have now upgraded to a Volac Urban Milk Shuttle which is a different beast. Temp controlled, driven wheels and pumped out in measured amounts - every calf gets the same amount of milk every feed.

We’ve got one without the pump or mixer. Essential bit of kit for us, easier to keep clean with no electric components

We started with a 100 litre Wydale mixer and now we have two 170 litre JFC Carts as well with out the pump which we use with our two heatwave milk warmers. Easy to move around as they have four wheels, pretty easy to clean and mix really quickly and thoroughly.

Does the milk stay warm for very long once it’s mixed?

We have a 170 litre Jfc with mixer with dispensing gun fed 60 calves tonight 39.8 c when I started the last milk out 37c all done in 26 minutes. A brilliant bit of kit no more mixing and carrying buckets the display says 76k litres in 12 months but 15% of this would be washing out we had put 11 ton of milk powder through it in 12 months upto the beginning of October. £1700 well spent.

Are you feeding calves with your Heatwave machines ??

Did you get the heater that goes with it?

 

[Scu6499]

No we have a 120 litre hot water heater which heats to about 75 c from the heater it run through a thermostatic mixer valve with a cold supply delivering water to the mixer at around 42c it sounds very elaborate but it was all bought off eBay for a few £100

Hi I’m currently looking about purchasing milk kart with mixer no pump. Wydale 110litre (£600) or jfc 170litre (£960). Both prices exc vat. You have both is the JFC worth the extra money? Considering spending extra money for the ease off mixing 1 bag off milk (no measuring/splitting bags) on first mix. And less too measure on 2nd mix. 80 calves too feed. Possibly sturdier with 4 wheels. Thanks in advance.

didnt even read the listing to be honest , just the price , bought a new one back in 21 for £320 plus vat from local
agri supplier , 2 wheeled and fitted with mixer looks like they have taken quite a jump in price

We took the jump from the 2 wheeled with mixer to the 4 wheeled bugger one with mixer, pump and dispensing gun. Game changer for me wouldn’t have been able to do 300 calves lifting buckets twice a day this autumn.
