How much?£££
Lely discovery slurry collector
- Thread starter Chips
- Start date
Im not sure of price, its being trialed on a new flooring system for cows.
Dont own a robot scraper but if I was to purchase id buy a JOZ. Friend has one with a 2.2 metre blade on it, it takes a similar width to most tractor scrapers. Im not sure if the machine in the video is available in the UK yet.

Yes I thought the flooring looked interesting. It appears to be some sort of matting that allows the urine to pass through leaving a more solid muck that can be collected by the robot. The video seems to be showing heifers but they are trialing it out with cows at the Dairy Campus in Holland. In this situation it is being targeted as a welfare flooring with the added benefit of lower ammonia loss as urine collected separately. They claim lower cost I guess through no cubicles and it can be added to a flat concrete floor.

One been working 9 months near here. They are delighted with it, once the inevitable teething problems were sorted.
Needs 1/2 a man less now to run the place
What length of solid passage can the collector deal with?

We are possibly looking at one for next year, reports are generally positive round here, I think 800m2 is the max area it will cope with but needs several grids around the area to deposit it's load to gain max efficiency
Do You have any idea of any problems they have had with the collector? We are gonna have any other equipment from Lely, so we will try to manage with any major maintenace contract with them.
How much more expensive would scrapers of been, i thou rope would’ve been cheaper?
They were within 500€ from each other, but the major problem was the layout on our barn, whould have needed quite alot of extra lot of digging and concrete to make scrapers possible. I can make a drawing later to show you. If I remember correctly the collector was 24 000€

Do you know what kind of bedding they use? We are fancying using straw, but they recommend that bedding should not be Any longer then 30mm for the collector and I have not found Any information what you could expect with a Baleshredder e.g. Teagle 8100 or Mchale c460.

We zero graze and they are not sure it will like the grass, I don't think sand is compatible with it as it builds up in the bottom of the collector
We had to fill in a questionsheet to be allowed to place an order on it... And One of the questions were if we used sand

Think some minor modifications to the shed to allow it a clear run, nothing major
They use sawdust / lime to bed with.
Looking at the promo video gives the impression it will work best with "wet" slurry
Would have thought chopped straw would work till the day it trys to suck up a lump ........
