[QUOTE="Shep, post: 6972026, member: 1549"] I have mine 3 years, brilliant when it's going, but extremely frustrating when it stops. I dread the beep beep beep in the mornings, that means it has got lost in the night, it has to be driven manually to the charger which takes ages, then the battery is down to 30% which means it will sit at the charger til the afternoon and it has been out of action for 12 hours and the house is swimming in slurry and the cows are filthy. After some fettling from lely and a bill for a few hundred, it will work almost flawlessly for a few weeks and it is amazing when it is working, the water spray is very good for stopping the concrete getting slippy especially in the summer. After a period of time it will start to break your heart and there are times when you could set fire to it, it is never obvious what goes wrong as you need an engineer to diagnosis with a laptop and so the cycle starts again, another visit from lely and another bill, it will go brilliant for another while and all will be forgiven and forgotten. It also only seems to give bother when you are under stress, at weekends and before bed time. There are two ultrasonic sensors that the engineers will insist you keep clean, this involves getting down on your knees in the sh!t to wipe every hour, as the dung dries and is impossible to wipe, in fact they are literally impossible to keep clean. Their biggest flaw in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
