Just why I'm asking! Ha ha

 

[multi power]

Is that robot thing to push up silage? Seems a good idea to me, don't think he will sleep in or be too hung over on a Sunday morning

 

[Rossymons]

If you have smooth, level floors then they seem a good idea to me. They're pretty heavy things so you dont want them rolling on their side which they can be prone to doing if the surface isn't great.

 

[Clay52]

Yeah if I ever had to push feed up for cows it's something I would be looking into.

Seems like the perfect job to automate.

 

[Ducati899]

what sort of money are they? dad wants one for this winter as he's had enough of going out 10 pm to push grub up when I'm not around

There was a story of one that lost its signal and was found wondering down a road but it may have been pub talk!!!!

 

[bobajob]

Heard that they don't like being run over with a feeder wagon by the student!! Not me, but heard about it happening.

Does it cast its eye over the cows as well?

 

[Thick Farmer]

I narrowed my feed passage down so cows can reach the middle from both sides.

Saves a lot of unnecessary work.

The juno is a great piece of kit costing about £11 k new will keep the silage pushed up but you need to make sure that your concrete is in good order and they dont like concrete sleepers, had one on demo but couldn't keep it on track as the concrete sleepers weren't 100% level lely will do you a 3 mnth no obligation demo if you pay the install costs of about£ 400 they'll sell you second hand ones between 5 and 8 grand

Don't be so bloody practical.

 

[More to life]

I've heard they don't like a big pile of heavy grass silage they can't move it add plenty of maize and there fine.

 

[Clay52]

So what am I missing. If you have such a narrow feed alley that the cows can reach from both sides, how are you getting the feed in there?

[Headless chicken]

Fairly sure he pushes them out and then feeds into it something like a big bunker

at a guess id say no but once he or i have checked round at 8.30 every night he would quite like to switch off unless theres a calver on instead of going back out once more to push the feed up

Are there many available second hand?

Yeah I don't check them at night. I'll check them at night milking then they have to fend for themselves until morning milking. It's already a hard enough job as it is without getting up in the middle of the night every night.
