How much would a robot cost to get installed?

Ask Jim Irwin. He's your lely dealer and would be ideal if you wanted to put one or two .. or six through finance etc.
If you want his number, PM me
I will say that they ,move very easily as we shifted one to a new shed & had it running within a few hours

Why are you selling? I'm not buying, just nosey!

First up, let me say that robots milk cows well & cows love them for their repetitiveness (mode) of action
We are selling for 3 main reasons:

1) We have taken on another farm so doubling our acreage
2) in light of (1), we are expanding and it will be cheaper to do this on a rotary than adding more robots
3) we are going to have more of an autumn bias which we cannot do with robots as they are limited by time/number of cows
