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!

 

[Coo man]

Should of put a rotary in at the start !

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

With 40% grant on new, will 2nd hand sales be difficult?

The puddle between you and thewalrus would make it a bit more difficult

Have you decided what make of parlour to go for yet? Hope it all goes well for you, don't forget the slat/ panel men when you're building the shed and collecting area

My ever increasing winter bias in calving makes it even more difficult!

I understand that the grant is eligible on robots less than 5 years old which ours are.

Should be able to get them on the lorry with the robots. I'm sure thewalrus won't charge you much!

Or maybe he'll throw them on FOC if I buy one of the robots?! Don't want it escalating into a bidding war though!

Leader funded ours and they are more than 5 years old.

You won't get a grant on a hp ageement as you need to own equipment.
