Milking parlour parts wanted

[Country girl]

We have a little abreast milking parlour (Alfa laval). Does anyone have either of the parts shown below that I could buy off you please? One is a claw (just the top plastic bit will do) the other is a runner part that fits underneath the milking jar

 

[Country girl]

Other part shown here as it didn’t attach to my original post.

Dairy spares do both them

 

[Country girl]

Great thank you

Definately Dairy spares, they've a reasonable online catalogue so you can identify the parts and get the code, but I think you have to go through a dealer to buy.

The plastic tops? We only seem to break them when a cow stamps on them, which is more often than I'd like.

Glad to see you are still going! You had a few bits from us about 4 years ago, near Melton Mowbray.

Hi

yes we are still going strong with the same little parlour. We used all the bits from yours, much appreciated

Look's like your sorted for the claw plastic tops but if you need more in the future I've got some used ones just message me.
As a totally random thought have you considered changing to the delaval harmony claws, we have and find them a big improvement and our parlour would be on similar lines to yours(probably not as good)

Would be identical gear to our 10:10 herringbone which is still in situ. Had quite a few bits robbed off it over the years but might have something of use if you need it.

Can I ask how many you milk in your abreast parlour?

 

[Country girl]

We can only milk 4 at a time. It does the job for now but I know it’s small and old

Doesn't matter about age or size if it does the job , I'm milking 6 at a time and I think it came of Noah's ark but it suit's me. How many are you milking in total and what's your outlet for your milk?

We will have 25 going through the parlour when all the autumn block have calved. We’ve got 15 heifers to come in in the next 18 months so I may need to think about more units or a parlour change but that’s costs money so I’m going to make do with this for as long as I can. How many do you milk?
