It reminds me of my youth . . .
We had chains behind ours & we never used kick bars - you just stuck your shoulder in

Nice cows, lack of a routine would do my head in though!

There is a sort of routine when manpower is right for the parlour/milking speed, but the routine is cow-driven rather than milker-driven! If you haven't got your wits about you and don't know your cows (fast/slow milkers) you can waste a lot of time or get in a right muddle. If you get behind you just need to accept it and in effect start again from scratch.

I had a nice Miele 6x6 abreast parlour for 20 years, and it was great.

I just meant that in the OP, there seems to be lots of random wandering about!
