[QUOTE="Peter, post: 8522567, member: 548"] Lots of valid points brought up above. What end of the country you in? Just wondering if I would know your local dealers. Pros and cons to both ways. Just think a head into the future. Plan for the expansion. Start with one with the slot planned for the second, third. Many farms in my working area have started with bare minimum, then added the second, third, fourth ( a couple of farms started with one and are now up to 6) Think of 5-10 years down the road. Think in terms of litres of production rather than numbers of bodies. When I started with Lely in 2000 the goal was 30kilo average. Now it is 40 to 45+, if not getting near that, look for what is not working. Investigate the dealer history, support and service techs. Just because they are close does not necessarily mean? Had a high turn over of staff? Spend some time with their longest running robot farms. Good time of year to be doing your research. I will be back with more thoughts for you. [/QUOTE]
