New palour the best bits

[it's not over]

If you were to build a new palour from different brands which items from what manufacturer would you choose. Reliability and cost should be taken into consideration. I'm talking about clusters,acrs, milk meters,pulsation and feeding. A rump rail is simply a rump rai. I hsve been told that the milk meter and meal feeding must be compatible
The reason I'm asking is I can buy a new palour made up this way hopefully cheaper

 

[More to life]

Got gea meters and fullwood feeders here it works fine you can mix and match might add to installation cost tho

For me metatron12s ,acrs and on off in built.
Gea 200 claws
Waikato shells
Reid slide pulsators
Gea front and back gates
Milfos jet sets with drop down line,my Waikato jet sets were crap



The most reliable milk meter set up the metatron12 1st made in 1983,sadly the newer keypad isn't as good,the measuring flask is still the same.

Dairy Master Stall work, someone elses meters.

Zs you must be thinking of buying of gardiner Stinson, who will make you up a parlour using different components. Works well for a few men I know who purchased of him.

Spot on. I know very little about new palours. Every one I talk to is happy with their palour so they all must be on a par. Ultimately they all milk cows so if I can get a palours cheaper with the best of each it will satisfy me

Gary had a parlour priced competitively for us using ATL meters etc, .We would have went with it but a 4 year old Fullwood became available at the correct money

Rump rail isn't a rump rail though. The thicker diameter pipe is better than older stallwork which is often smaller, and I quite like the adjustability of my dairy master rails, where anything can be moved up or down. I would have Dairymaster rear gates but Milfos or Waikato front ones, Waikato claws have the best warranty I think?

Where did you get the read pulsators from?

Auto lift off is exceptional.

Wouldn't have anything fullwood or dairymaster.

I dont think it will be cheaper if your talking new.

Everyone will want the whole deal, they will all charge extra becasue they are doing bits and pieces and making things fit. The back up will be poor because they will all blame each other. I see what your trying to do but if new i would pick one brand and go with it, prob GEA or Delaval.

I like my milfos claws and I haven't managed to break anything on them in 4 years. I wouldn't touch the fullwood claws unless they've changed the ones I used were terrible for breaking if stood on and a fiddle to repair Mid milking.

You haven't been to stinsons yard, if they ever need to buy a part in they usually buy by the pallet load. Gary is a smart guy.

I've been offered atl equipment from stitsons but is this on quality or simple price. Where does atl fit in the league of palours

 

[awkward]

Atl will be excellent. 2 reasons we didn't put one in. At the time we couldn't afford acrs but wanted to add later and that wasn't going to be that easy and our milfos dealer is insanely cheap compared to other

A friend has ATL from stinsons and is quite happy. I haven't had a close look at but should be ok. Depends on what you want to spend. Theres an almost new 60/60 Delaval with feeders going near me for sale on the done deal for 100k

What's the story with that? A big spend to go and pull it out 2 years later

 

[Agrispeed]

wasn't a lot of fullwood gear ATL?
