[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 7722812, member: 1008"] I have taken 4 out now, the first in 1990!when we went into milk, the next about 12 years ago when we put in a new parlour, another a couple of years ago as spares/to extend the existing one and one earlier this year for a mate. I haven’t remotely considered trying to put one back in, the newer type parlours like we have now, not even all the guys working for the dairy engineer tackle the wiring of them and the control boxes have to be programmed up to their position in the parlour, so it’s a job way beyond my pay grade. 😜 Would quite happily tackle taking another out now though as I know pretty much exactly how dairy engineer wants them taken out, he says it’s cheaper in the long run for time installing and long term reliability to re wire as new so we just cut wires, but there are some wires you just don’t cut, and knowing which ones is important. Speaking of which taking one out in the spring, farm manager assured us all the electric was off but that the sparky would be around later if we wanted him to check. Another sparky had disconnected everything a few days previous so this one just had a quick check then proceeded to cut the incoming cable and ............BANG.............Ooops, glad that wasn’t me.
