Parlour size for one-man set-up 140 cows

[Real cool]

We would do a refurbished 15/30 with acr - milk meters - feeding for £90,000

Roughly what does a singing and dancing parlour that spec cost these day? I wouldn't have a clue £150k?

£115k fitted, after accounting for grant aid available on the plate cooler, cluster flush and seg gate.

Although I’ve gone for non-ICAR approved meters which saves approx £5k

Will be more now as prices were due to go up 7% mid April. Same parlour would have cost £10k less if ordered before Christmas, that’s the speed prices are moving at.

More money than I was originally looking at spending, but looks cheap against a new 150hp tractor when you compare what it will earn me over the next 25-30 years.

Sounds nice, what make did you go for?

Delaval

A 20:40 Delaval with similar fixtures that you have opted for wasnt much less when we priced it 10 years ago.

Agreed, price inflation on parlour equipment has been less than other items, although that seems to be altering now
