[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 8037495, member: 81760"] My 2 pennies worth I can just about milk 100 cows in an hour with the 10:20 here BUT that involves me running around like a mad man and no slow cows coming in opposite to eachother, no fidgety heifers or 5 fresh cows on the same side etc. However I could do 75 cows an hour with my eyes closed I would love something like a 15:30 BUT imo, if you're doing the yields you are with the teat prep you are, you would need some sort of help via automation with something like adf clusters, you would easily do 100 an hour then imo. I've milked in a 14:28 and found it was too big for one person without any help from equipment which led to cows not walking out, qnd shitting everywhere which in turn led to me having to wash down which in turn led to more sh!t (the more you use a volume washer while milking the more sh!t is made imo) I love the clusterflush. As an example I have one cow who has high scc, she's going as a cull cow when she finishes her lactation (still milking well) because of the clusterflush she's much less likely to be passing that to other cows in the parlour Auto wash is awesome I don't care what anyone says, you're all welcome to your opinions but mine is that auto wash should be included on all new parlours and I miss that feature the most from the 14:28 I said about [/QUOTE]
