Anyone have any experience of putting in a used parlour? Would be bought in usable condition? Is it as simple as cutting and labelling cables/pipework in suitable locations and rejoining in new site or does it never end up as simple as that?

I removed a parlor complete, disconnected pipes and eletrics at the front dropped onto poles and rolled out. Loaded with two loaders straight onto wagon. It was an extension so rolled in behind the existing parlour and welded in place. The hard bit was the building work and milking one sided through the original parlour while the work was done. First time a parlour engineer went near it was to test it a few weeks after it was finished.

Are you moving stallwork too ?
Is it concreted in / bolted??
If S/H how long has it stood ??
Most S/H parlours have lacked serious maintanence cos we're going out of milk ..........
Can you give details of what you intend to buy ??
