Really ? My robot must be up nearly 80,000 hrs of work , in all that time it has never been out of action for more than a couple of hours at a time , today it performs far better than the day it was built and I will probably run it for another 80,000hrs . I very much doubt you can find a tractor that has even come close to that !Bet that tractor wouldn’t brake down as much though.

I’d say that’s more down to the person than the robotReally ?

Do you happen to know where that is? I need to find something to do for a year.
Whether it is easy or not it still has to be done and that is whole hours of the working day written off where you simply must have a pair of hands on site.
Robots free farmers to get on with the bit where the real money is made.
Ollie I’ve liked some of your thinking over the years but I’m really intrigued as to where you think the real money is made?
I’ve a pretty good idea where the real money is made and I can tell you it’s down to attention to detail, walking away from the most important job on the farm and leaving it to automation definitely is not how to do it.
Your right milking is mind numbing, so make the experience easy and people will focus.
Getting the milk out of the cows is where the money is made, I don't think spending hundreds of thousands plus service costs to do what presently costs comparatively nothing, would be a wise move.Whether it is easy or not it still has to be done and that is whole hours of the working day written off where you simply must have a pair of hands on site.

I don't know any farms that employ foreign milker, there are plenty of local people, I have two and they are ultra reliable and very good at picking up problems.Again if it is so important why are so many farms using foreign workers on low pay to do it? Why are so many farms electing to install robots to do away with it?
You keeping banging on about lack of people to milk cows but there is a lack of people for most jobs,If milking is so important why are so many farms employing foreign workers on fudge all money to do it? Why are so many farmers unwilling to do it themselves?
Attention to detail is important I have never said it wasn't.

Our vet practice has been looking for two people for a year
Accountants have an advert running 24/7 and cant get anyone
Even local shops can't get anyone to stack shelves and Sam with local chippy
Robotic nursesIf there is a shortage of labour in many industries, automation is the way to resolve it.
