If you already had one robot, some of the cows should be partially trained? Should make things a little bit easier.

Imagine knowing your way around crystal/configurator would help aswell, some of the default settings we had from start up screwed us, worst was the OOPFs wouldn’t feed cows if they were within 6 hours of needing to be milking in the robots!

Now continuously repeat for around a week.
First day started my robots off was 24.5 hours and second day was 22.5 hours and after those I gave up counting but by the end of the week I could sleep standing up!!!!

Definitely. We put the bot trained group on one of the m2s and they flew through and started coming back in almost as soon as we finished..

Yes. Made a big difference as set up was straight forward. I did miss a couple of tag id's but the very sharp fullwood team were quick to remedy.
The shed is almost relaxed this morning..! My wife is frying some bacon up in here too at the moment..which is heaven..

ahhh.. i'm so tired.! Joz scraper arrived yesterday, installation begins today.
Delighted with performace of all machinery after little niggles sorted. But managing a shed this size on your own at start-up is very demanding. My wife joined me for the day yesterday and the ealry hours amongst the cows which helped hugely.
But
I need new wellies..
and .. mobile phones, pockets and slatts.. it isnt going to end well..

For the 1st time in 10 years the robots got confused when the clocks went back. Failure data exchange alarms.

What`s with the long IDs. You still on the old style transponders that get worn out after a while

Got ours changed last year for little money with the small grant scheme along with a Lely buy back deal.
New ones seem more reliable, & quicker read as the cow enters the box
