Spray lines in a swing over

[Headless chicken]

We have got an ambic spray line with 4 droppers in that runs down the center of the parlour.

I wante to run a line either side but was told by installer better down middle so that's where it went. Wasn't so bad before but added acrs and now a real pain. So where are your spray lines? Don't want to put them down the side if it's going to be rubbish.

Have ours down the middle, a dropper every 3 or 4 units. Pit only 1500 wide so works well enough. There is plenty to get tangled up though, with acr cords and volume washer pipes.

You will need to have them dropping at the hinge of the swinging arm,I feckin hate the coils have thought of having a retractable coil or two but would need to be teat dip proof.

That looks like a good idea jimmer. Not sure if it's even worth doing anything with though I may just stop post spraying.

have a spray line at either end of the parlour and use it to refill the hip sprayer

I use the up spray bottles from Dairy Spares, they don't cost much, less than a tenner each so far cheaper than an Ambic, probably less than the annual running costs of an Ambic as i hear parts, guns etc are expensive and there's nothing to get tangled up in the pit. I'm convinced low tech is the way to go.
