Taking out a 5 aside Fullwood parlour

[Bob1234]

Have an old 5 aside fullwood parlour with the jars and feeders etc that I need to remove from a building as we’re converting the shed into cubicles. Am I best to just throw it all in a scrap skip? Or is it worth anything to somebody for spares etc?

What feeders does it have, if they're tidy, they and there stallwork/troughs could be worth a bob or two.

Do you have Blue Fullwood rams working the back gate by any chance?
I'm in need of one

 

[Salt'n'Pepper]

Does it have acrs?
Which type of clusters does it have?
Always on the lookout for spares for our old fullwood parlour-many parts are now discontinued!!!

Scrap it

When I started milking my own cows (17 years ago next month) I went to a farm sale and bought one of these for £10, cut it off at the ground, took it home welded some feet on it, welded a bit on the back to make it longer, and milked through it for the following 11 years.

Ask about, lots of smaller and niche people might be looking for it and give you some cash for it.

Do you have any fullwood combination valves?

I'm interested in a few bits there I can see, if you mind parting with them.

Our parlour was exactly the same as that when we bought it 25 years ago . Think it went in in 1969 -70 Cut it all out and reinstalled it as a mid jar setup(mainly because the foot controls on them rot away ,for the low jars and the metal plates above get worn out and usually have advanced wear on them ! So basically put the floor all concrete and do away with the plates .Then go mid jar or direct to line .We like our jars !!)

Ration Master feeders , vacuum , (self service ,we found ) so we put electric ATL feeders in the loft above and fed them with a centreless auger into pvc drop pipes ,stopped the cows helping themselves !!) They would work but the troughs look steel (they rot badly too)
The stall work on our has been repaired quite a bit (it rotted off at the bottom bars on the back 3 stalls from all the pushing into the space)

Very old school now , but the pump and jars and pipework would be handy for somebody , I dare say

Pulled our ration masters out near 30 years ago,I can still hear the banging the cows made when they realised how to self feed?had one that the bellows went on so stuck a bit of baler twine onto the little lever underneath and into the pit,I bet it wasn’t a couple of days till one cow knew which position to be in to pull the string.
