friend has got one or two, I think by end of milking you’ll be glad to set it down!!

 

[Conrod96]

Using one of these for about 4 years we’re up in Northern Ireland couple of them about up here

 

[Treemover]

I asked on here about them and I was told they were expensive to run and most had left them once they broke down.

I’m still quite interested as we use straw bedding.

 

[harrysmith]

got one , does a good job but is expensive to run , aftersales service is dreadful they not interested once you bought one and i regret buying it . got a list of parts they sent in the post and charged me for in they first 12 months just to keep it running and the woman in accounts is a bitch!. i spoke to a rep at Dairytech who was very apologetic and said he look into matter and im still waiting ( DONT BUY ONE )

 

[harrysmith]

Other Models are availed !

 

[Conrod96]

We’ve no problems with ours at all don’t find it that hard to run either and does a good job for us all we’ve really had to do is change the brush’s and the bearings

 

[Barmyfarmer]

I had the other model on demo, cr@p, complicated way of doing a job, I had someone timing me and I was significantly quicker with a wet wipe

 

[Kingofgrass]

Used to use one years ago,best thing we did was stopped using it,it’s caused mast and high cells! If your teats are dirty coming in the problem is outside the parlour! ever since we just dry wipe with blue roll. Don’t waste your money and time on one

 

[Sparkymark]

I just had the rival brand on demo.
It didn’t speed milking up at all.
The bad points are if you got a long pit, it makes your arm ache towards the end.
On cows with deeper udders, it can be hard seeing the farthest front tit so you end up leaning in.
The good points are it does get the teats clean. There was less soiling on the milk sock so potentially it could improve bactoscans.

Hi all,
New to the farming forum. Milking in a 36/72 herringbone, spring block calving and we have been pre spraying and wiping, looking to switch to a teat scrubber. What have been the affect on your bacto and cell count please?

thank you

Thats exactly what our neighbour tells me when they used one at the farm he works on !! Spread the enviromental mastitis from cow to cow they thought too !!

I have had one since last summer it makes the job a lot easyer and faster bactosan is at 5, the only thing i think it is fine for the length of my parlour but for a massive long parlour your arm might get a bit sore hold it for as long

Another advantage was for us, there is no green paper waste, so dont need to get rid of bags of that anymore

So you know what chemical they were using in the scrubber?

No I dont to be honest !! I like the idea of one and got excited when I saw the video ,but I am only going by neighbours comments coupled with what King Of G said about them !
in fairness ,if your cows have nice clean bags and you have the right chem , maybe they will be a good thing!!

I wouldn’t go back to it even if it was installed/given to me FOC.to be quiet honest there that bad they should be banned! You see the problem is people don’t realise till you stop using it,yeah it looks great and you can’t knock it the teats look spotless but.... it gives the teat ends some stick! I didn’t mind fixing it in the morning if it broke on the am milking but on the pm milking it ain’t much fun.

Ah I must confess that wouldn't be a problem of mine, OAD milking. At least for this season.
