What does the buffer tank do- is it like a "receiving can" on a conventional milking plant?
Some incredible set-ups in your past pictures, I thought an 80 point rotary was impressive :eek::)
Buffer tank is only receives milk when main tank is being emptied and washed on pick up days
This is 800 gal. Get lots of milk from 10 robots in two hours. Big tank is 5000 gal, a second one will be beside later on.

Damn, no French...
Ta, nice looking bison farm job on there(y) got a pile of stuff to do here before I go off job hunting though.
Only the one province Quebec you would need french.all the rest not needed. Though if you landed on an English speaking farm (which most do) you could get along fine. I don't speak a word a word of it. Great cause they can give me sh*t all they want and I haven't a clue what their saying. I just smile a lot. :):):scratchhead:

Couple from last week. We were on days working near Padworth on a blockade of the Newbury to Reading line.

We installed the masts and the boom then all the small part steel that will eventually hold the wires

While the lads were doing that we took the big artic crane further up track to install this 4t mid point boom. This is half way down the wire run and stops the tensioners fighting against each other. Unfortunately due to a delay in this being delivered the other lads caught us up so that’s why there’s so many machines and people around [emoji16][emoji16]

We try not to lift over machines but the 2 nearest the camera are man basket on cranes due to how far from track that the masts are so we left them set up ready to land it as soon as it was guided over the masts
