[QUOTE="flipper, post: 4386618, member: 78116"] Being a John Deere, man adopting that philosophy would have us ending up the same machine. We had a Westfalia parlour with excellent backup having a handful of engineers living within a 5-10 mile radius so we were confident on backup which was one of the main reasons for going for GEA robots. We looked towards having a routed system over free access, that narrowed it down. The other manual attachment which my own experience ties you down to a parlour routine where the length of time involved manually attaching a group wouldn't be any different from having a decent sized parlour though it is handy for breaking in heifers. We have great back up in terms of having somebody on site relatively quickly they are all good men but the knowledge is limited which isn't a fault of the engineers. My advice on buying a robot is by going onto as many farms as possible, ignore the sales patter, i wish we had ours in writing! There was a website advertising miones along with pictures of farms/farmers endorsing them some of which are or had taken legal action against them, the website has been taken down in the last month.
