Cracking on then.What make have you decided on? Have you managed to access SPG money?
Two members of my discussion group are putting milfos /GEA rotaries in,one 54, the other 40. Both happy that GEA are supplying the electronic/computer bits of the parlours. Emrys is a happy man!64pt milfos/GEA hybrid, some whistles and a bit of tinkly bell
No, had the SPG for Phase 3 ...... this is Phase 4
NZ dollar back in Emrys's favour after their election. This time last year he was struggling to be competitive.Two members of my discussion group are putting milfos /GEA rotaries in,one 54, the other 40.

Did phase 3 include robots? Will you have to give money back if you sell them?64pt milfos/GEA hybrid, some whistles and a bit of tinkly bell

How long is your subway going to be?
I considered using a 40' shipping container
That pipe is 4.5m x 2m diameter (ex Dolgarrog Hydroelectric power station) so sink that and make an access hatch out of block & steps at each end.
40' would be overkill?

Is that a milfos platform and gea milking equipment? What do you think of Waikato? Did you go for acrs and meters and what about post spaying? Sorry about the questions just looking ourselves64pt milfos/GEA hybrid, some whistles and a bit of tinkly bell

When you put the setup in for robots did you make it easily changeable for a parlour? Or is it a major job of changing layouts?Milfos platform which we rate as it has a double H beam between nylon rollers (critically without bearing) spaced at 600mm. GEA are supplying electronics including their backing gate & auto footbath and NEEDAP collars.
Yes to ACRs but no to retention bars as we think our cows on a x3 will milk out before the exit. Haven't gone for auto flush either and are looking at running the cups through a peracetic bath cunning housed between the pre treatment person & the cups on to stop them coming together for a chat!
Meters are not iCAR approved as we don't milk record. However they will read yield and constituents so will give us the info we currently get off the robots. Crucially the meters do not need much in the way of servicing which will be a huge saving over time. Running costs were one of the KPIs we looked at.
We have the ability to both pre & post spray through the iPUD which is also running LED lights so the cups on person knows if it's an attention cow or not. Looking in to ensuring that the teat spray is automatically primed rather than manually primed at the beginning of each milking.
We also liked the Pearson but it was more ££s and the engineer isn't as close as the Milfos guy who is only 30 minutes away.
