You spin me right round, baby

Abroad not in the UK. I think the one up the road had Fulton’s equipment on it.

Once again a good idea scuppered by "authority", leaving us at a disadvantage.

Nice farm and smart setup, running a very similar system to yours now. I found what he wasn't doing and the results he was getting was very interesting, if you see what I mean.

Now you've lost me..

I keep hearing about people milking Holsteins in 40:80 sized parlour claiming to milk 200hrs an hour with two men. When you actually either nail them down or go have a look. There’s 3+men, they spend most their time pushing cows and so are only doing 140/hr and then they’ve got to was down a big parlour.

I can milk 200 in the first hour, the second hour only 150 with 1.5men

I've met him but I don't know the chap. I'm guessing he has a second unit now that I was unaware of.

Are you x3 milking?

Yes but averaging 12l a milking

 

[DairyGrazing]

Yes but averaging 12l a milking

33l+ here on x2. Farm in the group is 32:64 but Polish men do the milking and only milking 3 months on 3 months off. Another guy I know is 25:50 adf on 500 cows and he’s gone x3 to get milking time’s down. I don’t want to build something too small/slow the day it goes in.

At the same time I don’t want to burden myself with high costs later down the line.

I’d go for a rotary I think, 25/50 is pretty sore on the body I feel

Given time again, would you have put a rotary in?

It's fine if you work front back front back. But no good chasing clusters
