Brilliant to see them in action are you looking at others as well as it's a big investment and look at the back up you get is very important Thanks for taking us along 👍👍
In the netherlands are the numbers of sold gea and Delaval robots not that great. Its mainly LELY robots, they are great, but quite expensive, but still better than delaval and gea imo. You still have boumatic but i have never seen one, or heard a farmer milk with them. My favorite and its upcoming is the Fullwood JOZ merlin M2. A single robot cost 80 000 excl vats, its easy to maintain, straigh forward not to many bells and whistles, silent, fast connecting and reliable. One downside their online managing program is dogshit and very outdated
Very interesting and slightly different robots but if your going down the robot route the the most important thing with any robot is service and I really can’t emphasise that enough and don’t be tempted to choose a cheaper robot as the saving over 15-20 years is very little per month. You run main brand tractors so why would you go elsewhere?. Having cows stood around while some buffoon that was employed because he or she has a driving licence but literally no mechanical/electrical skills but is learning on your robots at your cows expense and your pockets costs is very IRRITATING . With your location I’d seriously have red robots and would be more than happy to buy second hand ones and enjoy the saving compared with new. I actually run blue ones and have changed our servicing company recently and the technical abilities of a well trained and robot enthusiastic technician really shows through. How come a 5 hour trip is needed each way to look at robots as your in a dairy area? Sorry for the negativity but just trying to give some input. Keep up the good work and really can’t wait to see more of the shed etc. Cheers
If you go lely be prepared to sell a lot of cows as you will be told they aren’t robot friendly, our gea bots can cope with most udders very quickly as you saw here.
Nice Video Robots look good having the cows up on the step like milking in a old abreast parlour interesting seeing robots in action Thanks

Yes. These robots were very interesting to see tho. Some cool features
Maybe check the used market. There are 3 lely a3 for $20k us and a gea with feeder and computers for $70k us near where I live.
Never mind, found out, it a milking machine.
