you can take each sample from each teat and squirt dawn soap into sample. if it gets slimy or forms clumps you have issue with that teat. milk it separate. quick easy correct test. it works. they make a tray with 4 dishes so you can put 4 tbablespoon of milk from each quarter. learned this from very knowlegable jersey dairy farmer
Richard Day This is an Interpuls pulsator. It "clicks" twice for each pulsation, alternating between two inflations at a time, instead of all four. So it always sounds as if it is running twice as fast. Thanks.
I believe you are running your milker to pulsate at too fast a rate. My local dairy man informed me to reduce the rate to less than one stroke per second.
+Dana Carey I use a relatively inexpensive US General vacuum pump. It's a 2 stage, 9cfm pump that is 120volt, 5 Amp and 3/4 horsepower. You need a pump that will deliver at least 15 psi of vacuum to run a Surge Milker. I also use an inline vacuum tank to hold pressure in case she kicks off an inflation, so the whole unit doesn't loose pressure and fall off her udder. For this I use a modified propane tank. The inlet comes from the vacuum pump and the outlet goes to the milker. I use an inline vacuum gauge to keep the pressure at 15psi.

It's actually pronounced "sir single" and the pulsation is running a little fast, but otherwise a nice, informative video. Trust me, once you've been whipped across the back of your legs with a surcingle strap, you don't forget it

Dang you make it seem so simple and doable I wanna cow now
Where did you get the milker
Very interesting
Could you tell me more about your vacuum pump. I am looking for one and I'm not exactly sure what I need.

Depending on what your looking for. Nupulse makes a super system
what size is your vacume pump? and brand? thank you
