Tractorman810 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 ok going to look like a pillock now, but not being a dairy man, if the milking stuffs in the center static, and the cows are on the turntable bit? does that turn all the time, or just to let them all out once milked? if all the time, how come they don't get a few bits pulled of when the hoses get tight ??? sorry, but i have never seen a rotary parlour, just herring bone or similar ones so sort of lost on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It spins quite slowly, the cows learn to walk on and they back off when they get to the end of the round, it takes some training but they get use to it, slowly Hope that helps Looking good fm, im realy liking this set up looking smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
