graham Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 hi kevin the speed is variable some cows that are giving a lot of milk you may have to stop to let her finish but most of the time they have finished , the person milking sets the speed to there own pace ,all the cows have collars on so the feed is metered out to there requiment they work very well this type the cowman stands inside the parlour some are called external milking parlours they are not so easy to use and are not very cow freindly . I know of a farm where they put one in about ten years ago, then ripped it out and put in a large herringbone instead there has been three taken out in sussex in the last four years but have all gone back in on other units but they was all internal milkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 thanks sean the rotary parlour the main benefit is it is virtully non stop once the first cow has entered they just walk on go round time they get to the exit they are milked and just walk off. unlike the heeringbone parlours where the cows stand behind each other once milked you have to get say twelve cows out and another twelve in it all adds to the time of the job , the rotarys are mainly for the large herds that one milks 340 cows twice a dayit takes two hours to milk them each milking there are hour meters on the pumps that drive it and on the clocks they say it has run for 13,000 hours up to now very busy bit of equipment , hope that explains a bit mate cheers for that info mate, guess it does make snece for a larger herd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
