graham Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 nice pics some new and some old good mixes!!!! there is a good mix kiwinz some are getting bigger and keep machines up to date , the parlour that is in bits is in suffolk and they gave up milk production we are putting that back in on a farm in kent , as for recomending parlours it is nearly always about price and how automatic you want ie milk meters ,cow identification , so prices vary but we work on westfalia equipment and it is very good stuff you need two look at a lot of parlours to get the right set up for you and see if the dealer is near and not miles away , i do not work 365 days on parlours but have put many in along with slurry tanks and atomatic scraper systems but the last six months have not done anything else , and there is a lot still to do at moment including two green feild site dairy units with cubicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
