Jfc auto calf feeder.

It seems to tick all the boxes.
Can anyone see problems.

What has it to offer over the rivals? Just gave a glance at it, thought it was an ugly looking yoke but that wouldn't matter. Not looking as have a lely but better on offer now I'd say alright ie dual hopper, electrolyte feeding etc

I had a quick look at it too. It seemed all moulded from the one part so easy to clean. Not much use to me with my sucklers.

Mad money, you can buy the Volac systems for a fraction of that price. Theirs a company in Canada making them for less than $1500. Don't know if they are in Europe.

Volac urban or Forester technic with same spec will still cost you 10K or over. Dairymaster one is 13k too. You should start importing those Canadian ones!

I agree it's well spec'd against the other brands, but it doesn't look to be value at 14 grand + vat. Being honest if I'm spending that money I would want some serious stainless steel and not an item made from plastic.

Yes plastic may be sufficient but is it what the customer is willingly to pay a premium for.

€2600+vat for each extra station on lely/volac forster tecnik but you'll still have only 1 mixing bowl so jfc could be more economical if you needed 4 stations. Always plan to have 1 training station in set up for max 10 calves and a max of 25/30 calves on each other station would be my tuppence worth.

Would it tip over and get phuqed around like the water teoughs?
