Turning to the left?

You learn something new every day.:)

I have a relation with a Pearson one and it turns to the right and he's right handed and you'd just stay on the one spot (rubber mat) because it turned to the right. Well so they say any way. But I can see the reasoning for it.

What make was the one you worked on and did you have to move at all from the one spot?
Perhaps you are left handed and it suited you perfectly?

No I'm a righty, but my hands are strange(strength in my left and dexterity in my right) it was a Delaval in waterford. It was the first parlour I milked in so there was a bit of shuffling involved but there was a speed control knob...a pair of us managed 350 in an hour and a half clean up and all.

I'm trying to remember but I'm sure I worked on one going clockwise. Never had to move really maybe a slight step to the left if difficulty cupping up. I'm right handed. It wasn't the greatest rotary in the world but done the job. Cows off and on can be the biggest issue. Downer cows can be nightmare too.

Definitely better use of your time. No waiting for cows to milk unless you have slow ones. ACR on cups off side and a drafting system means one person can milk during certain times of the year. Expensive though plus I doubt they make sense at small numbers?

Know nothing about them just that two neighbours have put them in recently. One was second hand 8 unit into an existing shed an cost €28k. Other was a greenfield build with all bells and whistles, new collection yard etc and cost €750k ish.

Only starting pricing at the moment. Will have to get planning etc. Will get a grant. Have a 15 unit at the minute with acrs. It's in a building that's over 120 years old

Main things i would push for in a new parlour if i was building and had money for it would be ACRs with cluster purge and drafting gate i think your cows would be well fed so could probably do without a backing gate, this is from someone who would leave out the walls of the parlour and probably put a timber roof on if it was cheaper than steel, different strokes for different folks though

You'll have nightmares tonight and wake up in a sweat thinking the shark is in your bed:D.
Is this the one where the lads go out on the boat and try to kill the shark?

I worked in the hotel where Jaws was filmed. All the crew stayed there. Right out on the tip of Long Island in New York. Robert De Niro had his summer house next door. Best job I ever had.

My wife is not named on the tax registration with revenue for the farm. We changed the jeep and put it in her name as it is far cheaper to insure that way. We now need to fill out the goods declaration form and submit a proof of business from revenue to tax the jeep. Do we need to get herself registered to the farm with revenue or will my name do given that she is a spouse?

No . It's a mix of everything. Westfailia cluster removers. O Donovan feeders. Old alfa laval plant. A good bit of senior stuff there too

How many units do you think you will go to? And are you going to up the spec much from what you have atm?

whelan2 · 29-05-2017 02:33PM

20 max. Although rotary is in the back of my mind. 15is grand at the minute on my own. But 10 rows is a total pain in the hole

Dunno what it costs extra but rapid exit may be worth a look, could go to 24 units then with one person milking, for a few months of the year the cows walking out of the rows is the slowest part of milking. At 10 rows now with 14 units. May look at something bigger in a few years

Fcuk me!!

I nearly turned the tractor over. Tipping along the field to bring the cows and a slugadore opens under the back wheel. Tractor turned over to the right. Barely holding straight and dropped the loader just fast enough.

I'm quare shook now.

Fierce shock to get alright, there a dangerous fecker. Are you on limestone land?

In my experience there either wide and shallow or narrow and deep.

This is a pic of a wide but shallow one that opened up here last year.
