I got the flaps made up with a stainless steel specialist on Monday and they cost 20 euro each. You get into a routine now when you get to a cow with mastitis. You make sure that switch is not going to let milk through and then put cluster on cow and then you have to look at switch again when you put the flap down. So then when taking off if you happen to be outside and rush back in and there's a whole row of cows waiting for clusters to be taken off. No matter how much of a rush you're in or thinking of something else. If the flap is down over the switch you know leave milk in jar get bucket empty jar rinse jar and cluster and off you go again.

I was looking at youtube for ideas and came up with something to brake up the stone a bar with welded spikes at the front and some angel Iron frame behind to level the stone. It's something I'm planning on running over the lane a few times per year to keep it in some sort of order. Would I be better making something I could pull behind the tractor with lots of weight on it or a 3 point attachment ? There's plenty of stone on the lane and it's just compacted over the years.
SCOL wrote: » Yes, something like that. 3 point attachment or just pull it behind the tractor ? If I just pull it I can load it up with weights as it's only a ferguson 20 or would It be better on the 3 point attachment ?
