Hey Robert! Thanks a million for your comment. So glad you like the channel - nice to hear that from a former dairy farmer. Hope you are enjoying the retirement 😊
tip, next time u programm a route like this, follow wall near 1/2meter to the edge, then new point "straight end", so the discovery can manage turn by itself some time it will be 50cm some time it can be up 95cm when it is slippery
Thanks a mil John 😃 Not unless there’s torrential driving rain, they stay dry for the most part. The Lely scraping in front of them on a consistent basis helps also 😊 We’re very happy with them.
Thanks Michael 😊 No not too bad. SCC is staying around 90-100 so we are happy with that. We actually just treated a heifer this morning because she had one quarter that is high SCC but apart from that not too bad. Hopefully it stays that way 👍🏼
Hey Alex 😊 We personally love the robotic scrapper. It has saved us a lot of time, money & hardship! We used to manually scrape the passageways and it was very labour intensive. The robot suits our system because all our passageways have slats so it can keep the place very clean. We also find the cows are cleaner as a result because they are not dragging dung up onto cubicles with their feet. The odd time the robot will get stuck & we will have to manually drive it back to it’s charging station but this only happens about once a month and is usually as a result of us not cleaning the sensors or a cow pulling out silage in it’s way. Apart from that, it will work away without much human intervention at all 👍🏼 I hope that answers your question 😊
Just discovered your channel...love it! So informative and I admire your strict regime and hard work. (Retired dairy farmer Robert)

We really enjoyed that, fair play to you both 👏
Thanks a million Adrian & Co, really glad ye liked it 😄👍🏼
Please do a machinery and farm tour, I absolutely love your setup ❤️
That was a laugh,the poor old thing confused the sh1t out of it 😂
Haha I know right!! 😂 She was fairly relentless about getting around that wall 😅
You can change the tire diameter, bit bigger and everyting is good
Thanks for the heads up Rick, pity we didn’t realise this before we took the long route to get there 😆 Not to worry, we’ll know for next time 😊
Great video, please keep the videos coming.
Thanks a million Rob, will do 😄👍🏼
Waking for the robot to get to that point would drive me crazy. After the second time I'd be bored. Lol great video guys. Keep them rolling. 👍
Haha I know I thought we’d never get there 😂 Thanks a million Lee, delighted you liked it 😊
Great video again
Thanks a mil Cormac, glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks a million that’s super to know for next time, really appreciate that tip 😊
Great videos ! Do those”kennel” /semi-outdoor cubicles up against the stone wall get mucky in wet weather?
Thanks a mil John 😃 Not unless there’s torrential driving rain, they stay dry for the most part. The Lely scraping in front of them on a consistent basis helps also 😊
We’re very happy with them.
@@keanefamilyfarm that’s great to hear! Ye have a savage set up well done😃👍
Thanks John, really appreciate the comment & support 😄
Nice job any problems with cows once a day , SCC , mastitis etc
Thanks Michael 😊 No not too bad. SCC is staying around 90-100 so we are happy with that. We actually just treated a heifer this morning because she had one quarter that is high SCC but apart from that not too bad. Hopefully it stays that way 👍🏼
What speed is your discovery doing? Turn it up to 300 if it's not already
Thanks for the tip John, I don’t think she’s up at 300 at all.. probably why that job took us half the day 😅
What is your personal opinion about this robotic scrapping. Is it effective? Will it do it alone with out any human intervention?

@@keanefamilyfarm thanks for your reply
