    I'm in New Zealand and just got in from morning milking 308 cows, then watched an Irish man milk cows while I have breakfast.

    The platform's final drive might be a hydraulic clutch(es) which would explain the progressive start. Electric possible as well. That's a lot of inertia to overcome.

    How does the cow get back of this rotary system after milking ? I don't think that it get back just after opening the (door). There must be some electric pulse or signal or something like this that push the cow to get of the machine.

    • @MCMilkingIt
      @MCMilkingIt  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No most cows will back off by themselves. When they do it once they know then. We do have an empty drum hanging down infront incase the cows aren't paying attention

    Some parlour. So the retaining bar is up all the time unless a cow needs a second rotation? I thought it would be down until just before exit

    • @MCMilkingIt
      @MCMilkingIt  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes correct. A lot of other brands use gravity to drop the retention bar every time and the ram to lift it everytime. Whereas here a spring holds it up and a ram brings it down when it is needed. So it's not working as much so less wear and tear

    great video, we are putting a 54 bale waikato in currently which will look very similar to this parlour. would be great to have a video looking at all your rails and locations of rails in the yard for some ideas. at the entrance to the deck do you find cows flow in nice on an angled front or not? we are being advised to have it square but that just doesn't seem logical. would be nice to scratch your head a bit and see what if there are areas you would change or anything else etc.

      Depends on how much milk the cows have and that but usually between 6 and 8 minutes per rotation. Would normally milk 300/350 cows an hour and when really moving can get that up to 400 cows an hour
