Always informative

4:20 talking about the Herd Navigator, they also have specially designed robots for it. 2 different models of it (v300 supra), HN 100 and HN500. would have to check the difference between the two (im a delaval tech at a dealership).

I assume you asked about cost of ownership on all three brands as well, which would be influential on decision making too.

Nice video.

Gea is very impressive robot, my box time on my mono boxes are never over 6:10 on heard doing 40kg average, extremely easy to service and I love the fact you can put a 1% iodine right on the teat end unlike the other brands it sprays...

Think i will get lely, good srimulation and cleanliness, doesnt have to drag the cup across the floor. Great service and smart tools

Which is best Thnq

Going fullwood hope to upgrade to thr m2

Also what's different on the GEA is the robot has a brain box that if it gives problems, the company basically unplug the whole brain and puts another one on while they fix yours, it's a good think so you don't have to wait if something pretty big goes wrong and you'd have dowmtime

Hola! Alguien sabe que modelos de robot usa?

Choosing between those robots is a no -brainer. Go for the Lely. The A5 is a rock solid machine that hardly ever fails on you. Had a different brand of robot before the Lely's and they can break you down mentally and physically .

Nice! What about Fullwood M2erlin?

how many cows per robot per day

Gea is the only with real somatic celcount and not the other's. Also without user's cost for every result. Gea also can give less cross contamination because it does everything with the same cup. At the other robots after cleaning and if the cow lift up their leg they can make the teats dirty again.

I'm milking 100 head and been having a labor issue and been looking at the whole robot thing even though I'd have to redo my whole barn setup since I'm tie stall. My question is what does the robot do with cows with dead quarters or 3 quarter cows with me putting milkers on I can just put a plug in that inflation and leave it off does the robots try to milk the dead quarter or can it be programmed to not put the milker on dead quarters and when you have a cow that has mastitus in a quarter do the robots dump that whole cow's milk or do they separate quarters and dump the quarter with mastitus or does all milk go through the system and into the tank and if you have a cow with a treated quarter how do the robots know their is a treated quarter and keep it from coming into contact with the good milk. Putting the milkers on by hand I'm able to milk bad quarters in a quarter milker and we bleach machine after every cow that has been treated or has a quarter with mastitus. Our milk is lab tested and any medicines found in our milk we pay for a truckload of milk not just our milk and we carry a low stematic cell count and because we can single out quarters when putting milk machines on. I'd like to hear how robots deal with separate quarters because it is a concern I have with going to robots. Can we keep our records for our clean milk we ship and lose production because robots dump a whole cow's milk because of a bad or treated quarter. Any information would be appreciated because no one has ever answered any of my concerns with going into the whole robot game.

in my opinion you have forgotten an upcoming brand of milking robots, the merlin M2 from Fullwood JOZ, in my opinion the best connection system, relatively cheap and not many bells and whistles

what about the fullwood m2erlin

Here in norway we all go over to lely. So much problem with delaval. Yepp they are chiper but lely is quality!

Definitely a5 thing doesn't doesn't give problems an it's indestructible unless you rip of a string witch is highly unlikely n takes a couple minutes to fix also better technology

GEA, após o edition 21 melhor robô de todos,o que mais tem números de Ordenha efetiva,aqui no Brasil ótimos resultados.

Tengo 25 años de experiencia en ordeño Y este sistema automatizado es bastante estresante para las vacas 🐄 el cepillo daña mucho las ubres causando mastitis mucha electricidad agua mantenimiento al sistema no es muy recomendado pero el tiempo lo dirá

Does the delaval and lely not pick up scc per quater?? Really thought that was how they picked up mastitis in a quarter?? Really enjoy your videos BTW!

I have experience with Lely and delaval. It's easyer to keep a low cell count with the delaval. But most important is the quality of the dealer.

I know I want to switch to robots but I think the best way is to build a completely different barn and start over and haven’t decided on which robots i’d install.

Lely is best . Third to none . ?

Dommage que ce n'est pas en français

Lely is more successful in terms of technique and cow comfort, I can drink Lely expressed milk safely, I can't say that for green and blue

Lely all the way!

Only one question: how do they separate The First Milk (preMilk)? And this is a key! Nohow )))) Only one robot can do that correct 😉

VMS. N1💪🏻👍🏻

These systems are all good. They all have there plus points but at 130000 before grant for the milking machine and no other attachments it's still labor intensive 20k for the scraper robot basic model. Drafting gate indoor and out $? Calf batch feeding line $? Feeding system$? The machine isn't economical for one robot milking 70 cows or 65 in full milk cost is more like 180-200000 minum for a set up properly easy management system. Or 2800 per cow 70 Or 5-6 year pay off before maintaining the machine for 300 per month before the cleaning products for it that you can only buy off certain manufacturers so 3600 a year +chemicals. Then for the machine to last 10 years and be wouth notting secondhand cause the manufacturers won't service a secondhand machine. It just dosen't add up figures wise when you look at the overall picture without been blindsided

Lely support service and maintenance are in a different league

It would be a huge benefit for farmer and cow if all manufacturers would share there patent and build it in one robot

On the Lely you can also make manual movements during connection. In addition, if the suction cup falls, it does not reach the ground, because it does not collect dirt or contaminate the milk. You should inform yourself well before making these kinds of videos.

DeLaval seems the best choice with advanced RePro technology.

does anyone know how accurate the progesterone detection is with the delaval system?

Seems pretty gross to have cleaning water and good milk going through the same path on the GEA robot.... I know I wouldn't want to drink that milk

.....so: there is nothing sensible for us, I think! These are all outdated stable systems. I have in mind a system that is not technical - that attracts a cow, a sheep or a goat - with food into a kind of bay. Then the teats are cleaned with a pulsating water sprayer, massaged - and then the milking device is attached and milked. not more. Clearly there should be animal identification - via transponder - and there should be a contactless inspection of the respective animal - also an internal examination of the milked milk, which should be processed immediately on site into hard cheese. The problem: the animals have no connection to humans - they run around freely. And they look for the protected areas of their own accord and can stay there when it rains or have themselves milked. The associated problem: there are terraces with trees and plants - kind of mountains! I think that what I want and know exactly how it should look and function doesn't exist! I'm watching the film here - opening the cabinets is like a journey into a world that is long outdated: today we transmit electrical current and also control data, determined data - via light, laser. All the old technology makes what is shown in the film very complicated and expensive! and complex, time-consuming! and I think: inefficient! You can't monitor and control animals that run around freely by putting them in the stable and planning feeding times and milking times too! As with all animals: they know what is good for them - when kept in stables, underfeeding is generally the norm - but overfeeding would be right! An animal must be able to eat whenever it wants to eat - and drink as well! I'll keep looking: there will be some people who don't stick to the old ways - admittedly, that's what makes them money - but there also has to be something that's quick, easy and safe! I think just to be on the safe side: I'll have to design it myself! Then all the effort spent searching would just be a waste of time! thank you for your information! Kind regards from Berlin, Germany

The GEA seems to really stand out.

Have you looked at stable layout with each robot. I know that lely focusus on free cow traffic, while delaval likes to see forced cow trafic. Also, did you look at how many times a day the cow comes to the robot? For example 3x milking and 5x no milking. If those values are high, the cow likes to come to the robot

Go Boumatic be different

Never did understand robot milking unless you can’t find anyone to manually put milkers on like in a rotary parlor or you’re to cheap too pay someone a decent wage or you just don’t want too pay someone

Only Lely
