Efficient milking with Lely Robots and Quality Lely Spare Parts

Lely milking robots have revolutionized dairy farming, with many farmers experiencing improved efficiency and reduced labor burdens. One such farmer is Sascha from Buchholzermoor in Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. With 180 cows, 60 of which are milked by Lely robots, Sascha has seen significant improvements in his daily operations.

Transition to Lely Milking Robots

Sascha and his team started using Lely milking robots in 2014. Before this, they relied on milking in a milking parlor, which was time-consuming and required significant labor. "We milked 180 cows eight times in a row. It took four hours in the morning and four hours in the evening. It was too time-consuming for us, as there was a labor shortage. And that was the way forward to switch to robots," says Sascha. The transition to Lely robots has not only reduced milking time but also improved working conditions on the farm.

Improvements and future plans

Sascha has been very satisfied with the Lely milking robots and has not considered switching back to milking in a parlor or getting rid of the robots. In fact, he plans to install another Lely robot to be able to milk more cows with the robots and fewer in the parlor. This plan underscores his satisfaction with the technology and its contribution to the farm's efficiency.

Collaboration with Milcotec's Service

Sascha found Milcotec in 2014 when he was looking for a used robot at a reasonable price. He contacted Milcotec and has been a regular customer ever since. Milcotec's service has played a crucial role in keeping the Lely robots running optimally. "We get service performed by Milcotec’s technicians every three months. I pre-order all the parts needed for the service over the phone via one of Milcotec's technicians," says Sascha.

Quality Lely Spare Parts

An essential part of maintaining the efficiency of Lely milking robots is the use of quality Lely spare parts. These spare parts are specifically designed to fit Lely robots, ensuring optimal performance and extended lifespan. Sascha has noted that by using quality Lely spare parts, he can avoid unexpected downtimes and ensure that his Lely robots always function as they should. "I pre-order all the parts needed for the service over the phone via one of Milcotec's technicians. I know you can also order the parts online, and I have considered taking advantage of that in the future," he adds.

Milcotec's service is not limited to scheduled maintenance visits. Their support also covers emergencies, regardless of the time of day. "Even at night, you can always call if you have an issue. There is a service center, and there is always someone who answers the phone. There is always someone on duty. It works really well," notes Sascha.

Conclusion

Sascha's experience with Lely milking robots and Milcotec's service demonstrates how modern technology can transform dairy farming and improve both efficiency and working conditions. With the continued use of Lely milking robots and the reliable support from Milcotec, the future looks bright for Sascha and his farm in Buchholzermoor.
