Milking machineI am selling my milking machine.At the min its set up to milk one goat but could be set up to do two goats or a cow or even sheep by adding the correct parts. The original surge cluster is with it too. Pics below should tell you most of what you need to know but any questions just ask away. I am asking for sealed offers (plus postage cost or collection) & if I dont get a good enough offer I will eBay it. Motor vacume pump & a safety vessel to stop the milk getting to the pump 
manifold vacume dial & lid 
Vacume dial 
Goat cluster (one of two) 
Lid other side 
Surge milk tank

I would have put an offer in, but I have no idea as to what its worth  and I didn't want to make an a**e of myself by offering what may be considered a too low price. If you can give an idea of "offers in excess of £...." I might have been brave enough to try......or on the otherhand, I might have thought "  blimey....way out of my pocket". I'm now gonna look on ebay

To be honest Richard, it hardly seems worth buying a machine for one goat. It takes me ten minutes max to milk out by hand and then I only have the bucket to clean and not all the pipework etc. I used to milk 5 goats and the whole thing only took an hour.
Besides nuzzling into the side of a contented goat and milking away quietly whilst half asleep yourself is one of the joys of goatkeeping.

I am with you there, doing one goat is a pleasure, Its when you have a load to do or you need a break & no one else can hand milk that the machine comes into its own. I had a period when I was doing 5 & my hands were cramping up & the starting of tendonitus was setting it. Thats when the machine came into its own.
