Lely Astronaut milking system vs. Conventional milking system

Robotic milking systems are perfectly suited for pastoral systems just like we have here in New Zealand.

But what may surprise you the most is how affordable installing a Lely robotic milking system actually is. Use this calculator to see the difference for yourself.
