Parlors Cost How Much?

Let's divide the discussion in two parts:

  • How much in principle?
  • What variations and add-on options?

In Principle:

ParaBones are the least expensive. Like parallels cow-to-cow distance is only 30", so they use less steel and shorter pipelines than HerrignBones. But - unless Parallels - there are no Divider Gates in a ParaBone, which can cost from $500 to $1,000 each.

Parallels and HerringBones cost roughly the same. HerringBones require more steel, but Parallels come with Divider Gates and HerringBones don't.

Rotary Parlors and Robots are substantially more expensive then ParaBones, Parallels and HerringBones. Though they have their place and purpose, depending on circumstances.

Variations and Add-on Options:

  • Light and heavy duty?
  • All-stainless, galvanized painted?
  • New or Remanufactured?
  • Thru your local Dealer or factory-direct from TechForAg?
  • SwingLine Style with single units
  • With double units and lo-lines
  • With basic Automation only
  • And loaded with computerized Dairy Management and gold plated nuts and bolts.

So what do parlors cost?

  • How about $25,000 give or take, for a remanufactured dbl. 6 SwingLine, without Automation, no Crowd Gate, and your own units from the stanchion barn?
  • Or how about $750,000 for a fully loaded brand new dbl. 24, all-stainless HERITAGE HerringBone with all bell and whistles, including those gold-plated nuts and bolts?
  • And all costs in between, literally, in $10,000 increments.

Point being - determine your budget, go thru the lists above and make some preliminary decisions about what you need and what you can live without. .

We'll put a custom parlor together that meets your criteria. Reasonably priced, pre-assembled in the factory, installed on-site in just a few days and covered by an 18 months warranty.
