Your challenges

The challenges you are facing

Many dairy farmers are interested in automatic milking, but finding the right balance between investment, flexibility and long-term goals is not always straightforward. Whether you're planning the next step for your farm or looking for a more accessible route into automation, there are several factors to consider.

Investing in automatic milking can be a significant step. While you want to benefit from automation, increased flexibility and labour savings, a new milking robot may not always fit your current budget or investment plans. Finding a solution that aligns with your financial goals while still supporting the future of your farm can be challenging.

Finding and retaining skilled labour remains a challenge for many dairy farms. As workloads increase and labour becomes harder to secure, maintaining consistent milking routines can put additional pressure on daily farm operations. Many farmers are looking for ways to reduce dependency on labour while maintaining efficiency.

Every farm develops at its own pace. Whether you are expanding your herd, modernising existing facilities or taking the first step into automation, flexibility is important. You need a solution that supports your plans today while leaving room for future development.

Choosing a second-hand milking robot often raises questions about quality, reliability and long-term support. You want reassurance that the equipment has been thoroughly checked, professionally refurbished and is ready to support your operation for the years ahead. The right support and certification can make all the difference.

Certified quality

More than a second-hand milking robot

A Lely Certified Pre-Owned Astronaut is not simply a used machine. Every robot goes through a structured refurbishment process performed by trained technicians and according to strict Lely standards.
Components are inspected, worn parts are replaced, hygiene standards are verified and the complete robot is tested before certification. Only after successfully passing these quality checks does a robot receive its Certified Pre-Owned status.
