This can be a game changer for older people with arthritis in their hands. Thank you for sharing!
Denise Stone true true! It’s great to have a milker especially if it’s going well and fixing this version! Thanks for watching!!!
I am not sure about getting the chance to binge watch but I will go back and check out your past stuff and I look forward to new content. Thanks!
Man thanks so much! We hope you enjoy!!
great conclusion to the review and excellent explanation and demonstration.
Mountain Life Montana thanks!! I know a lot of folks may not like these ha but I just think someone needed to kinda talk about this machine goods and bads
I think this will come in handy when we get our homestead. Thanks for sharing about hand milking at the end of milking
Yes, hand milking is wonderful and if you have the time I enjoy it but the Milker once right can be great too
This is great, I've been breaking it down each time I milk. Thanks for the instruction!
Good luck!
Thanks for the help.
Can you please share a link to the cleaning solution you use? Or do you have a separate video on that?
Thank you and cant wait to get my milker!!
Yay’ good luck! Milking is a great asset on the farm
Very informative!😊
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video! I just bought one and received no instructions. I did get an owners manual that is hard to understand and lists parts I dont have and doesn't have a plumbing diagram
No worries! We have three on this Milker, we hope they help!
Where can I get replacement parts for this machine? can you replace the bladder in the artificial teat (suction head) or do you have to buy the whole thing when they go bad? Also the seals and O rings for the entire machine? Your hepl would be great. Thank you
Thank you for watching! And normally you can replace the internal suction cups however this machine I don’t think you can. I have found some replacement parts on amazon and some I had to go back to that machine and get email to contact seller in China.. (which was hard) I would try amazon and eBay first and then last resort would be the original selling company on amazon. The o rings I would see what size you need. Sometimes you can pick those up at a local machine shop or hardware store. Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!
Good explanation! And the demonstration made it look easy! I doubt it’s that easy 😂
StephT5 ha it’s not bad at all! We love having a milk cow and sustainability that they provide!! Thank you for watching!!
The Mac’s Happy Homestead I don’t doubt any of that! 🙃 Right now I’ll live my milk cow dreams through y’all!
Haha! Well good! It’s amazing quality milk ! We love it!
God its so funny going from dancing skeleton 25 years ago, to you can buy anything in 2 days from one store while sitting at home
We bought three 11 month old jersey bred in coming winter. I am 46 year old retired and run a large homestead. Not looking to make a profit. What the best choice in brand? What machine would you choice if you wanted to milk three cows?
I use this for two however the mitty supply milking machines that are US made are rated very well and I think a lot of people really like them. This one does fine now however it took time to get it right. Good luck and that’s awesome to milk three!!
Do you pasteurize? If so what kind of pasteurizer do you use?
No we’re completely raw in our milk. We love it!!!
have you had to replace the gasket on the pump base yet ? Where did you get one?
I haven’t replaced the bottom of yet, however I have bought a lot of replacement parts off Amazon and eBay. Now I actually have bought another one over the last two years to exchange parts If need be. Have you tried Amazon?
@@TheMacs1 I looked on Amazon and I cannot seem to find that exact one.
There’s no pressure involved as a vacuum bro
Vacuum pump, however when the system is closed and used, it builds the suction, we use a “pressure” gauge to monitor that. I didn’t get to wordy on the video
Would you still recommend this machine? I'm thinking about buying one. There is also a vacuum pump milking machine, it seems to be better in comparison to a piston milking machine
Hmmm, I would say this.. normally this is pretty cheap and I have used mine for over 18 months and it has done good once we did a little modification. I think for the money it is good and as long as they send you the whole machine correctly it’s worth the money. Most of these style cost double what this one does so for the money it is good. I have spoken to a ton of people with this machine and there have been a few lil minor issues people have had to work through but all in all we have gotten them on the right track. Good luck and if you get it and have a question let us know!!! Keep us updated what you decide to do!
@@TheMacs1 Thank you for the response! I'll keep you updated. Could you tell me about the little modification you did? Had it something to do with the piston? Thank you
Tightened the belt, bought suction cups from miles supply. Helps keep pressure, also bought some vacuum oil to help keep it all greased well. Keep hoses on standby just in case for holes an all.
@@TheMacs1 Thank you again!
Good luck!
If you don't have electricity in your barn, can you run it off a battery?
I have tan off generator before. If you have a converter it may! Good thought!
I have this machine and my on/off switch stopped working last night. The ON stayed stuck pushed in and wouldn’t pop out (the OFF would push in and out). Finally got it working again and this morning, nothing. The ON pushes in and out, but no power. Any suggestions?
It’s going to be a connection issue. Take your switch out and see if something came undone. You will need some wire nuts to Ty it back in. Mine doesn’t have an off now so I just unplug when I get done using. Just because I am cheap and don’t wanna buy a new switch lol
@@TheMacs1 thx. We took it apart last night to discover that the switch is enclosed in a plastic box. So, looks like we will have to completely break it to see if something came apart. Sigh. Maybe I should try milking by hand?! :-)
Replace the switch with a light switch. I think this is a common fault
@@chirho7 great idea, thx. We bypassed the on/off switch and plugged it into a power bar and use that as our on/off.
Hello, I bought the same one but mine the pressure keeps on jumping from 0-6. Would you know a solution to keep it stable at 4 like you have going?
Thanks!
Even while the pressure is building the needle is jumping back and forth. When the pressure gets to 6, the needle continues to jump between 0-6 during milking.
Hmmm. That is crazy. Sounds like a hose is not connect or a lil leak, have you checked your pressure gauge to make sure it doesn’t have a crack, also the ball bearing in the top of milk top, is it greased to help it go up and down to help regulate?
@@TheMacs1 I just bought it 3 days ago so its definitely strange! I will take a look, thanks!!
@@TheMacs1 just checked everything's and it seems all intact. I think I have the newer version, it has some kind of blue gadget on the milk top near the ball bearing.
Please help!! I can not figure out where I’m loosing suction!!
Watch the second video of putting it all together again. I show step by step
@@TheMacs1 thank you for the quick response, I’ve tried all that, and can not get the suction pressure gauge to move at all.
Sure seems loud. Is that normal for any milking machine?
It is not to bad. It does sound louder with all the wood. The vacuum pulsating is what is so loud for sure.
“We give you full permission to be lazy...” 😂😂😂
Losing To Win yes to just binge watch only THE MACS! Lol 😂
What type of oil does the Milker take
We place stearns milking machine vacuum oil
@@TheMacs1 what vacuum oil
It’s a vacuum oil made specifically for them
What kind of oil do you use in pump?
I have used a simple motor engine oil last time I think it was 10w-30 or something similar. It came with some in there however I am not sure what is originally was but that is what I added
Thank you for watching!
Thanks
Any lubricating gear oil should work though
@@TheMacs1 how much oil does it take?
How many hp is this motor?
Half horse
Where do you get the caps?
amzn.to/3tPcmRb here ya go!
@@TheMacs1 thanks. Currently not available. Your video helped us figure out how to latch on with one person lol. Thanks.
Ha good luck! They hopefully will be available soon. Good luck!
🙏❤️🙏
what is the make and model of this one?
This is “vevor” however it’s the one Amazon sells that is through several different names. I have two of them now and they work great
@@TheMacs1 Thanks for the info and your reply
No problem!
