[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 982604, member: 5917"] I have an older Surge milker I use. Vaccum pump [img]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z79/Elimrvfc/IMG_6092.jpg[/img] Milk bucket [img]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z79/Elimrvfc/IMG_6093.jpg[/img] Starting milking [img]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z79/Elimrvfc/IMG_6095.jpg[/img] You can just see the belly belt on the last picture. I put the strap over her back just before her pelvic bones. Once I get the milker going I move the belt behind the pelvic bones. I hook the handle underneath the belly strap on the metal bar. I wash her bag and squeeze some milk out of each teat. Yes I would strip her out. Mine only takes around 15-20 minutes to wash up. I still can get parts for mine from at least 3 different places. No the suction needs to be broken between the inflator aka teat cup and the teat. If you break the suction with one teat and allow air to enter it the other 3 will fall off. I do it on just one and the other 3 fall off. Just take your tme. Ask questions when you are having trouble and we will help you out as we can. Make sure you are set up and ready to go before your cow calves. I was used to hand milking too, but Honey kicked the living crap out of me. She won and has never kicked the bucket milking her. Go figure. Hope this helps you out. [/QUOTE]
