mixed fleet

They are a rediculous price, a bag of power mixed with water makes around 200 litres of milk, I've seen lads with a 205 litre barrel mounted on a wheeled frame with a tap at the bottom and the powder is mixed with a drill and a whisk for mixing plaster or mixing some kind of stuff. A nice smart and very cheap job.
I was mixing with a drill and buckets , I would have the calves in 10s on blue feeders around the yard . Last spring I "Upgraded" :rolleyes2: to one of these. http://www.wydaleproducts.co.uk/products/prod/198/4WheelMobileMilkTrolley think it was € 5-600
It just mixes ,big valve on the bottom and let it fill into buckets which means you know how many litres your putting into a feeder.
Saves a lot of carrying, can be used to carry whole milk.
