Many dairy farmers face the same question:
Should you invest in a brand-new milking robot, or can your current Lely robot continue to perform reliably for years to come?
In most cases, the answer is clear: your older Lely milking robot can still deliver strong performance – as long as you have access to the right spare parts and proper maintenance.
Even though Lely has discontinued production and sale of spare parts for older models, that does not mean your robot needs to be replaced. At Milcotec, we stock a wide range of spare parts for older Lely milking robots, allowing you to keep your system running without investing in a costly new robot.
Lely no longer supplies spare parts – but we do
Lely has phased out spare parts for several older robot generations, including:
-
Lely Astronaut A2
-
Lely Astronaut A3
-
Earlier generations of Lely milking robots
This has made it difficult for many farmers to source critical components. Milcotec has proactively secured a large inventory of these spare parts, ensuring continued operation and long-term reliability for your robot.
Why continue using your older Lely milking robot?
There are several strong reasons to keep your existing robot in operation:
-
Proven reliability – If your robot works well, replacement is often unnecessary
-
Significant cost savings – Maintenance and repairs are far cheaper than buying new
-
Spare parts are still available – Even when the manufacturer no longer supplies them
-
Extended return on investment – The right parts can add many productive years
Replacing a functioning system too early is often more expensive than maintaining a proven one.
