Testimonials

  • Andrew Hoggard
    550 cows Kiwitea
    "We have been using the SMART-START now for around 6 months, in that time it has worked flawlessly, and there have been a few occasions where towards the end of milking we have remembered that we hadn’t turned the refrigeration on. But thanks to SMART-START, the refrigeration had been working for the whole milking. It has provided great peace of mind."
  • Mike McAloon - Dairy Farmer Opiki
    "We fitted SMART-START to all our eleven farms and have now not had one incident of a failed pickup, as the vat refrigeration is always switched on."
  • Dave Green - Mangamaire
    "It’s great, as now with the addition of monitoring, it’s even more critical to turn on the vat as the company also knows if there is an issue."
  • Grant Bell, 525 cows at Aokautere

    "I can’t think of a good reason why you wouldn’t fit SMART-START. It has removed another layer of risk from my business."

  • Kevin Hamlin - Rongotea
    "I’m now comfortable that when we get in a relief milker, the vat will be automatically switched on and refrigerated"
  • Bazil Hickford, Herd Manager - Ohakea
    "It is awesome, as I know now my staff can’t forget to switch on the vat."
  • Blair Kingsbeer, Herd manager, Palmerston North
    "In just 6 months of having SMART-START, I have turned up to the cowshed 3 times after milking to find the refrigeration was not turned on. SMART-START saved the day each time. It’s a simple system for peace of mind when you’re not around."
  • Donald Mc Kinnion, Dairy Farmer 120 cows Opiki Manawatu

    "By the time our milk monitoring system alerts us to a problem it is usually too late to do anything about it. But at least with SMART-START you know in the back of your mind if you’ve got the milk going into the vat, you know the fridge is turned on."

  • Andy Jenkins 340 cows Mangamaire.

    "Smart start is a great tool. We had our loadcells removed an I kept forgetting to turn on the vat as it used to be automatic. Smartstart solved this problem and I can’t describe how much of a relief it is to have it. Starts the vat when we start milking. End of story."
