Robotic milking in Scotland, installed and looked after by McCaskie
From the first walk round your shed to the 5am call-out, the people who plan, fit and service your milking robot are ours — based in Stirling, working on farms from [southernmost area] to [northernmost area].
Fullwood build the Merlin 2+. McCaskie do everything else in Scotland.
A milking robot is a fifteen-year decision, and most of what makes it a good one happens before and after the machine arrives: where it sits, how cows reach it, who commissions it, and who answers the phone when it stops. McCaskie is Fullwood's exclusive dealer for Scotland — the only company that can plan, install and service a Fullwood robot here.
[If Chris is happy to state it: “We've installed N Fullwood robots on N Scottish farms since YEAR.”]
The robot
The Fullwood Merlin 2+: a whisper-quiet electric arm, an open stainless-steel box, twin entry and exit, and Streampulse milking that empties the udder at every visit.
Fullwood Merlin 2+The process
Site visit, layout drawing, services, installation, commissioning and start-up support — what happens, in what order, and how long each stage takes.
How a robot goes inThe service
Engineers based at Springkerse in Stirling, 24-hour call-out available, [parts on the shelf / planned maintenance visits]. The questions you'd ask a neighbour, answered in the open.
Service & supportThe proof
Scottish herds milking with Fullwood robots — herd size, shed layout, what changed, in the farmer's own words.
Robot farms in ScotlandWhy an exclusive dealer matters
Because the same team that sold you the robot is the team that services it. Because Fullwood's engineers and software updates come to Scotland through one door. And because there's no version of this where the sale goes to a rep and the problems go to somebody else. [Optional: one sentence on how long McCaskie has held the Fullwood account]
Is a robot right for my shed?
Five minutes, eight questions — herd size, current parlour, cow traffic, grazing, labour — and an honest answer about whether robots suit your set-up, before anyone comes out.
