“Coming from an arable/sheep background my dairy knowledge was pretty limited, but I trusted Rakaia Engineering to do a good job with our 70 bail rotary shed and they have. They built what they said they would and it’s a very good shed.”
“Certainly from the cow’s point of view, I wouldn’t want to be without meal feeding. The system works really well and it’s not complicated.”

“We’ve always dealt with REL on silos, augers and driers. We were the first ones to go to them for the REM Grain Vacs. We’ve had them for 12 years. It was the safety aspect and their ease of handling which made us go this way and we are very happy. Safety is paramount and also comfort. I’d sooner use earmuffs than wear a face mask and the Grain Vacs don’t generate any dust. Any dust that is generated is immediately sucked away.”
“We have a good rapport with REL servicing, and now there are a few more Grain Vacs around, they can justify being able to have a full range of parts.”

“We looked at some of their sheds and decided to go with a 70 bail rotary. Paul was our project manager and he gave us the confidence that REL’s expertise was what we required. As we designed the shed, REL gave us good assistance to ensure we got what we wanted. During construction there were a few changes and they were very accommodating and able to be flexible.”
“We use the REL meal feeding system as well. During commissioning, there were a few start up issues but they were dealt with professionally and immediately. Since then there haven’t been any issues and we’re really pleased with it actually.”
