Miscellaneous farm items for sale.

Surge Vaccuum pump. For milking Cows,goats, sheep.
 If you're in need of something like this, this is a good deal. 
 This milking machine runs off of 110 volts. will milk a cow in
 about 1-2 minutes. I had it set up to milk goats. I could milk 2 
 goats in about 30-40 seconds with this machine. It comes with
 a 4-5 gallon surge bucket, inflation pressure valve, for adjusting
 the inflation pressure. It is portable, small in size, but heavy.
 the unit is about 14 inches wide, 30 inches long,about 24 inches tall.
 but it weighs around 125 pounds. If you know of anyone that travels to
 shows with goats or sheep , this is small and handy and very reasonably
 priced. Another use for this is of course for a dairy farm.  
 Brand new, similar types of machines go for around $800 This is a working
 antique. My guess is that is is around 30 years old or older. 
 Machine with all working parts $250 FIRM.

Stainless steel cafeteria type Sink.
  Remember those old large double cafeteria sinks. Well, you could finally own
  one. This one came from Amherst College about 3 years ago. It's in good shape.
  It is very large, and is IDEAL for those that make beer, have large gardens, 
  or just need a large sink in their cellar. This is also ideal for a barn or
  garage. Each sink is about 2' square and 2' deep. There is also a 2'x2' long
  side board(stainless steel). So the unit is about 6.5 feet long, 2 feet deep
  and about 3 feet tall (all stainless steel). It has legs and does not need any other support
  $250 takes it away. 

100 Gallon Stainless steel Bulk Milk tank.
	This is the kind of tank you would see at a dairy farm.
	has electrical panel for chilling milk. needs a little work if
	you want that piece to work. Otherwise could be used for large
	field waterer for cattle. This unit is large and heavy. 
	- could be used as storage tank for  maple syrup,apple cider, etc. 
	$50  will fit in full bed pickup truck.

Animal Waterer:  Unique and different, These are very hard to find and pricy.
  These are stainless steel bowls that you screw on to a wall or post. In the 
  bowl, behind a stainless steel plate, is a float valve. You can control how 
  much water goes into the bowl. When your livestock/pet drinks from the bowl, 
  the bowl refills itself. You can hook this up to a garden hose for your dog
  or livestock. Or you can permanently connect plastic piping to it. These
  work very well and certainly beat filling up a large tank. Water does not sit
  for long and go stale. I have 2 of these left. $20 each - Firm.

    The animal wateres have been sold
