Tyres: set of 2 × your tyre price, replacement cycle depending on floor type (smooth ± 30 months · average ± 18 months · rough ± 12 months), scaled to operating hours. Wear strip (silicone): ± 2× per year at € 26.40 (excl. VAT). Brush/sprinkler set: annually with intensive use. Battery: ± € 180 (excl. VAT) depreciated over 2.5 – 4 years depending on load. Small parts (couplings, bolts, nozzles): fixed amount. Collector: + slide plate wear. Robots older than 5 years: + 15% on wear parts.

Breakdown per part
📊 Practical reference: self-maintenance usually ranges around € 150 – 400 per year (excl. occasional transmission or charger). With service visits from the Lely Center, more like € 300 – 700 per year. Main cost drivers: number of pushing rounds and length of feed alley, floor type, version, age of the battery and pasture grazing.
How do we calculate this?
For each part we calculate the average cost per year based on replacement interval and price: battery ± 1× per 4 years, skirt and chain ± 1× per 2 years, drive wheels ± 1× per 6 years. That amount is scaled with the version (Juno 100 − 10%, Juno Flex + 10%), the usage intensity (number of pushing rounds, floor type, pasture grazing) and the age of the robot (younger than 2 years − 10%, older than 5 years + 15%). Service contract indication: wear parts + an average 80% markup for labour and call-out costs.

Breakdown per component (cost per year)
How do we calculate this?
Liners: annual milkings (cows × milkings × 365) ÷ lifespan per liner = number of changes × 4 liners × unit price. Silicone lasts ± 10.000 milkings, rubber ± 2.500 — the calculator shows directly which is cheaper on an annual basis. Milk filters: daily change, scaled to cluster size. Brushes and laser: annual replacement. Hoses (duplo / milk hose): 1–2× per year. Other (pulsation, vacuum, small parts): fixed amount, A3 + 20% (older platform), A5 − 10%. Contract indication: average € 3.000 (range € 2.000 – € 6.500).

Your situation
Breakdown by component
📊 Practical reference: ordering wear parts yourself usually costs around € 1.500 – 2.800 per robot per year. Including a dealer contract, more like € 4.000 – 8.000+. Biggest cost drivers: number of milkings per day (cows × milking frequency), liner type (rubber or silicone), original or aftermarket part (saves 30 – 50%), and the age/version of the robot.
How do we calculate this?
For each component we calculate the average cost per year based on replacement interval and price. Liners and filters are the largest cost items and scale almost linearly with the number of milkings. We then adjust that amount based on the version (VMS Classic − 10%, V310 + 10%), usage intensity (number of cows and milking frequency), and the age of the robot (younger than 2 years − 10%, older than 5 years + 15%). Service contract indication: wear parts + an average 80% markup for labour and call-out costs.
