I am not sure if we are having a slugging problem.  The somatic cell indicates things are OK.  Milk flow could they be better,, probably.  The last 7 tank samples from 3/15/10 to 3/22/10 are: 64, 77, 79, 89, 110, 97, 120 (x1000).  For hose length, we need enough hose to use the hangers to keep the hose ahead of the legs and we sometimes have to move the claws ahead or back to help when we have "issues".  I think these hoses we all cut to the length of the longest one, which made it easier for the  help changing them.  It would probably be better to custom cut them as we change them.  The milk line pitches to the front of the parlor, different from the pitch of the cow platform.

Here's another hay field pict.
