Weathers been great the last week, dust has been a problem 😃

Some great pictures there!

 

Unless you have the time to haul other folks machinery I wouldn't go looking at low-loader trailers. You'll need a good tractor to haul an 8 tonner too. The excavator weight and the trailer itself must gross over 11 tons.

In my opinion It is much easier, as others have said, to have a main haulier and a couple of stand-buys if your main man is busy.

 

In all honesty in the scheme of the bigger machinery work I have found that most jobs are flexible by a week or so. If you need to be more accurate you then have to plan ahead more and then cope with the pressure of the finish-on-time situation!

Remember a big machine makes so much more mess too and waiting until this time of year to do jobs when things are drying and the daylight is on your side really does help.

 

A trailer will cost £5k+( a good one is more like £7k) and even then it will need care and attention to ensure the brakes, bed and lights remain in good order and that's a lot of money to have tied up and sat in your yard.
