what did you do after lunch then?????

Went in the gym to work off the surplus energy

15 cubic metres eh ... quite pleased with myself then... 16ton, only had it a couple of weeks .. really pleased with it ... does what it says on the tin

 

I've had a 13 ton one hired in for a couple of weeks, and it worked really well. It was a horizontal one though which was good, but wonder if for bigger rings a vertical one would be better, less lifting.....

 

How much did you pay for it.

 

Thinking of buying one that I'd use of the compact tractor, unfortunately though I can't use that whilst the grass is growing!!

It was just over £2600 inc. vat and with a table and 4 way knife thrown in. I was going to go for the 20ton one but opted for the 16 as I wanted it to be well in the scope of the tractor (35hp) and as mentioned before I have found nothing that it cannot cope with. Being vertical does make those big lumps more manageable:thumbup1:
