  1. Depends what you mean by 'Contract' my large domestics like the idea of a 'pay as you go' hourly service. Commercials are generally on an annual or 3 year grounds maintenance plan.
  2. I charge £30hr or a minimum of 3 hrs as I don't load the machine and travel to do an hour and a half of cutting. It's false economy thinking that cutting every 3 weeks saves money yes certain areas can be cut every two weeks if collected but in general I attend every week / ten days to cut more formal areas of grass if collected I can literally wiz over it and it barely takes any longer than chugging through thick wet grass fortnightly plus the client has a much nicer looking lawn all the time. In general the ones wanting it done quick / cheap are a pain in the arse.
  3. If you can find a fairly cheap horse shelter they are ok as you can sit them on a bed of pallets and remove some of the boards to allow airflow plus the front is normally open with a overhang like a porch.
  4. Yes Vat on top, No from a Dealer. It had everything I wanted 5 new bf Goodrich mud terrains, Warn Winch, Towbars front and rear, Truckman top, Chip etc
  5. I've got a BG 85 but I want £100 for it so not particularly cheap
  6. Yes my 130 TD5 is chipped up, Certainly makes the Mercedes Sprinter drivers look when I leave them for dead 😊
