My experience with farmers is they will never sell. The only way you get the land is one dies and the family sell it off.
-
I thinks it been discussed before - group purchase. 5 people buy 100 acres between them. Get the agreement in writing and solicitor approved and could see it working - I'd do it

Small woodlands command ridiculous prices. I've seen £100k for 5 acres in the south east. As TWIG mentioned you need volume to get the price down. 20 acres seems to be when the price acres begins to drop then substantially from 100 acres plus.

Fantastically useful site. Thanks for the post. -
You can rip them all off as a csv file as well and open then in excel. Really easy then as it's laid as who sent you it, dates and the message. Can do them all in one hit.

Imagine hitting a bump at 60 and this happening.

Do you think the woodland aspect was a big factor here? Ie if it was a 30 acres (traditional) small holding it might have been easier? -

It is something I have been thinking about but I think you need to have your 'ducks in a row' before you go down that route. When you mention trading history, what do you consider young? I am hoping 5 years of accounts would see you well in this scenario. -

I'm far from an expert but I had look at some literature and it suggested you could get planning for a built house/ag conversion if you had an occupational need to be on the land. To prove that, the land needed to be of a size that could provide an average income, you derived your main income from it, you couldn't necessary afford to live locally, your occupation required you to be there for the majority of the working day and week and a few other conditions. -

With these types of arrangements- is it a way of getting a dwelling on a site than is too small to go down the agricultural occupancy route? -
The epitome of a sinking feeling. Looks like it was soft so kept the speed up and hoped! We've all been there!
-
Compared to the low 20s I get in the l200 it's very impressive.
-
Indeed. That is some serious miles. I was thinking covering your own county and everything it borders.
-
If you are willing to travel you will find enough work. I'd expect to covering several counties to do that though. Could be a fairly easy thing to set up though. Pickup, trailer, large tracked grinder, medium and or small wheeled grinder, blower, basic chainsaw and you are away. You could do it for £30k with some decent used stuff. Work from home as long as you have a means to dispose of the arisings. I haven't done a lot myself but would imagine it would get boring after a few months of day in, day out grinding.

Looks lovely. It is a 3500kg tow'er? I had heard so.

Unlikely they will ask for NPTC certificates. It is usually the case they will ask if you are capable of and can demonstrate professional competence in whatever it is your are doing/ machinery you are using. The simplest way to establish this is with a nationally recognised certificate, ie NPTC tickets but won't be specifically addressed. When buying insurance they will ask you for very little - if you ever want to make a claim then you will need to make sure you 'paperworked ' up to the hilt! Regardless of this though, if you have 30,31,38,39 you should be well covered for the majority of tree work from a legal perspective. 32, 40, 41 and so on are great additions but I doubt would be considered essential by underwriters etc.

Kit and crew weight is often overlooked when doing the sums in your head. My l200 is about 1900kg kerb weight. With a full tank of fuel, a few big saws, tool box, fuel can, personal bags and three guys it was coming in at 2300kg.

Got a set of 5 wheels/tyres. 31x10.5r15lt . Bf Goodrich mud terrains. Lots of tread. Came off a pajero so japanese 6 stud pattern. Look like they have been used for some offloading as there are so scrapes on the sidewalls on a few of them. Not sure they would get through a MOT. All hold air and look to be perfectly usable. I'll stick them on arbtrader shortly but would be up for an offer or even a swap if anyone's got anything interesting.

Milner is my usual go-to but no luck in this instance. I'm 99% sure it's the alternator pulley - I know it's fairly rudimentary but i spray a little wd40 onto the various pulleys a day apart and the noise immediately stopped when the alternator pulley was 'lubed'. Of course came back a few days later. I'll r try my local garage and ask about an alternator recon. Thanks guys.
-
Hello, 2005 L200 k74. The alternator pulley has developed a squeek/squeel. I sprayed wd40 onto the central bolt/bearing area and it went away for a few days. Anyone know where I can get just the pulley from? Rather avoiding replacing the whole alternator. Tried my usual online sites but no luck.
-
Great addition. Saves any customer confusion and hopefully saves your guys time by avoiding calls and emails for this exact info.
-
Or the money! I google v8 defender and quite a few come up so sounds feasible. What v8 are you looking at? The 4.4 v8 N62 by BMW seems to be available quite frequently. 286-350hp....
-
Wouldn't we all! Unfortunately it's a waiting game now. If you don't hear anything within 3 weeks you got away with it (I believe they have 14 days to contact you from the date of the alleged offence, and a few days for Royal Mail) .

Over 96mph (actual speed) and you might be in for some bother but if you get anything (you never know, the guy might have been reading the paper at the time...) it'll likely be 3 points and £60 fine.
