  1. You will get an approx 5 year old mainstream machine, 1500-2000 hours, with twin aux for that. Bobcat, Kubota etc. you could also get a nearly new chinese machine with twin aux for that. i would get one with twin aux whatever you do, its much cheaper in the long run.
  2. What are you looking to spend?
  3. He’s talking about a mini digger!!
  4. Will be complex and expensive to change from foot pedals to twin rollers. I’d find a better specced machine to begin with.
  5. The 4mix hard to start when hot problem is due to the valves needing adjustment- very simple to do.
  6. Is now a good time to remember that I’m scrapping an ldv tipper?
  7. Lovely mate! You're finding plenty of clearance work then? I'm looking forward to getting my new GRX grab under the 86c.
  8. You could always use three smaller posts as a tripod for more strength with less need to go deep. Doesn't matter how big your maul/handheld post knocker is, if it's proper stony you're not getting them in to depth without digging hole first or using heavier machinery.
  9. That tree adds prestige to the complex for sure. If you don’t feel that way now then don’t buy it, the last thing the rest of the freeholders will want is a newcomer going on about taking it down. It ‘could affect resale’ in the same way that grade 2 ‘could affect resale’. Standard crap a surveyor will always say to cover themselves. Reality is they don’t make plots or buildings like that any more and the same goes for a tree of that stature next to it. embrace and enjoy it or let someone who will buy it instead.
  10. So you're saying he's facing an inheritance tax bill despite not owning land? You can draw parallels there with, say, a sucessful groundworks business. All the sucessful groundworks company owners I know have by age sixty all handed over to their sons. Well clear of the 7 year rule, and then enjoy a retirement. Sounds like a succession planning issue, which is a known issue among farmers.
  11. Fully agree- the amount being spunked on lawyers and accomodation must be eye watering. I'm at the point now where I really don't give a shit what methods are used. We must be approaching a similar point to Germany in the 1930s. Nobody wants to see that again. Nip it in the bud. I suspect it's far too late for that though.
  12. How much of that uplift is due to the IHT benefits though? If we had less Dysons and Clarksons buying for the IHT relief prices might drop to a level whereby a return could be made from actual farming! And new entrants could get involved without having to be born into it. For every progressive family farm there are three more stuck in the dark ages whinging in my experience. Markets take time to realign and there will be some pain but overall I support this measure. It's still incredibly generous compared to IHT charged on other assets. Don't forget the 100% relief has only applied since 1992, and look how land values have shot up out of kilter with the production abilities of said land since then.
  13. Twats like him do. Probably gets off on the thought of two of them tag teaming his missus.
  14. At the end of the day, my accountant always says- Anything is fine until you get investigated. And then you have to justify it. If I were your boss I’d by buying you a single cab next time. You don’t need a double cab to deliver chippers, so it’s easier to play it straight.
  15. From where I sit she’s simply the most conservative candidate by a country mile. Conservative voters are fed up with the Conservative Party occupying the middle ground, possibly slightly to the right if you’ve being generous.
  16. Only way for that to work would be to declare it a ‘pool car’. Kept overnight at the premises and any member of staff can take it for work. You can run as you are until 2029 I think. Simplest option next time round is to lease you a single cab. No benefit in kind tax on this as you can’t take the family out in it. Hopefully manufacturers will start offering better levels of trim in single cab models now.
  17. Alpine tractor (or probably even a standard compact tractor) much quicker than a robo flail.
  18. Buy you a single cab?
  19. Much cheaper to fit a new kit. 12V DC Single Acting Hydraulic Power Pack | Flowfit WWW.FLOWFITONLINE.COM View Flowfit's 12V DC Single Acting Hydraulic Power Pack With 4.5L Tank ZZ003468, Max pressure 200 Bar...
  20. What about investment for business?
  21. No, it was to do with plant. I wouldn’t trust a word he says. He’s just a salesman.
  22. It’s very interesting to compare average house prices in gold over the years. prices in gold they’re actually fairly cheap currently. it’s a big con trick to keep people on the debt treadmill.
  23. I also had a few differences of opinion with him and would not recommend Trust to my worst enemy.
  24. If you've only got a hammer pedal that goes 'one way' (very likely on that vintage) then you need to make sure the couplings are the right way around. Try swapping them over. Otherwise you'll need to describe the problem further. A much better forum to ask on would be plantalk.co.uk but there are a fair few of us on both forums..
  25. Wow, as much as that? Not worth delivering it for £120 a cube.
