I am looking at a paddock sweeper made by D W Tomlin. Anyone have any experience of their stuff? They seem very resonable on price.

Nice! its very light for that HP.

thats a cracking tractor arbwork. what does it weigh?

Loving this thread! keep the pictures coming.

Ouch! Its the horror stories like this that put me off hiring without an operator. Lycombe climber. Going by your profile I am out of your range. But just as a bit of market research. What equipment would you be after (winch etc)? And what would you be prepared to pay as a day rate with an operator? Pm me if you prefer. cheers.

yes cheers. I wouldn't hire mine without an operator either. Only having one tractor if it was sidelined i'd be screwed.

staffs a bit far. What sort of kit would you be wanting. obviously it would quite a big investment so I want to make sure the works there.

I have a 35 hp compact tractor that I use for paddock maintenance. What other avenues of work could I use it for especially in winter. front loader grab with winch and hire out with myself to drive? chipper? any ideas welcome. Regards.

How do you get them to a job?

no problems. I paid a cheque in once and they put an extra naught on the end! soon took the money back out though lol.

from my experience they will ask a number of companies for a quote and the cheapest one will get it.

also just to add I have tried the nfu for a rough price but they are useless unless you have the exact details.

ok cheers thats not too bad at all. what do you think I could expect to pay for a 300cc bearing in mind I am 18(or will be by the time I get one)?

Any Ideas as to what i should be paying to insure a honda 300cc? agricultural use. Im 18. Also Would pest control working mostly for farmers count it as an agricultural quad? Cheers.
