Try cotton roots, we got organic cotton stuff there with our logos

Anyone spending 50 grand on a truck surely isn’t going to work with it anyway meaning towing limits, vat reclaim etc all unimportant. The working man would just have a van, work type truck and unimog for the same money ?

I’m amazed none of you lot have snapped up that new Holland crawler in Maclean’s. Fancy it myself for subsoiling but it would be the thing with a winch on the back!
-
Not arb but a few jobs to do at home today telehandler dead and tractors away on a job so digger being versatile

Even if you keep the whole £110 left it’s not enough to run a business and pay yourself minimum wage especially if it’s for a 14 hour day. Do you not think you’re entitled to minimum wage either?
-
We’re not all mental ?I feel like I’m giving it away at £25/hr + vat, there’s not masses of cash up here but plenty of work. There’s no way anyones making a living hiring diggers out at £50/day.
-
£150 for you and labourer isn’t even minimum wage!
-
Have you had problems with the loader or is it parts are to get?

Been impressed with my Schaffer 3036, lifts a ton, goes on trailer, no plastic.

TBH I find it refreshing these kids are playing outside and doing some physical activity. I can’t get my two off the Xbox where they seem to spend most of the time virtually stabbing or beheading people. (I feel compelled to add this is a joke in bad taste and stabbing people is never big or funny and knife crime is obviously a huge problem which like all other huge social problems will require all parties to come together and work for a long term term solution where all are well fed, educated, respected and cared for youths and don’t feel the need to join gangs/stab people/fear for there lives etc)

Don’t worry, It’ll all stop once we’re out of Europe.

Bang on, it’s going to be great and I can see a time when peoples car/house battery becomes used as part of the nations energy infrastructure. 2 cars on the drive on a sunny, windy day take energy in, on a dark calm day give it back to grid. Tech will be able to do the maths, know when you use the cars etc and make it all user friendly and balance with nuclear as the back up as and when.

A vegans nightmare..bacon that was fattened on a bacon fattened fatty!

Sounds like you’ve been good to them and planned well. Hats off to you.

No mess, I’ll do it in the pig shed ??

I think as much as we’ll all be grafting for a long time trying to give the kids a leg up it’ll probably all end up getting sold to pay for the last 20 years of care we’ll be needing. Think if we all knew what was coming we’d live well, give the kids as much as we could along the way to get them started not worry about what we were leaving behind, have 5-10 years dicking about with the lifelong list of projects once retirement age, equity release spend the cash then take the shotgun out to the shed. Sounds grim but seeing father in law have a major stroke at 83 and potentially keep going for another ten years with all the care he needs has scared the shit out of me! Old age isn’t for pussies that’s for sure.

If you put a big funnel in each hole you’ll catch more water
-
String your lines, drop a pinch hole in all your post sites, give this weather a day or too, go back to it. Amazing what a bit of water sitting in a hole does in 24hrs.
-
I use a 3 cuts and a bit of fire lighter gel down the centre. Good idea about wrapping in cling, will nick that one.

Bicycle? It could be the future..

Definitely prefer having lots of machines to employing labour or one new machine..idle digger sat in yard doesn’t cost much. Maclean’s have got a lovely 8t tak with an engcon on if your same would pull it, think you could put 1000 hrs on it and not loose much.
-
snap!
-
I fancy a trailer like that and something like your 6 tonner. Perfect set up for me but don’t think I could charge enough to cover the cost above a 3ton. Beats an old grain trailer that’s for sure.
-
What trailer is that Matthew..6t, 8t? Looks very handy size
-
B25v, predecessor of the sv26. i looked at the specs a lot too but it doesn’t translate to real world. I was won over by the fact it was local and by tight pins, comfortable seat, stuff that worked etc but all new machine would have that.Try them all on demo first for at least a week would be my advice.
