Title: dont make them like they used too
Post by: dgr on March 21, 2014, 03:33:49 am
Paddock maintenance contractor with all the gear and a bit of an idea, set up a few years ago to keep the "ole man" busy since he retired from farming and running large scale agricultural contracting.
Free tips and advice on how to get it done with best value in mind and interested to know yours
Based in shropshire but can travel anywhere for a brew & bacon butty, all equipment can travel on trailer behind 4x4, compact tractors on grass tyres with harrow, roll & overseed and a 90hp alpine tractor that makes doing those banked fields easy & safe.
Lots of small equipment like post hole borrers and diesel welder for hire plus implements available for hire like a try before you buy and pointers where to buy your own so you can work out if its cheaper to do it yourself.
