@RWG Contracts is it better to be a plastic skip ?
and are they hydrostatic ?

Yeah a lot better, plastic skips don't bend

well they do but bend back unlike steel that stay bent

But had the conversation improved?

Much better

Lincs Lass said:
Maybe not for concrete but it would be for me to tip stuff in my trailer or skips ,,Ive found a small mobile pumping wagon with 80mtr of pipe and he sends three blokes with it for £300 for 4hrs ,

That's very cheap

BAC said:
That's not bad as long as you have good turn around your wagons. A boom pump is £700 for the day

Yeah which is why I think two buggies is cheaper

BAC said:
What tends to be the conversation?

Just about awesome I am

Best part of 45 acres knocked of today and yesterday. Only one issue with mower when it ate a pile of old silage wrap and string........

Leave it for a few days and hit it again to mulch it down as much as I can

No stapler here, just my over exercised right wrist! I'm not often alone, have done a lot this year alone and i don't mind it its just that the amount of work ahead of us just gets bigger, some weeks there's 4 of us and really get some done then the next week it can be just me! Can't get the staff that want to work hard

Sorry, thought that was a hose on the ground.

Sick to death of never being able to find anything in the workshop. And fed up of never having the right size nuts / bolts to hand:

Now I just need more racks & linbins for all the other stuff

The baler was making funny length bales occasionally. Spot the problem:
