A guy near here spends much of the summer hauling silage as part of a silage gang, he’s owned his tractor and trailer for at least 15 years now and they were secondhand when he bought them( the tractor is a MF 3085) it’s often said he’s the only one in that gang earning any money.That's only because they want the best of everything to start with.

would rather see old stuff and a smaller billTrue, but how many farmers would rather see the shiny, balls out flash gear on their farm than the old tackle?
Why should the bill be smaller, it’s the job that’s being paid for, if you can do as good a job with old kit I see no reason why you shouldn’t charge just as much.would rather see old stuff and a smaller bill
