What would happen if the tractor driving the harvester does in an engine or transmission1500/ year so really not a lot compared to the contractors. This was an exceptionally expensive year but next year will hopefully just be a case of adjusting the knives forward and a good check over. Perhaps engine oil and filter and fuel filters.
If I spend £3500/ year as an average, it’s still less than £2.50/ acre on R&M.
What would really throw it out is if the hydrostat or feed roll gearbox goes pop, or the engine puts a leg out of bed and all of a sudden you have a £25-£30,000 bill on your hands.
