I never have had a reply to my question to them about it.
Pretty poor really.
Perhaps they'll change the wording in future rounds.

I was thinking about this the other day. As long as the pump they use is capable of that flow & pressure (I’d imagine the actual pump would have its own spec as I can’t see one being solely produced for a specific machine) it doesn’t necessarily mean the output of the machine needs to comply. For example a tractor hydraulic pump on bigger tractors can pump far more oil than you could get out of one spool. Not sure I’d want to risk it without checking first (as has already been done in this case), but I’d imagine others would be approved if they could be shown the relevant info.

I had an email exchange with RPA about the Homburg machine on behalf of a client. RPA accepted the machine. Contact Fentons of Bourne - Glenn as they are aware.
Below is the relevant paragraph from the RPA email.
I can confirm the Homburg Delta Drain Cleaner is eligible for the FETF2024 scheme. This item uses a hydraulic method of propelling the pipe through the drain and is therefore considered to be over specification.

Ah, so over spec is ok. The dealer for the Homburg has also had an email to say it meets the RPA spec.

do you have to buy all the items you apply for? or can you change your mind on some items but still claim for the others?

That’s the productivity and slurry sections. The closing date for the animal health options is the end of this month.
I cant seem to get onto the page to apply for the grant, can anyone else try and if successful send me a link (I successfully applied for a productivity one on 11th April but this time am trying to apply for a set of livestock weigh bars)
Thanks

Any one know what the rough timeframe is for hearing about applications now the application window is closed for the first round? I can’t see a date they set to respond by, typically!

Your score is a lot higher than mine, I think you’ll be fine

Am I going mad, or was there a grant for a mobile cattle handling facility this time around? I can't see reference to it anywhere. Many thanks
Yep lost the plot. Suppose you don’t remember saying you were going to transfer me a large amount of money either?

Blimey. I had no idea they were quite so reasonably priced..Yep lost the plot. Suppose you don’t remember saying you were going to transfer me a large amount of money either?

Just a little heads up, I'm thinking of restructuring here, I bought a new TS6 KV which has never spent a night outdoors. Its a great drill, done 900 acres, but I've lost the old man as my cultivator driver and farming on my own I'm fairly set on going down the combi route as the sensible option.
By all means PM me if the TS is your drill of choice, I might have a good one for you
