Yes I’ve used him in the past and know him personally. Don’t know how he compares price wise as we have a more local chap these days. Well respected in the area
They used to run unimogs here , now he's got a fastrac , spreader with a grab , don't want that on my ploughing
 
To be honest, Stafford would be too far for me. I’ve been up to Rugeley and that was a stretch.

To be honest @bobk I don’t know of anybody who runs a self propelled spreader, or at least anybody who doesn’t run a trailed outfit. I know Dave Chandler well and would think he could travel as light as any kit of his size. Only a physically smaller set up could travel lighter and there won’t be many of those.

Stick with Dave if you can. He may be willing to run part loaded if you ask him.

Bobk , am I reading this correctly? Because if you are on about me until 1st of January 2020 I have never charged for pH testing and I have never delivered 500 tons to a single customer in Staffordshire in over 50 years.
Please forgive me if I've misunderstood as I have only been on here a couple of times.

Maybe 500 was an exaggeration , but the rest wasn't , you sent me an email tonight with your charges .

My phone does work Dave .
