This is the old man's way of saying we are continuing farming, not sure on it yet, but the machine's nice

Is it brand new ? Are you wanting to give up farming ?

Yeah brand new, I'm 35 and I've lost the passion for farming and have basically given it up, I have always worked off the farm as well but only self employed. I started a new job in November and went employed start of Feb. Its the first year I haven't done any silage work, all I have done is 50 acres of big square hay and I can't say I enjoyed it that much, I have kind of enjoyed feeding cattle this week but I think that's more to do with having a new machine and it being the first time I've have off since November

What’s the job you do ? Good for you doing something else if your heart isn’t in it , to many hang about and end up with regrets .

I drive a loading shovel shredding wood. I know what your thinking , that's not that different but it's fixed hours and I earn 3 times as much

Hydraulic or manually operated squeeze? Looks good.

How much Hilly?
I'm thinking of changing our belly clipping one as we have more mixed aged cattle to dose now.

Is that including vat?
if your earning 3 times as much driving a shovel then surely your dad needs to renegotiate with you significantly if he wants to keep you around? looks like the farm must be doing well financially (a lot better than mine anyway) to buy a machine like that, so the money must be there?
