The 80’s have gone and I would like to think we’ve got a little bit more sensible since then.
I for one wouldn’t spend a week in a car factory to then turn round and produce cheap food at cost for the world on weekends - got to be abit of an idiot to do so.
Interesting reading.
In the higher £150k bracket, where we will be for payments 2021, 22 & 23?
Is there a percent format being followed on an annual basis does anybody know?
I have owned several short discs, and know the downsides of all.
Simba xpress 700mm dd rings are too far apart -misses clods leaves it rough, good on light land though.
Vaderstad carrier classic style bounces, and you can’t get weight on ends of wings as there’s no down pressure.
Vaderstad...
When you have fun changing the yellow plastic wings you will see why we’ve all gone Dutch.
Dutch are cheaper to run.
If you wish to drill undressed seed the only way is to use bean tubes.
I may even cut the pipes off my the back of my Dutch openers and fit wider ones so I don’t have to use bean...
Yes agree.
Anybody who knows there exact cost will know how easy it is to clock up £150/acre in costs even if doing the job correctly using a nice min till system.
When you sign on that dotted line for 3 years prepare yourself for that last year too as from past experience that will be the most...
@warksfarmer 5” Dutch will give the same row appearance as duet u would struggle to see the difference.
The Downside of the duet is the yelllow wear plates and rivets.
The downside of the Dutch is it likes clean seed (unlikely to drill straight off heap).
Dutch openers are cheaper to run.
If it is applicable, in these times the landlord should keep that aside from the rent (most will anyway).
Gone are the days where anybody can rely on that to top up the rent.
Too low. In a s2s you would need to be at least £150 to carry the job out properly and at least help pay for replacement machinery, labour and fuel cost.
Childish remarks about tidy farms let’s try and get back to the subject In hand.
There are other factors which have to be brought into the cost.
The amount of paperwork involved from the contractors point of view is pretty immense.
Lots of invoicing for quarterly charges. Moling, hedging...
Absolutely not, but I would never use it as an excuse to join them.
I have never gained land A) being the highest bidder for rent or B) being the lowest bidder for a S2S.
If I was in that category I would be more concerned than not having it at all.
Dont you believe it.
It’s like saying any lowest priced plumber, builder, painter etc gets the job, how the job is done overrules any of that as with all walks of life.
To many people on here need to get a grip as to where agriculture is today.
1) There is no cheap machinery, ring up any machinery dealer the prices are frightening.
2) Parts service and repairs, tyres, again frightening costs.
3) £90/hr service technician costs from dealers are the norm!
