Just a random question but has anyone ever converted an old hand crank dumper to key start

I've recently purchased a thwaites 4wd dumper but am unsure of its year and model no would anyone be able to guess

Leaking pipes can be located via a plumbers sound equipment not sure what it's called it might be worth me giving someone a call to see if that's the case but I do know seven trent use one of the shafts on my front yard higher up the hill and across the road as storm water run off so that might...

I sure there are no field drains as it was open cast in its ancient past 150 to 200 years past and was never put back correctly, it's all just clay old slag, it's on a hill and still gets like a swamp until the dryer months

I used to have dowsing rods from a childhood trip to the mines at matlock, I forget are they made of brass or copper

Dowsing may be a problem as there's at least 2 full mine shafts in there and the clay layer is only about 8 inches below the surface so the water table at this time of year is very high

I'm laying the pipe in the opposite direction to where I think it is so I'm bound to cross it somewhere, and it's an old pipe because the farm house it supplies is 300 years old so it's been there quite some time so I bet it's not very far down

What about the water main to the other property, if I hit it is it my fault or the water company's for having it on my land

This may have been asked on here before but do I need planning permission to lay a water main to a trough in my field as digging below 100mm in your back garden technically needs permission and I'm sure there might be a water main through my field from a main road to a farm 1/2 a mile away

Looks like it will have to be restoration whist still keeping it usable

The trailer goes down the field twice a month to dump the horse crap

Less than a £1000

Does anyone in the notts area have a very cheap tractor for sale so I can pull apart my david brown for a referb, it only has to pull a 3 ton tipping trailer up and down a field for a few months whilst it's in bits. Sorry to be cheeky but its got to be very cheap, I would use the truck but its a...

A local quoted me 300 for just over an acre

I'm only asking as I've got 4 acres and previously had 5 horses on the plot so I've not needed cut the grass but am now down to 2 and have got a lot of long grass

Would it be cost effective to buy a cutter, tedder and baler for 2 acres or pay someone every year to do the job bearing in mind if I purchased the items to do the job I would have at least 3 to 10 acres of people asking me to bale for them

What would the average cost for me to pay someone to cut, turn and bale an acre of hay

It will cost £5000 for electricity

Its next to a road with all the necessary services and already has a water connection

I might be thinking too big but what about grass for bio fuel or a solar farm. And from the previous Post my top floor window looks over the land so I'm able to keep an eye on the field at all times
