    Number of tractors

    Legalties of owning a farm 360

    Sort of promised myself a digger for my 60th birthday. Thinking 6 ton 360 ideally would be wheels but most are on tracks, so it will be tracks. I take it the driver needs a certificate of comptence & insurance, anything else. I'm approaching 59 but the right machine is available locally, I...

    Overdraft

    I've finally finished cash flows I'm happy with them, and looking at them I'm really surprised at how well things should look in 12-18 months time. I've been extremely hard on the figures, milk price is in at 32ppl and costs are all over the top rather than under. However, there's a period...

    I hate modern tractors

    OK so we only buy 2nd hand ones with around 5000hrs on them then generally add at least 1000+ hours to each/year but, frig me, these modern tractors are pansies always throwing up error codes and acting up. Have manufacturers overdone it with all the sensors and the stupidity of emissions...
