[QUOTE="Ali_Maxxum, post: 7817686, member: 12293"] What do you do? We had a brand new tractor this year to help the business keep up, the price was frightening, but going 2nd hand is just not an option for us any more. Not to mention the cost of 2nd hand now is absurd. We've had to order a new mower, price of that went up a fair chunk in the short time we were looking, old one is 10yr old and worn out, buying a 2nd hand one to use as 'spares' is also not an option, when you want to mow, you want to mow and keep mowing, the potential downtime and frustration alone is never worth it. I honestly am not sure where the job is going, we are going to have to review our charges, we aren't going to make any more money, but we can't keep stomaching these ever increasing costs, current price of diesel alone is a monster amount over 12 months. Gas for the house is up 9ppl. Council tax keeps going up, not sure where all this extra money is supposed to keep coming from. Farming does however seem to have a knack of just 'keeping going' but some cracks are appearing to show, some suddenly retiring, selling cows, leaving places to go wild, letting out, etc.... [/QUOTE]
