[QUOTE="puppet, post: 9223802, member: 25962"] Find someone who likes machinery then look after them with plenty ideas in this thread. Nobody likes bills but if I want the contractor to finish later then he passes the overtime costs to me. 4 men for 3 hours at £20 is £240 which in the scale of things is well worth paying to get decent silage. Even the big outfits here now run 9-9pm as plenty hours, tiredness leads to accidents and gives them time to get maintenance done in the mornings. Some are avoiding Sundays if possible. On our small scale here we are happy to cut and ted 120 acres over a weekend ourselves so that the silage team can pitch up on the Monday. Keeping staff employed is not easy. Lot of contractors are also farmers which provides work at home or running plant and haulage jobs for wet days. A roadside cutting operation quite a good option too. [/QUOTE]
