Buy machinery now or wait until after Brexit date?

[Cowabunga]

If imports are going to made tarriff free or very low, export tariffs should match otherwise a deal can’t be made surely. I know all about WTF but it has to balance out. Should the EU make it difficult for UK goods, we, if we leave with no deal have to reciprocate on their goods. Otherwise we are stupid.

If the UK does a tariff free deal with one member of the WTO it has to do so with all others. I do not believe that agricultural machinery will even figure on any list, but be lumped in with road transport vehicles. So perhaps they may get away with no tariff. Who knows?

 

[Cowabunga]

in theory, yes, in reality no.

It is not democratic, it's like animal farm, some Countries have more votes than others, we could get our own way now and again, if we convinced only two or three others to vote with us, if they carried enough proxy votes.

There are at least seven ways that brexit could yet be stopped. However, all but two or three are most unlikely.
The odds are that we will be tumbled out without a parachute at this stage. But it is not inevitable.

Don't care for brexit anymore, you can go either way as far am I'm concerned. After this sh!t going on for over 3 years now, I just want some certainty back in my life

£300 spent and no better.

Wondering whether to draw a line.

How much work has it done?

Not enough,problem is we have huge swaths of grass and the baler can’t really cope,big lumps at times etc.which pushes it to its limit.

What baler is it, out of interest?

I wasn’t thinking of Ag’ machinery but goods in general

Only you know your own financial situation, unless your going to post on here how much is in your account!
That and the tax you are likely to pay at year end plus other expenses you have this year etc.
Machinery never seems to come down in price...

Snap! Good baler, should hold its value well if you decide to change it.

Always think they're more suited to hay than silage, make sure the drawbar is adjusted properly, it can make a fair difference to crop intake.

Have blown it off with road compressor and given the panels a light pressure wash.

I’m don’t like pressure washing harvest equipment however it has taken the dust off the panels nicely.

Clean baler. Why won’t it handle the rows? Capable balers those.

We do one cut,this year after spreading and gathering with the Rotonde the 160 hp Deutz was down in first gear with the forage wagon.

The swaths were enormous,having to spread to get some moisture out but to make a decent even swath I was having to pull in the equivalent of the 2x 9ft rows.

The amount was just silly.

I need a baler which will eat pretty much anything.
