No being honest was a good exercise . Would of been nice for them to have went with the proposal but none the less it's worked out well either way

12 passes minimum . As stated before I only wanted 6000ha of there work to make it pay going my own way . I spray minimium of 12000ac a year on high value veg that's worth upto 1k a tonne . The rogator isn't 300k it's actually 270k with a 5 year warranty and maintenance package included. It's on a lease deal also . Anything else you require ? We are not arable farmers . We are veg farmers . How many times do I have to repeat myself in saying 6000ha was only the number I needed to make it pay for myself to spray if ffs
Not having a mardy but I don't see what people's issue are. I seen a thing last night on a group where a man has 2 24m sprayers for spraying 5000ac of cereals and he wants to go to 36m asking if he would cope with one machine . Nearly everyone who commented said stick to 2 machines so does that make him in the wrong for doing this also . What works for our business might not work for someone else's..No need to have a mardy. Irrelevant of the type of crop involved, your business has very high sprayer costs, which the owners accept due to the type of business they are running. But the figures speak for themselves. Total of 12,000ha of work with £540,000 worth of sprayers. Those sprayers will be worth £80,000-£100,000 so the lease price will reflect that, as will the added in warranty and service package.
But it’s not cheap by any means. The right sized sprayer will cost under £2/acre ALL IN and no way are those two rogators costing that. I’ll be 3 times that cost, but if that’s what’s right for the business then that’s fine, but don’t get your thong in a twist.
Don't worry about it . Clearly some jealous people on here who think they are right in everything they do
Vegans love Veg allegedly?
Wow!!
