[QUOTE="JMTHORNLEY, post: 6905024, member: 53424"] I do everything myself after being constantly let down by contractors, lefty a very bitter taste in my mouth when the last we had on the farm drove through two gates and never said anything about it after baling some of the nicest hay I'd ever seen in the pouring rain that'd been going on for three hours prior to him turning up so that was enough. Made the mistake of buying semi cheap to begin with, won't do that again. now run older but VERY tidy kit. it's out there if you look for it. It gives you the opportunity to knock that 20 acre down and take a chance on it to make drier stuff while your picking up the other half ect. Plus you'd have to find a decent man to come and pick up some of our 3-5 acre fields when there is big work to be had :rolleyes: As for cost I wouldn't say I've saved on anything over the years but I've had a good laugh and been able to do I've wanted and how I've wanted to do it. Make sure you buy a trailed wrapper whatever you do, gives you the best of both worlds that way. Try and get some support though, if you've a lad or lass that's keen on helping or a neighbour it makes the job that bit easier [/QUOTE]
