[QUOTE="Oscar, post: 6627125, member: 3887"] Due to crap internet until recently, bit late to the U Tube party but I ve recently started to view American farmer videos like Millennium Farmer,Wilker Farms and Fastag . All seem to run 3 or more artics but intrestingly the units all seem to be late 90 s in age but not sure if it's a case of no outside hauliers available in the area or just an old tradition of running their own trucks ? All of these farms are quite big , 3000 ac plus so not sure what the 640 ac ( section) farmers do or even if farms are that small in those areas. As a side, in this country it staggers me the difference between firms that come on farm . I arrange my own transport and use a firm from Cullompton (Wains)who is very prompt, runs around 12 trucks, couple new ones every 18 months or so and has expanded and seems to be doing well. However, I let out a store to a neighbour and get all sorts of firms in, both local and from away, and all I hear is crap rates, old trucks and trailers, doom and gloom and a general feeling that the firm is going to pack it in . Both doing the same job but two completely different stories!! [/QUOTE]
