[QUOTE="hoff135, post: 7670048, member: 33"] What like a job is this? Does it pay better than agri contracting? Have had a thread before but am looking to get away from agri contracting and into something else. Up until recently the plan was an 8 ton digger but that is increasingly looking like another area where too many people are competing for the same work. I'm honestly not interested in running big plant just to cover the cost if running it. Be as well to do nothing or go to the beach ⛱ There are no fencing contractors within 15 miles of me. Mate further away has a post knocker on the back of a tractor seems to be pretty busy. Half of fencing jobs here involve going out on to hill ground which is too steep or wet for a tractor. Often see contractors coming in from far away to do that type of work. I can see there being lots of tree planting schemes coming in the coming years. Would selling the ag kit and going straight in with a tracked post knocker be a sensible business decision? I can fence and often get asked to do small fencing jobs which I often decline as I'm probably losing money somewhere else🤣 Good idea or not? [/QUOTE]
