That's very true, but I am pretty sure that 35 English pounds would get me a 140k tractor and a 40k man for any job for an hour. That still leaves a fair bit for a fert spreader.there may just be a £140k tractor and £40k pa driver to pay for as well to get the job done
then there is training / compliance, a yard to work from a building to keep kit in and a office to pay for
a decent spreader is best part of 10k today as well you can spend 20 if you get carried away !
I don’t see many farm contractors looking like they make fortunes! About time this industry started paying properly imo
If there's no profit there would be no 20k fert spreader. Simples.
