[QUOTE="joe soapy, post: 5373402, member: 196"] well, work it out, £100 would run the trimmer over a fair farm, 1 hyd pump will be the equilavant to 5 years trimming. i been using a battery trimmer in the garden, its been a real wakeup call on what we need v what we think we need. i recently asked a price to look at borehole pump, it was 10 times to look at it compared to buying a new solar powered setup capable of going down 200 feet Somehow we have let costs run wild and think there is no alternative. icopied somebodies idea and put wheels under my battery trimmer, it hasent half set off a train of thought. this place was run with 4 standards and a tvo nuffield plus a couple of cart horses. the work was done and the farm paid for 4 at private school. now there is a 7710, 6920, 6630, 6620, 6610, a 6 cylinder ford, a 4 cylinder ford, 2 telehandlers, 2 bunning spreaders the list goes on and on and i is informed there is a 6 meter grassland drill awaiting collection, all to essentially do the same work that was done years before, made a big mistake in going to look at a machhine, chap said he would pull it out to see. got talking, he had bought a baler, hitched it up to tractor 4 years ago and thats how it stayed, same with the machine we went to look at [/QUOTE]
