What is it? Brick? Any damage?
Stones but also concrete in grass. Largest bit would have covered the base of a average wheel barrow. Luckily the mower escaped with a few odd blades bent. I picked up half a concrete block when raking as well.
Apparently previous tenant left a pile of muck but he hadn’t been to well mentally pre giving the ground up.

£10 per acre for a 3m mower conditioner. No idea about grouping as we scatter out all ours for haylage and then rake up at £6 an acre a few days later.
All done on contractors diesel: I would never allow my diesel to be used for any contracting job, unless perhaps as a top up in an emergency.
