i say go for it, but forget the baler, go for mowers instead, a nice big one, a medium sized one and a walk behind, couple of strimmers and away you go, not cutting grass for farmers but for private houses and industrial estates, more profit, finished by 4.30 home for tea and boff the wife/GF

Is that some kind of sick joke? The lad said he was in a wheelchair !

It might be hard to push a mower or use a strimmer from a wheel ch

My advice is to say to everyone that your doing work and you would appreciate a bit of work if the need ever arose but your not there to undermine anyone, it worked for us , the main thing
is don't spend too much and good work done on time at a fair price will get you more work , and b patient cos out of the blue work will come that you didn expect

Farmers around here are desperate for good tractor drivers & pay good money but everyone wants to be a contractor with financed tractors working long hours undercutting to get work.

Yes but this particular man has a disability and prob doesn't want to work for another farmer , for health reasons I couldn work in another farm it's not all about money

I'd think the work needs to be seriously thought about as what will work for a wheelchair user. Maybes slurry tanking or trailer or aerator work would blend easier.

Baling with fusions or any baler when they start playing up can be fun for any person as handling heavy roll's of netwrap and plastic from heights arnt easy unless someone else is in the same field and fusion front ladders and that's before bungs etc and un/fortunately 99% of the time no farmer is ever around.

Having tried contracting with a round baler and wrapper and driven balers, wrappers and Fusions for contractors I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. However if it's what you really want to do drive someone else's baler.

Mowing or raking for a contractor hedgecutting but they are as common anything a track machine maybe

Niche job perhaps,
my next door neighbour has had in a chap today trimming trees with a telescopic loader and a 4 bladed saw on. Its is a bit famine or feast though.

Your interpretation of the OP’s situation need a little honing. How exactly is he going to manage walk behind mowers and strimmers in a wheelchair?
