Scottish government machinery grants?

[j6891]

Only makes sense if you need the kit in th first place. Would rather just have had a straight cash top up. Big boost for the manufacturers that make some of the items though

 

[Hilly]

Blow to anyone who bought new last week !

For peasants like me, a 50% grant on a £70k drill ain't much use..........

 

[Agrivator]

It would have been far more sensible to resurrect the 50% grant for lime applications - together with free soil sampling and possibly grants for needful phosphate applications.

And grants for bracken eradication, so long as it wasn't fouled-up ,or complicated by environmentalists.

Handy there's only 2 manufacturers of VF tyres?

Bridgestone and BKt.

Interesting one has withdrawn prices and is currently reviewing them. Wonder why.

Michelin zeobib

Almost all tyre manufacturers make vf tyres

 

[Zebbedee]

Michelin were the first with the xeobib but as Sandy says lots of manuf@cturers now do it

Not wishing to sound ungrateful of scotgov as any assistance is welcome, but if they genuinely want to up efficiency and help reduce pollution, clean air etc, then bring back capital grants for buildings and infrastructure, this would especially help the tenanted sector, as most landlords are happy to sit back and watch their tenants drain and improve their land, but when asked to contribute to making buildings, houses wind and water tight, or modernise to even 20th century standards, they run away and instruct their parasite agent's to give any excuse or lie as to why they can't

I think you’ll find it just away of sticking some money into the economy quickly. Half from government and half from farmers pockets.

Maybe they don’t fart so much when held securely in a squeeze crush than scrabbling around inside a fixed width one!!

No sure about burning extra diesel by going grassland subsoiling though

OR maybe the squeezing action forces air out and this allows them to hold more and be classified as a carbon capture device

The government is injecting 10 mill into the rural economy and hoping farmers will inject another 10mill. Simples

 

[Nithsdale]

Yes (only 40% though), but you guys even receive your sub money ahead of the grant scheme. They even helped you find your 50%.

It's not a straight 50%.

The govt have put a price on each item... If the item you buy actually costs more than the value they've stated, you only get 50% of THEIR figure (limit). If your item costs less than their figure, them you get the 50% grant.

We've had a look at a few things we could do with... and the govt are about the price with a lot of things so it isn't an open cheque book.

 

[Chae1]

Does anyone know if the deadline for submitting applications has been extended too!?

I've been told it has. But haven't read anything official.

Was going to be parking up the drill tomorrow to complete it. Last minute.com

But don't know if need to? I know the deadline for receiving capital items was extended some time ago
