Sprayer MOT cost

[Andy26]

What are people paying for a sprayer MOT carried out on farm?

Just got the bill for my recent test, £275+Vat

Very basic Knight 24m trailed,

Sprayer in perfect order, single line, single nozzle etc.

No parts required and no adjustment etc. needed.

Took 45 mins.

£129 + VAT here including mileage charge to farm.

No and I didn't ask.

Mot expired in March just after my RT inspection so will have next one done on a
non conformance which will be due next May . That will give me a two year plus mot cycle.
Anyone know why we bother with the hassle and expense of RT. Its just a fraud as we all know.

Bugger!, You may be stuck paying them im affraid. Worth a shot at pushing for a discount.

there are what 20 million cars on the road... and about what 20,000 sprayers... The mot car garage doesnt generally come to your drive then lay in dog sh!t for an hour testing your car..... Bit of perspective back at you

FYI smart arse , technicians do crawl around in dog sh!t at my farm or any decent farmer , you're in the wrong game sonny ,

Calm down. I was merely pointing out the mot chap arrived in his van, looked at sprayer. In my experience. Some, not all, farms dont even clean the machine before a test. Where as the average joe takes his car to a car garage for its test (yes not cleaned ) but you get my point. Also please read your posts before you press ''post reply'' as you are saying you let technicians crawl around in dog sh!t where as I think you meant you dont....

So back on topic.
Personally. Id go back to the company that did the MOT. Say you have asked friends and contacts and they say the going rate is £120 to £140. Yo may be lucky you may not. I always find talking is the best option. But please feel free to ignore me, I'm but ten a penny... ( i think thats what he meant)

On trend , your disdain of customers and lack of understanding of ag is clear , most folk on here have forgotten more than you know about farming ,
