[QUOTE="starkey92, post: 7743065, member: 61278"] Hourly rate here in Suffolk is about £25-30 an hour on the famers diesel. Most on here will tell you're a fool don't do it, go and work for someone else etc but if you want to do it, work away. Its your life not theirs. Who cares if they don't like driving tractors, if you do and you enjoy owning your own kit then crack on imo. That's not to say you don't have to do your sums, but you can make a go at it as I that's what I did and plenty of others started that way too. Do your sums well, account for as much as you can and if you're happy with the take home figure then sod everyone else. I didnt start with a new tractor, but if your sums can make it work then be my guest. Plenty of work down here for man and tractor on the veg gangs and maize too One bit of advice I would add is its not the tractor that makes money, its what's on the back. Ie, if you have a special bit of kit no one else has you can charge a damn site more than the £2/hr you'll get for a trailer. [/QUOTE]
