The problem I have is I milk every morning, and blumin lorries always like turning up, when I milking, I'd rather load at 4.30, get down and back for 6.45-7 then milk. We have about 100 to go between now and Xmas, £30 head adds up on haulage to and always worried about disease will lorry rolling in.

£30/head from you to Bodmin 😮😮😮 and I thought I was over paying at half that and further away.

I was just scrolling through about to suggest the same. Living in France that is all most use. We are just looking at a used one that takes about 8 beasts, they have a much lower centre of gravity and therefore travel better and also lower to the floor for loading.

did you buy one yet Mathew?, we don’t use ours and I do wonder about selling it

Anyone got one of these? We have some tight places to get in and the 7ft width seams quite appealing. Been to look at an old Lagan today which is in very good condition but for 5k more I can have a brand new one of these which should see me out.
