Round here it hasn't got a value, you can get artic loads delivered free. I would be a bit worried having all that plastic on the farm in case I had to get rid of it in the future, which would cost a fortune. We finished our tracks with oolitic limestone which makes a very good surface if you roll it in well,

It’s a time bomb to have on farm I reckon..... I’ve got enough of the stuff knocking around myself! Tyres on the clamp are no different though.

I've put some down for paths on a golf course. You need a solid base and it tears and punctures easily. Unless you have good experience of using it for cow tracks before it only try a very small amount. I've seen golf buggys rip it up!
