Wanted: Farmer in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire (or within driving distance) to flail-mower and collect grass in 5-acre field

[Colt12]

We are seeking a 'genuine' and 'reliable' farmer or landscaper to come and mow our 5-acre field and also collect the cuttings.

The dock weeds are 4-ft tall, thanks to a farmer who very questionably 'chemical-fertilised' (without our permission) our entire field that was evidently full of weeds.

Please note: Do not respond if you are a time-waster, or one of the farmers around here in cahoots with each other to financially benefit without a single penny coming our way.

If you are a reliable farmer, there is the potential to make around 80 large circular bales per year every single year, though this would require 3 field visits per year April to September, and the grass cut as short as possible for us, as we use the field to walk our dogs.

Otherwise, if you would like to come just the once this month (July 2020) as a one-off just to genuinely help us out, this would be greatly appreciated.

Please respond with your full name and to which farm or landscaping business you belong.

Thank you.

I would pay for the grass but charge twice as much for cutting the dockens. That is a serious crop which most farmers would not want to take onto their own farm I'm afraid. If cut short is it rolled first?
And 2 cuts would be plenty for most farmers.
Farmers are not in cahoots but generally word gets around if you are expecting too much.
If you want some money then clear the docks, charge a rent and let the farmer cut it when they decide. If you want it cut for neatness and dog-walking then you will have to pay a landscaper

 

[grainboy]

GOOD LUCK With that attitude !!!!

Not sure how you are going to flail mow it and collect the grass?
A flail mower is one thing and you also somehow need to get the grass gathered up to dispose of it.
Where is your landscaper man going to get rid of it? Landfill?
It’s going to cost you a fair bit to tidy it up.

 

[jondear]

Never heard them called large Circular bales lol!
Why was it chemically fertilised without permission?
Looks like it wants dumping .
Easy this land management game !(Farming)

 

[ARW]

That grass is worthless

 

[Wellytrack]

What an opportunity..

 

[Wellytrack]

Kill it, flail it, plough it in.

Reseed with grass more suitable for regular mowing.

Graze with white Quadruped lawnmowers over winter and flail every 3 weeks from April through to October.

It’s all money. But the only way to keep those awful pishpots of farmers at bay AND sorting your problem.

 

[Slippery Slope]

If only I farmed closer, I could do with paying someone for some over grown weeds (which would also still be there without fertiliser) so that the owner could let their dog take a dump in ready for the next cut. You northern farmers don’t know a good opportunity when it’s staring you in the face!

 

[Wurzeetoo]

And yet nobody has suggested sticking some n on it. Be much less hassle only have to cut it every other year. I’d be on the phone to your friendly local contractors ASAP

 

[Colt12]

It just goes to show the moronic and very narrow-minded attitudes of some of you on here, sticking your interfering noses into other people's business and somewhat maliciously too, given your overly judgemental comments. You really don't know the full circumstances of how a regular contracted agreement was broken by the farmer, much to the detriment of an otherwise beautiful and well-maintained field in its second year of grass. - Now, the advert states 'No timewasters'. Your comments are entirely unwanted, and you evidently have nothing better to do with your time. You clearly are sad little boys, with bad little minds. - Not clever ...

 

[Kidds]

I have some ragwort for sale if anybody is interested.

 

[tepapa]

I have some ragwort for sale if anybody is interested.

Oooohhh, how much? Will you cut bale and deliver it too.

 

[Chae1]

I have some ragwort for sale if anybody is interested.

Has it been 'chemical fertilised'?

 

[HAM135]

I wonder why the farmer never came back ???

 

[Colt12]

We have never asked for, nor taken any money from the so-called farmer, and the grass was good enough when it was cut the contracted 3 times last year as he continued to return here. - So for the morons that jumped to assumptions, get your facts right before you judge. Just look at all your bitchy and pathetic little comments. You're not men. - You are something far lower, i.e. something that I would wipe off the sole of my shoe. - That would be the stuff that doesn't show in the image because there wouldn't be any in our field grass area that needs to be flailed, and collected by flail collector. You obviously have very sad little lives. All we are trying to do is to keep up the maintenance of our field, and seeking to hire someone 'reliable' with the right equipment who can do the job, but your comments are literally 'disgusting'. Shame on you. No wonder farmers are referred to as 'not very bright'. Next time you put up your own advert to hire someone to do a job, whether that's a joiner, plumber, mechanic etc. just think how shameful it would be if you were to receive such malicious and very unexpected, unwanted comments in return. No wonder our communities are falling apart. Your attitudes literally 'stink'.

A 5 acre field of weedy grass is worthless, you need to pay a contractor to cut it or invest your own money in a machine that will cut it.
Slagging is lot off won’t get your field cut

 

[Wellytrack]

Your the one with 5 acres of dog shite. Yet it's the farmers who are not the brightest..

Hey ho. You make your choices.
