looks nice firm ground
be careful sean will be around saying that edge should be piled, you should have fencing and fall air bags, that gable should be braced, has that concrete driver been signed in and inducted? haha
No he won't, it should be stepped / battered though :;):

We just set a 4"x2" tanalised frame in some gobbo and haunch it then galvanised fencing staples. Its a nice heavy turf, our regular supplier let us down and I spent ages sourcing some decent stuff at a good price, I was on my way on a 60mile round trip to get some and by chance walked to the Carpet shop 200 yards from home and he stocks loads of it and was looking for an installer as he has done loads of marketing on it and had no one to fit it, so it was a good find.

Thats because they do Haggi everytime someone uses one on public or private land without consent then they're breaking the law. The last person I ever lost it with was a scambler who was ruining a perfectly peaceful days trout fishing and hit my dog to boot. Needless to say on his next lap he and his bike got the good news and he had to push his bike with a flat for a couple of miles over untacked moorland.

Just for you Giles this is my uncles 2 day old Fendt 828 I snapped when I was over visiting the family in scotland last week. Ready to start grain drilling today he gets a new one every year at this time(tax writeoff don't believe any beef and grain farmer who pleads poverty). GPS controled steering and throttle for the big fields I had a wee spin but my dog wasn't that impressed.
On another note I was feeling flush today aswell and bought 2 new Heamerlins at £34 a pop which isn't quite in the same league tax wise as the fendt but it'll have to do for now. :unclesam:

Rab I had to change out of my gardening gear before he let me in the blooming thing a tractor can't stay clean forever but he'll try for as long as he can.
i guess its all about acreage pablo
the farmer we are working for now reckons under 500 acres of arable and you cant make a living
corn apparently is the same price it was in 1992
the haemerlins are nice barrows but a little wider than some which can be a pain with bad access

That will be because of US corn subsidies.
I rent my yard from a pig farmer, he isn't short on cash.
