what a day

just do it

The other side of that is the tax write off for your own machinery. Personally, the ability to be able to do certain jobs like slurry, the day I want to do it (even if its a sunday) and the way I want to do it far outweighs the benefits of getting in a contractor who's only interest is getting the tank empty regardless of the damage he does to ground with his big machines, and regardless of the amount that he has to spread in each field just to get it empty.

I'm a fan of more rounded solutions than one track "no brainers" - rather than a 1 solution fits all, there are several solutions out there that fit the different ways that different people farm.

Hmm, seems I hit a nerve for some reason. Your argument is fine but ignores the highlighted bit below:

There are so many contractors out there for every job it is hard to justify buying any equipment! Less equipment also = only need a smaller tractor...

Definitely a no-brainer for lads with off-farm income due to the tax right off and scarce time.

Horses for courses and all that;)

You'll find that most people who have a farm and an off farm job will put as much time into the farm work as they do into the day job so time isn't usually a factor.

It seems that a lot of people here these days seem to think that they know what's best for everyone else without knowing them, their farm or their work ability/ethic. Basically what I'm saying is that what's a no brainer for you is not necessarily a no brainer for everyone else because they don't farm the same land that you do and don't work in the same way!

So rounded solutions are more apt for people as opposed to one track views. As you rightly corrected in your post "horses for courses" rather than "Definitely a no-brainer"

Eh, "weldporn" is all one word. Putting in "weld porn" gets some other stuff altogether.

For any lad that's taking offense to what I'm saying, you're possibly missing my point. I agree with what reilig is saying but there are some of us who have scarce time. For those of us in that scenario getting a contractor in is a no-brainer. And it's for the plain and simple reason that otherwise it will just never get done. I'd love to dedicate more time to the farm but I just don't have it.

I tried to do it all myself the first few years after I took over the place and it is only really this year I'm getting on top of things since I've started getting lads in to do things for me. Even just spreading fertilizer with my tractor and my wagtail. You'll all know I've feck all machinery. I got a chain harrow 3 years ago and finally only got around to using it this year - despite great intentions. Now that is a waste of machinery.

I'd love to have more time to do more myself but I don't. This year has taught me for that likes of me with scarce time I need to use contractors or I'll never turn a pound out of the place. So relax lads, I'm only making a point, I'm not having a go at anyone.
