It's a strange set-up, alot of secondhand stuff like harvesters and jcb loading shovels is their years and instead of dropping price our selling to trade to get rid of they just keep stockpiling it, the prices for pretty rough 414s and 416s they want is comical

They always were an expensive shop to call to.. I had to be picked off the floor when I see the price on the window of the limited selection of 100hp secondhand tractors

I didn't realise that you could get slurry tankers that were capable of pumping to umbilical spreader,
Tenant here used them last week, a great option, in fact the only option this year.
Other tenant used an umbilical last week too with a fleet of tankers that connected to the pump at the field gate.
He was drawing 12 mls

Yep and the arm goes down and there's no leaving the tractor.
There's a contractor down this area has the tankers as well as the straightforward umbilical. They'd need them for places where the pipe won't go from the tank.
Costly job.

Yea likewise, the first contractors came with the pump then went back for the tankers, left no tracks

Base price

I passed by a yard in Tara, Co. Meath earlier last year and there was 8 or 10 artic tankers lined up by the road and into a yard. I had to slow down due to the artic's parking on the hard shoulder. It looked to me like they were emptying the slurry into a large grey rubber bladder thingie which was then pumped to an umbilical spreader.

Some contractors have a special trailer that parks at the field and tanks draw to it and it feeds the umbilical spreader , it’s like a silage trailer with out the back door

All you need is a garda pump on the tanker

Yeah that's called a slurry nurse trailer

how much is it costing to have a few tankers carting slurry to a field and then have an umbilical system spreading it - surely the economics of that make no sense

I'd say you'd be hitting 300 euro a hour with three tankers drawing and a umbilical in the field with another tractor agitating, once you start hauling slurry more then a 5 mile round trip it gets very expensive

Whos buying all the machinery in dealer yards. even this early in the year.?passed local massey dealers today and the place packed with all things farm machinery.
is gear being wore out that fast nowadays.
i know we are blessed in our greater area with lads with silage outfits and most other machines for farm work.
more over maybe is where is the moolah coming from to buy?

Artics are the only way to move anything bulk over 5 miles imo, be it silage/grain/slurry etc but then that bring other issues with yard access and handling at each end.

Alot of fresh secondhand stuff, sitting around dealer yards with no one for it, fusion balers been a good example, dealers are after dropping prices on them too to low 30's for well used fusion 3's but still not shifting them, the cost of fixing machinery nowadays means most lads are opting to pay finance instead

Would be a bit of creative accounting too, on paper their could be over 10 million of assets in the yard, if their was a dispersal sale in the morning with no reserve, if even half that was gathered up it would be good going

Repayments are cheaper than repairs

I used to draw grain from that land 20 years ago with artics, unfortunately there's a ghetto of ten houses built at the end of the road now and there's no peace doing anything there now, I used to fill the artic trailers on the road

Theres a rough 110-90 up there for 17k + VAT. That big Claas on tracks is a fair beast of a machine.
