With these new haulage rules in next week - it might end golden Wexford straw!

whats it? 4.65m overall height. hesstons strings up are 1.15 by 3 rows is 3.45m . whats the height of a flat bed 1.3m?

to get max weight on truck now it will be 8x4x3 first row standing(strings up) and 2 rows on the flat. 38 bales now by law (actually outside law as load will be over 9ft wide) instead of 44 on a load. will add considerable cost. were managing creatively this year to get up 52bales on step frame

which inspection, I had reps inspection and no mention of that

I'm not sure tbh. I don't remember if they said which one but it was suggested that everyone should say they had a contractor in to do the spraying unless they had the calibration report. One lad from your neck of the woods did say to the inspector that he had a contractor do it and he was asked who the contractor was.

less said the better

I taught who was looking after the child was to get the children's allowance, the 4th child rule must be hitting you hard

yep, 4.65m, that will spell the end of using normal flats for straw now.

You won't be making me too rich anyway - most of our straw under our own stock

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That woman probably values your contact as much as you do sure.

whelan1 · 24-10-2013 02:30PM

had to laugh, the woman was whispering everything i said, there must have been words after the last time i rang, fair play to them on the website will use it next time i want to order, looks very impressive

Fair play to them. They are only about 10 years behind the time now.

I left 3 messages over 3 different days with my details on their answering machine last week and I got 3 calls from the same person on Monday. Mad operation.:(
