    Bit of a warning and rant here folks.

    Look after your machines and try and make sure that they are secure. Called down to a neighbour that was cutting turf and this is what he was greeted with this morning. :mad:

    Guards reckon that they tried to rob one of his diggers. When that failed they burnt that one out. Smashed the windows in the other and smashed the windows in his tractor and slashed all the tires on the hopper. Poor man has called in reinforcements and is on the go again.

    Didn't know what to say to the man this morning. May whoever did this die screaming for a doctor :mad:

    Horrible horrible bastards :mad:

    Wasn't there an incident aa few years ago down around Wexford where a tractor baler and combine i think were burned. Saw pics in the Journal. Arson was suspected. Bit of a dispute over land.

    That's all it was. It wasn't too put him out of work as he said himself if they wanted to cause real harm they would have just burned everything and he would have been screwed.

    Guards reckon the fresh digger was burned to cover their tracks from forensics as it was the one they were after. It had the normal tracks where the older one had the wider bog tracks on it do would be harder to transport

    That's seriously affected the man's livelihood. How long till the money comes through and his equipment is replaced?

    What is he to do in the meantime?

    Hire replacement kit.

    Nobody died. Surely he was insured for consequential loss?

    I really hope no one does to you what this man went through last night as you clearly haven't a clue.

    You can't just go hire specialised bog equipment out of a yard. It takes time and money to modify the diggers and machinery. All his equipment was custom built by himself. How do ya replace that?

    Actually I do.
    I've an interest in a farm in the East and this is an infrequent occurance.
    Insure properly and therefore manage risk.

    Its easy to replace normal machinery but what
    About specialist bog equipment?

    Completely different to your farm makes like balers and combines that a neighbour might have to dig ya out.

    I can't do business for that man.
    I despise what was done to his property, but that's all it is...destruction of property.

    You may have over-reacted in your previous post. That's all. End of.

    Once again you come out as arrogant as hell in your posts.

    The man arrives down and finds ALL his machines that he pretty much custom built himself vandalised and some destroyed and your attitude is "sure it's only an insurance job" he'll be grand sure just hire in more equipment.

    You haven't a notion of what these men do or require equipment wise. If you seen the damage first hand like I did you wouldnt be thinking I over reacted.

    It's the same as someone burning all your combines with no hope of replacing them in time for the harvest but as I said you haven't a clue what these men do to keep going.

    Your a very narrow minded person I have to say.
