Mainly I'd like to get rid of it while it still works! Can't see any medium/major parts being easy to source in the future, and I'm sure it'll have depreciated enough as it is- never mind if it doesn't run
That's rebranded resold Chinese machines for you, not something I'll be buying again. I'd like to buy another 'big' 100hp tractor, so I'll put whatever I get for the loader towards that. Between the tractor, forklift, 2.5 tonner and a -not yet purchased- cheap 2 or 3 ton dumper that'll cover everything the loader does.
I'd love a Multione but I've never had anywhere near enough suitable work to make one pay for itself

Saw the video of him belittling his well paying customer into buying him a fillet steak then eating it bare handed infront of him in the site office(while everyone else had cardboard pizza)
was enough for me to not watch him again! His work is amazing and grafts better than anyone but stuff like that doesn’t sit right!

I like eggs but you have your own hens right ?

I get 90 for £20, free range. Known the farmer years, I drop wood for his fire off from jobs etc. Don't mind taking the eggs with a bit of crap on them, they're going to be scrambled most of the time.
Whole lambs butchered were £125 each for me last year! And have a constant supply of venison from a mate who borrows bits from me.
We eat like kings, very cheap.

Nice, I got some free venaison from someone in the local Hunt last year - minced into burgers they were superb.

They are! Although does best mixed with a little beef. Sometimes he makes me burgers and they are great but the mince I find very versatile. It's just time consuming to make apparently.
I'm looking out for a cheap industrial mincer then I'll help him do a few as mince freezes nice and compact compared to joints and can be used in quick dishes (we cook from scratch every night)

Not a bottom I could ever reach
Spot on
Took down an block extension that was added to a 1830's stone built house in the 60's
Cleared the oversite and found a shaft so that was plugged with 2 loads of concrete then when digging footings near the original house found another shaft 6ft off of it
so cleaned it out and make ready for concrete then when digging footings where old garage was found a hole going down 4 m to rock with a tunnel going off of it
So we got 2 more loads of concrete in and plugged shaft by house and then while pouring hole with tunnel the load was disappearing in the tunnel concrete only came up couple ft
So dug the footings the other side and found a soft spot cleaned it out and found a stope where the roof had collapsed in so cleaned it out basically one side of the new extension to the other hole was huge in the end and we had lost a lot of our pins the engineer had set out so was hard to do steps in foundation to step them all down 18" the shuttering would have been ridiculous to hold back the weight of the concrete and take so long to set up including engineer to mark them out again so decision was to fill it all up to the the higher footing level so where the narrowest part was we used the huge stones to make a shutter on top of previous poured 2 loads

I must say I do not envy you working around those. I think I would be sh*tting myself the whole time waiting for the world to disappear. And sod building a house on it
