Kinel £70 a ton. Collected some yesterday at £6pt screened but untested and top quality super dooper top soil is £16pt. And it's in aboundence every yard round here.£70 a ton?!!! Holey moley!! I’ve 1kton+ of it stacked up in my yard and another heap that’s probably half that by time it’s gone through
Might buy a screening bucket myself now
Locally it makes no sense for us screening anything on site.

I’ve the llyod 4-9 ton setup with split pins to fit my 5 ton Kubota or 9 ton Takeuchi
That was it going home after its first job that actually paid for it off one job. We screened about 200 tons so 200 x 18 = £3600 muck away and 150 tons soil bought in 150 x 40 = £6000. And the client was over the moon as was all from site and no foreign seeds etc and reduced carbon from no wagons etc. Got sent up the chain as a sustainable development win. We’ve just not had a job for it since last summer.
We also used the rocks we got out for a track base was win all rd
Got 1-2k ton pile at our rugby club but no use for that soil currently

It cost me £8220 plus vat with the 4 pin head so I guess given it’s brand new I’d want £7500 plus vat I’m in no rush to sell it though will come in again for sure. There’s planning in at moment for a very big job at a NT stately home that’s across the valley from my yard so I think next year it’ll be busy again. Plus I can hire it to Dave to print some money out of his pile haha might even have a 3cx breaker headstock here so he can run it on our 2002 sticks 3cx for some nostalgia haha

Haha no bargains hereI thought you said it had paid for itself!! I was looking for a bargain!!
It’s paid for and we’ll use it again no need or desire to sell it
Tempted to get one for 3 ton to be more mobile option for extensions etc where 5/9 ton too big rather than riddling with rake but @Gunners has one he hasn’t used just uses rake instead

The screen be a handy thing to hire on a big job! I’m sure in the right conditions you could fire a fair heap though it in no time?
is that a farmers day or 8 hours?

Will remember that. My crusher man has the same crusher, similar price.

can't see how any of that can be construed as legal ... digger lad is obviously over weight ... "Agricrusher" FFS .. pretty obvious that that is rarely going to be crushing anything remotely agricultural .. ditto the screener ... and before anyone says they could be towed by a fully compliant, tacho fitted traccy, running on white ... pull the other one

With the crusher and screener would it be possible to register them and the tractor as mobile plant or similar and just run on white.
Unlike tractors and low loaders who's sole purpose is to avoid running a wagon those crushers on a tractor seem quite a logical route, especially to earn a big tractor keep out of winter. And it encourages recycling which is surely a point for them
