I do have a tractor but its having a loader fitted and bale handler/spikes so it will depend on how long it takes to order the brackets as to how long I'm tractorless Evil or Very Mad

I'll have to speak very nicely to the neighbours

bronskibeat I don't envy the move, it is the lambs, I can to have the lambs and kids from the goats but none this spring, I am not over this move and winter has taken it's toll on me, I feel like I am 80, just so tied and worn out, I am a old dish rag to be hung out on a line, good luck with the move and don't over do it and wear yourself out

thanks skye girl, I'll try not too but it is fairly daunting looking around at the amount of equipment a farm accumulates and has to be moved Shocked

I'm looking forward to being there, its just the "getting there" .........

Nonie its a Zetor (9415, I think....) as thats what all the hill boys recommended for the area. A good friend had a bad accident in a tractor on the hills and broke his pelvis very badly. He was lucky, it could have killed him. he wont have anything else than the Zetor now for his land so have gone on recommendation. I do however, have an old red MF which is very useful too Wink

No thank heavens but I dearly wish it would all just materialise over there... Rolling Eyes

I am really not looking forwards to moving it all Sad

I have until mid July to get it all shifted, trouble is, I need it all there now..........
There must be people who specialise in moving farms, I'll have to have a look on google because I dont have a trailer to shift the stuff (well, I do but not one that fits on a landrover......... Rolling Eyes

We plan to move to France in the not too distant future and this firm was recomended to me they do move vehicles but I do not know whether just UK to France or within the UK might be worth a phonecall

Have you got a local farm or small firm of hauliers who have a large curtainside lorry? People near us "borrowed" a farm lorry, with driver and 40' trailer to move a few years ago. They did it at the weekend when the driver wasn't working and the lorry wasn't needed on the farm and just paid for the diesel and bought the driver a couple of bottles and a slap-up-dinner.

They did several trips with everything from the house furniture to a load of driving carriages on board.
