As I said above... 24.5 bales... 30 minutes per bale... about 12ish tonnes of plastic... when clean it will be worth good money as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pics by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I liike the way Lumpy has a personallised numebr plate mate, LFS? Lumpy Fanny Seany? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've been paid a tidy sum to clean it as well Kris... so it will get unpacked... one at a time and cleaned... like this it's worth aboput £40 pt.... clean is can be £200 pt and more I reckon it will be a days work per bale.... or maybe a little less.. some of it is clean anyway... facilities don't exist for recycling dirty product at the minute.... this is pioneering work really... and pretty unique... but British Sugar have taked me with recycling it regardless of cost... They are a cracking company to work with - very forward thinking and totally committed to the environment I liike the way Lumpy has a personallised numebr plate mate, LFS? Lumpy Fanny Seany? Lumpy is flipping stupid more like :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON. Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice work there Marky good to see your investment paying off i always knew it would 100 % work ;) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Wow done Marky and Lumpy and frankie of course. So Marky you get paid to bale it..... and get to keep the bales ? Then you get paid to clean it, then you sell it. Hooo cool is that. Well done mate, and a brillant idea :) Barry are you really moving to cambridge??

Then you get paid to clean it, then you sell it. Hooo cool is that. Well done mate, and a brillant idea :) Barry are you really moving to cambridge?? we do indeed Addy.... silly really.. although the plastic market is somewhat erratic at the minute... I may well have to sit on this stuff to get maximum value on it \ Thanks for the kind words.. although... I would say that the 'doubters' are right at the minute... we still don't have the volume of business to warrant the capital expenditure on plant to date... but it's encouraging to see things evolve in the right direction for sure The problem for me is that I'm use to selling to my customers every day/week with small order values... this is the complete opposite... once or twice a year and high value \ But lets not forget the key factor here.... I get to drive Frankie about for hours and hours :D Anyone want 20t of baled cardboard... it's gone from £62 pt to just £20 (if you are lucky) at the minute :'( :'( - it's a very difficult market to get your head around I'll say that \ Oh... by the way... I'm moving to the Udimore valley shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Wassup Mark,can't see you or Frankie Regards Joe. Just noticed.... it's currently double the size of that picture... that must be a very old image I think.... I'll see if I can get a more recent one My mate fly's his glider over there regularly - I am sure he took some recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Your absolutely correct Mark,I've just measured it on Google Earth,and it comes out at just over 13 acre, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 So how often do they have stone throwing comps then :D Looks like a good days work mark, sounds like all enjoeyd it, Re the forks, most guys drive around the roads with forks on here.... if you want to make them safer on the road... Make a slip bar, _|_|_ looks like that, slides ovr the forks so you have a flat bar on the end, most of the time we have hazzard pannels on each side for poping out on corners. make sence? its how my mate runs all his forks on his crew I only asked about 4wd as it looked like you had it on in one of the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ah I see.... On the forks front... good idea mate... I may well get something fabricated like that... and painted in a bright colour as well.. On the 4wd front... I never have it on really mate... I've only used it once when I was unloading a lorry with wet slippery ramps.... I think that's the only time it's been on in 200 hours It comes on automatically when the brakes are applied of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Now then... in all the 'Mavis excitment' I forgot to update Frankies topic... here she is sporting her new reversing camera.. My camera can't pic up the screen very well.. but the lines on the screen are the warehouse door behind the baler.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
