Saw these vids come up whilst watching the steels for the yard. Love your little trailer. I bought a similar one at a Farm Sale in Battle in Sussex. Towed it home with my Citroen BX at up to 50mph! Only when I go home did I find out the bed wasn't bolted to the chassis. Restored it and made a great trailer for Horse muck at the Stables. Still going strong today. Crack On!
The job's coming along well, I thought you were going to rip up way more than that. My family laid loads of concrete on the yards and roads around our old farm in Hertfordshire. I'm pretty sure they laid that on the chalk just under the surface, we were near the pitstone tunnel cement chalk pits, there was loads of it around that area. That would of been about 40 years ago but the whole farms been demolished now, it's kind of sad it was an old Rothschild family farm of historic importance. Thats a fancy truck bringing in the base, but you'd of thought with the way it's set up with the roll tarp and the tailgate having all the remote functions from the cab. Somebody would of made the tailgate latches different, so the driver didn't have to pick rock out with a screwdriver before locking it from the cab . Thanks for the video' take care guys.
They laid that concrete onto the ground without a foundation must went an used a roller and packed the soil so to lay the concrete and it held up for 40 years. It might have been that a rock formation under the soil to allow pouring of the concrete onto the ground nice video Richard.
My father bought a new Marshal trailer just like that one in the 70's and my brother still uses it on his campsite. Look after it. They don't make them like that anymore ; )
Joe Smith literally lets the digger man crack on himself and if Richard has to go do something else he would be able to instead of taking them one bucket at a time
I'm guessing you'd be more than willing to keep going forward and back in an excavator 20-40 times just to move the chippings then? I'd say the words convenience and effeciency don't exist in your vocabulary...
Don’t you just love all the arm chair experts who like spending someone else’s money.As long as Richard with how the job is progressing that’s all that matters.
I do love the wayboard warriors ...... alllllllllll I wouldn't have done it like that... always make me laugh !! looks like they're doing a good job .. Brillant videos as always!
Must be no digger men round you Richard.... You need at least a 10ton machine at that job. Half day job digging out, put in the crusher run, vibrate then pour concrete all same day!!
Stephanie Robinson that would be great but that would cost a lot more than the way Richard is going to do it, with one man using his smaller slew at his own pace.
😂😂 love how people think bigger is always better but yet dont think of cost and how well a job is getting done with a little one, people like you would soon go bankrupt if running a business or farm
Richard I was impressed by how well your concert and how well it has held up, however I think you probably do need the steel mesh and 6 inch depth with hard core base for your new concrete , because today’s concrete is not very gd compared to the concrete you used to get 40 years ago.
hi richard i am a builder myself and before you lay the concrete on the stone you should wack it so it’s nice and compact so that it has a solid base 👍🏽😂🚜
As far as I know asbestos fibres were only used in roofing sheet and insulation products and never in floor or foundation concrete. The fibres were used to reinforce the white cement mix when making thin cement based products and as such would not be cost effective or needed in other concrete products.
The loader tractor would be a LOT fast with the bucket on moving the new stone 🤔🤔

Good work rich nearly at 100k keep doing vid's like these and you'll get there no bother

No one's mentioned you need a larger trailer or a bigger digger. I'm guessing they must be out working to pay for them.
LOL😁😂👍👍
I would make him put on a digging bucket or out the gate
Do love all the experts 🙂
I would of crushed that concrete and reused it 🤔
Jack of all trades Master he is going to reuse it but a don’t think he will crush it any smaller

New flat clean concrete pad will make you feel better about things. Not sure why it does. Will make your life easier for sure. 🤙
In your last video you said the concrete was damaged by silage effluent but you got less nowadays. Is that because you make drier silage?
Yes we don't get the effluent we used to. A few farmers have said the same.

I thought the hole yard was being done
Some of those rocks/stones being dug up look very similar to the ones you see being ploughed up on your maize ground.
Plenty of keyboard warriors in this comment section
Yes it does get a bit wearing
Yet another good video Mr Funky Farmer .
Fill a trailer with stone just to take it 10ft and dump it, unbelievable.

can tell you have zero groundwork experience
Is it me or is the digger going very slow?
Its you.

Great job
Why did you not use Norton trailer
Its a lot higher to load, so would need moving more as the excavator loaded it.
The little 5ton jcb would barely reach into it.... It would get trashed with the rubble after its revamp!
I didn't want to dent or scratch it
Richard is happy
Number 1 great video
Cmon funky farmer we need more videos good job your doing this will make your life so much easier
👍

I don’t like to be negative but I think a we hen would scrape more than that digger
your dreaming if you think you could get all that dug out, prepped AND concreted in a day ! no chance 🤣🤣
😂😂 love how people think bigger is always better but yet dont think of cost and how well a job is getting done with a little one, people like you would soon go bankrupt if running a business or farm
Stephanie Robinson size of the area he’s doing a 10ton would be more of pain in the arse than anything
Nice work

Agree, also the contractors tractors and trailers are now a lot heavier although arguably they do run on wider tires.
Bully mate ! Good show
Thought had new trailer u painted
Didn't want to dent or scratch it
You should youse your notion trailer
Alex Mclellan the digger would barely reach into and a doubt he’s going very far with it so no need for the bigger trailer
hi richard i am a builder myself and before you lay the concrete on the stone you should wack it so it’s nice and compact so that it has a solid base 👍🏽😂🚜
Good video Richard 👍🏻
Is this asbestos concrete??
As far as I know asbestos fibres were only used in roofing sheet and insulation products and never in floor or foundation concrete. The fibres were used to reinforce the white cement mix when making thin cement based products and as such would not be cost effective or needed in other concrete products.
Is there a follow on video . . .? I can't seem to find it, where the new concrete is laid ......
All in good time. I only uploaded this one today
