Other equipment experience

I have spent the last 14 years driving for an agricultural contractor on a full and part time basis. During this time I have gain experience with a large amount of tractors and machinery. Tractors are mainly new holland, from 110 hp to 200hp. Some of the machinery I have become competent in operating are jd and Mchale Bailer's, including the fusion, bale wrappers, JD 10 foot mowers and Mchale front and rear mounted 10 foot mowers,slurry agitators, tankers and slurry umbilical system, McConnell fail hedge cutter and wakley mounted saw hedge cutters, also saw hedge cutter on a 12 ton tracker digger, I have spent a great deal of time on these hedge cutters nc dump trailer and tri axle low loader moving a 12 ton tracked digger, which I also drive, along with bales and any other items we require it to transport. Peat Turf cutting is another role I preform, we use dual wheels and very wide and heavy machinery. I have not as much experience with cultivation as it is not a big operation done in my area however Last year I spent 3 months working for a contractor in buckinghamshire and developed my skills on grain carting with 12 to 16 Tom trailers, bale carting with arctic trailers, I also did a lot of cultivating with a claas tracted tractor and a simba solo and rexus cultivators. I have also operated a Kuhn 8' power harrow, landlever, chain harrow, mounted sprayer and seeding barrow. On my home farm I also have a wide range of experience from bale handling to harvesting our own silage with own harvester. We hire a skid steer on a regular basis to dung out cow sheds, tractor front loaders and loaders are also something I have found myself operating. I am also very willing to learn any new skills required

Other livestock experience

I have grown up on the family farm and have been preforming duties from harvesting silage to calving cows and all duties associated with suckler farming from an early age and up to today
