Looks like it has grass tyres, so may well have been used for looking after sports fields, maybe a golf course (or a very large lawn). Not sure of the Landini model, though. Might be a Landini 7500, but with the grill changed and the lights moved outside the grill. Could well have been a mod done to give better light coverage for a specialist grounds keeping type job, as the grill looks to be non-standard. Oh wow, thanks.

Chaz Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 So we have one more 'offering' of what the tractor could be. Below is the quoted text. “I would say a Shibaura 4040. Not 100% sure but google images of them and the grille is different but the hydraulic lines are in the correct place with a similar bend.” I dont know much about them, it certainly looks more like a Landini than any pic I could find of the Shibaura. Anyways - we are waiting to hear if our offer for this property is going ahead or not and will then report back as things progress. There will also be a loft conversion in this chapter too at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Sadly whilst our offer has been accepted, it looks like the Tractor wont be included. Edited February 6, 2020 by Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 The house purchase is now progressing, property taken off the market, solicitors etc now engaged. Does anyone know where I can get a price for Agilia Concrete to be used as a base for the workshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Agila is a bit overkill for a workshop floor - ring round and see who does a pump grade concrete and just get it with a decent slump and it will flow. I’ve found a local supplier who can do a self compacting concrete for about £110/CuM with fibers which is about £45 less than the big providers. Pays to ring around.

Found a place down here that'll do pumped for I think it was £90/CuM. Neighbour had it. No minimum either. Mad to even consider self mixing at that price.

Oz07 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Might be a pumpable mix but be suprised if that price includes pump? Edited February 11, 2020 by Oz07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfo pump lorry turned up. Thinking about it the lorry parked on another neighbours drive and my neighbour dumpered the mix to his place.

Their email address for this product doesnt work but I found these guys - waiting for a quote - http://mpaliquidscreed.co.uk/. Why would Agilia be considered overkill? A friend of mine used it and from what I understand, it needs little / no work and therefore whilst a bit more expensive, less costs on the labour side and leaves a great finish for a workshop floor.

Chaz Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 So I've engaged with 3 architects to get an idea of their approach, pricing etc. First thoughts, some consistency in their views about the workshop. Their fees however range from 'OK' to 'Whoa, that's a lot of money'. So not sure how to select who to go for. I need to do a bit more work looking at options etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Update time, Covid 19 clearly messed up lots of peoples plans and created havoc. Our purchase has been delayed and we are hoping to complete by the end of June. So, we have found an architect to look at a loft conversion and the barn. My current guess is that we will try and fund the loft and Ill try and 'fix' the barn structure and get a floor poured. So looking to repair / replace some of the steel / wood used in the structure and go from there. Will of course keep updating this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
