He mentioned the tank is 1000l and costs £1,300 to fill. Wouldn't that take red diesel, or not because I see it also has a reg plate?
He made a reference to "if you were to take it to the filling station", implying that that isn't the true cost.

You can use red diesel on the road, but if HMRC get wind you have to be able to show that it's only been used to get from farm to farm/field to field, not for general road use, IIRC.

Edit: Don't think being road registered makes a difference to whether or not you can use red diesel but happy to be corrected, I never lived on a farm, just around them ;)

I've just ordered 1400l of oil this morning, cost £734. So it would be somewhere around £500 to fill, assuming kerosene 28 is a similar price per litre to red diesel and that you could drive to the pump rather than having to have the tanker come to you. ETA: I've just checked Boilerjuice and it seems red diesel is actually 20% pricier than kerosene 28, despite being a cruder fraction of oil. So £600 to fill.

I haven't managed to watch the full video yet; the chap next to me on the train got quite excited by it playing on my phone so I ended up chatting to him the whole journey :lol:

You can use red diesel on the road if the vehicle is registered as a tractor, my grandad used red diesel in his Unimogs.

If you said to me, "hey, watch this walkaround of a combine harvestor", despite my love of mechanical things, I'd be a bit 'bleh'.

You say to me it's Harry Metcalfe, and I'm in.

Lets see Schmee make people want to watch a video about a teleshift, eh?

I think a Shmee video with a combine harvester would be quite entertaining.






























But only if he is being “harvested” :twisted:
How about not having a sig at all?

I think he said "would cost" to make it relatable for car drivers. It's tank will be brimmed with farmhouse red 😆

Why is it called a combine harvester? It doesn't combine anything. It separates. It should be called a separate harvester.

Probably because it combined several farm jobs into one machine.

"The modern combine harvester, or simply combine, is a versatile machine designed to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations - reaping, threshing, and winnowing"

you jumped in quick with a clearly rushed answer, whereas GG took his time to give a more concise one. In the end, you reap what you sow.
