It's called inflation don't you know?
@10% pa that's why interest rates have gone up , the Bank of England use the price of imported compressors as an excuse to squeeze us even harder

Do you get it tested every year?

Ehh…



…it’s on the todo list.

What’s the regulations on testing compressors, I’m a one man band, do I need it tested? How many farmers get compressors tested??

 

[Slackjawedyokel]

Around here many farmers have had HSE inspections. They are couched as being nicey nicey but as soon as they find a fail they become chargeable which I understand starts at over £400.
And they come back to check you’re compliance.

Hence the question; can I sidestep that by ditching my old compressor and getting a new low capacity model?

Over 250bar litres. Mate has a big one that'll run a 3/4 windy gun, gets his tested but he employs a couple of lads. From what I saw the tester seemed to do a general condition check, drain the tank of any moisture and check it switched off

or hiding the old one at inspection time ?

The thing is; HSE bods (probably) aren’t idiots. All farms will have a compressor because all farms need to check and inflate their tyres; it’s unlikely we do it elsewhere. They may believe I only use a small volume compressor which doesn’t need testing but they won’t believe I don’t have one at all
