Big mower and insurance

Posted by markb on September 22, 2012 at 4:54pm in Machinery

I was just wondering how you go about insuring a larger mower so that you are able to road tax it and use it legally on the road. If I could also ask what sort of price is it for the machines you are using and who you are with?.

 

Thanks

Mark

    Ive tried the NFU today and they arnt sure if they can do this sort of policy. Who do you chaps use who are already doing commercial contracts?

    The NFU have the tag within the industry of :

    No Flippin Use (polite version)

    At least the nfu appear consistant about being not very good

    The Nfu do insure them. They get insured in the same way as. Tracors. I believe it is about £35 for the year.

    They wanted £500 to add a £500max Murray ride-on to my policy. Utter madness. They are useless insurers as t&s says

    Thanks Kieran. Do you mind me asking what machine you are using for it to be around £35. Have you got your PL with them?

  • Kieran Ray September 24, 2012 at 10:40pm
    We have 8 policies with them so I guess that helps our mutual bonus. Its a jacobsen ar250 but then it only does around 15 miles on the road a year.

    Thanks Kieran. Has anyone else got any other comments maybe different insurance companies you use?

    I use Giles. Changed from Simply Business 2 years ago. Double the cover at half the price. Dont know ( and i hope i never do) what they are like when it comes to a claim but have to say the rep i deal with is brilliant. Dont have my machines for road use though
