That grab and loader/tractor look good together and I expect buying it out of season you get a bit of discount from the dealer .

Will pass it on but cant promise anything

Yes Chris it sounds like that plenty of nutrient in baked beans if that's what they feed me at lunch time but I hope I got a few more years before they put me away haha

Yes last time we was there at 2pm they said we could wander round and have a look

That looks a good model if it is the first one you have done well done

Andy not really a problem but now and again when I push the like button it comes up YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE REPUTATIONS TO THIS USER was at least once a week no certain topic or user just random last one was Sean but half hour later it went though ,not worried about it just letting you now . Happy New Year (bit late I now) Smithy

Pouring down of rain at moment so sat at office desk trying to fill in grain assurance paper work as got a inspection coming up in next few weeks ,also sorting out dates and booking in to all the training days we have to go on ,as don't wont to clash with the doe show and other free shows . First meeting is tomorrow morning with my Agronomist to complete my Nutrient Management Plan 2016 then next Wednesday 13th January at the Imperial War Museum Duxford , Cambridge where Frontier are holding a 3D THINKING SEMINAR not sure what this one means but it say at the bottom of booking in form LUNCH provided so that's good enough for me .Better get of he now and do some more boring paper work

Very heavy rain down here near Ipswich as well ,started about 4am and its now 7-50am and still ####### down

My father had about 60 sows up till 1969 but one of them nocked a heater lamp and the hole building went up in flames got the pigs out ok but building completely destroyed remember it well as I had a hole week of school to help look after them in temporary buildings insurance paid for building but sold the pigs off over the following weeks

I used to help a neighbour that had 50 cattle a few years back with his blood testing used to take up to 2 days to get the crush and gates /rails in place then another day to test them so I now what hassle it is

Only got 3 horses and 8 hens on the farm now ,up till about 1990 we used to have up to about a dozen beef cattle on the farm but as was not making a lot out of them and working away from farm a lot did not have a lot of time to look after them so got out ,been crops ever since then

That not good Chris all the work cattle take to look after them and then they fail the test then you have it on your mind the next 60 days ,and I thought arable farming was hard glad I not got cattle

It was your post in schuco 2015 ,quote I have for 2020 but who care as long as people share eh; I have just gone back to it and it is now showing my end that I liked it ,Robbo must be looking down on you and taken you of the naughty boy step

sounds about right Mark hope the rest of the year gets better

I have heard of your reputation sean but I don't believe what I was told haha

Done that to me before but a few hours later it had cleared its self and could post again

Yes hope so I should be there

Don't now how many Quality Street (other chocolate sweets are availably) I have worked of today but this morning a mixed up by hand two barrow loads of concrete and laid it to mend my mates path that we had to damage to rescue a cat , but that's another story and then this afternoon I filled a 4 ton trailer one and a half times with the muck out of my chicken shed I now it was not 4 ton when full but it was still a lot to put on with a 4 tine fork about ready for another Quality Street now

Sean ,Tractorman 810 perhaps you can help/explain ,when I push the like button as I tried a few moments ago on one of your posts it comes up as YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE REPUTATIONS TO THIS USER is it me or have you been a naughty boy ,it has done it before on some other members

Happy new year to all forum members from Smithy down here in a not so wet Suffolk

Thanks for the update Julian happy new year

That's a fantastic model you have added to you collection Paul and a big well done to Andy . As for something yellow could it be a D4 or 5? with a timber winch fitted

I don't now about filling in the gaps on this piece as he is still busy lifting beet at the moment so not spoken to him,but he has planted a lot of new hedge around other fields so maybe next year .also there is a shoot use this land and they like a hedge for the birds to fly over so the answer could be yes as for the machine they are planning on buying one so I said to the person operating it that I had some they could come and do

I am not sure what the cutting force is in tons of the hydraulic rams but will try to find out the driver did say that in soft-wood it is claimed to cut up to 300mm

It does look a bit brutal but what is left will regrow and then can be trimmed back with a normal trimmer to do this by hand would take several men (or women) a few weeks the driver is also putting most of the big bits in heaps that can be picked up for firewood at a later date in the year when the ground is drier
