Anyone else if you would like to veiw log into Clarke & Simpson ,think there is 64 pages , few models and brocures in first 10 or so pages ,make yourself 2 cups of coffee and sit and have a look . The sale ground is in the middle of 2 carparks ,the carparks are full of machinery so parking on village hall football pitch next door and some of the containers are not on site as they are still at place that they have been used at ,saves moving them twice

It certainly is ,as from 9am tomorrow the countdown begins , they said it works out that 12 lots should end every minute but if someone bids in last minute it puts it back by 5 minutes or so . The people at the sale ground said some of them would be at work for 14hrs as sale would be 9am to 9pm

Yes ,i did not look in cab to see if it had still the headlining i should have done . One sidelight was missing and exaust was slightly bent back

Last ones i just took at random ,so much to look at .There is also a building full of tools ,welders, and other bits all to bid on

A few more ,something for everyone

There is all sorts of stuff to be sold

There is around 3500 lots which start to end online from tomorrow (wednesday)

Monday morning i nipped over to Clarke & Simpson sale ground at Campsea Ashe as they have a online collective auction

That is how a lot of cabs are , some controls can be linked to the tractor screen if you have the right software

Had a walk over beet field this evening ,they are coming though ok but so are the weeds ,got to spray them in next day or so

Had to fit a new bunded oil tank at home ,old one was single skin and got a few cracks ,anyway lifted it up with JCB to drain out the last bit , will use old tank for holding rainwater which i can then have one tankfull for spraying instead of mains water

Fitted new LED front marker lights on trailer as rubber was splitting on old bulb type ones

Well done John 👍

Glad to see he is keeping busy and still driving a McCormick

Well done Matt 👍

That a nice shiny roof hope rest of tractor is not dull/faded

It struggled on the hills 😂 i would have put few more bales on but there was a bench seat fixed in middle of trailer so not easy stacking around it

I borrowed PDC (Paul Capon) trailer last august for a wedding ,its been in my barn ever since anyway as it was dry saturday morning i set off about 6.45am to take it back ,its about 1hr 40 minutes each way ,as his daughter has got a horse i put a few smallbale of hay and straw on as a Thank you

First thing friday morning while it was slightly damp i cut a few grass margines and footpaths

Spraying and more spraying since tuesday

Few little jobs today like spraying weeds around the yard ,trimming a hedge overhanging from a garden and few other odds and ends but got photo of granddaughter helping me put row crops on sprayer ,got jcb tines under back end to lift it up ,bit quicker and safer than a hydrolic jack

That looks great Paul/Gemma ,you hard work has paid off 👍

Motherinlaw got this tree that was in wrong place ,3 electric cables in it and 3 telephone cables, was a time when i would have cut itback myself anyway got the experts in this morning ,roughly 3hrs work ,theychipped all small bits and i took big bits away ,i will cut and split them and take back for the woodburner . Left the main trunk up high as there is a bird box on side that blue **** are in ,been watching since finished and they are still going in and out 20230513_090109.mp4
