Upgraded the fertiliser spreader to a new Amazone with weigh cells and section control 

Nice spreader, i just got one as well a couple of weeks ago , mine has weigh cells and section control 

Back on monday 9th January just as i was leaving to go up to Lamma for a couple of days i took a call from a mate saying that another mate had taken his own life on the Sunday . Anyway funeral was today place was packed out . He was into mustang cars and there was 20 of them following the hearse you could hear the roar from there engines as they came down the main road . Dont really know why he did it but something was troubling him , he had a good send off  

When i got back to farm yesterday afternoon i got lawnmower on a table on washed it down underneath as i have got to get the streering sorted out cogs are bit worn and jump if turning quickly ,was able to hold up in air on jcb to wash underneath 

Yesterday my mate called in for a few hrs and finished welding this back together , got the angle on the top of main beams so any grain that comes over the top should fall off as no flat surfaces . Also cut and drilled a thicker bit to bolt along the bottom ,just got to get a thick bit of rubber to put along bottom as a ware strip

Just spotted my spelling mistake its supposed to be THE but put to twice😂 i blame the phone 

Wow to to roll made me feel hungry , its a shame that tractors get left to the salt but its a tribute to there build that they have lasted so long , cant see newer one lasting that long to the salt

Hi anyone know what the Halfords spray cans  Ford 5000 blue n Muguard / wheel rims  grey? white ?  colours are?

Probably completely wrong but Ford Dove Grey rings a bell , brain not what it used to be , also ford Galaxy Blue ,this might be to dark might suit E27n cant remember .For white think i used Appliance white ,as in fridges/washing machines but like i said cant really remember    

He came back with a yes as long as i buy thes of him ,they are Ertl not in best condiction as rams broken and bit of rust on rams .Anyway we had a deal in the end .It was the Dell boy i really wanted but job lot was ok 

Yes this not agri but thought i would share it with you ,other day i come across this and owner said he would sell but not sure of value so made a offer and he said he would come back in a day or so with a yes or no

Yes its not a model but not going to start a new topic just for one mug ,got this last weekend while over at show in France

Wow looks brilliant ,well done 👍

Bit done this afternoon in a few hours up at the yard with Gemma,  weights given there first dose of red lead, stabiliser brackets given a clean up with wire brush before meeting the paint brush also, inner weight frame blued as I'd had a comment or two about the lack of dark blue paint 🤣 set of hydraulic couplings fitted to the newly acquired mountings and piped up to the spools with a set of new hydraulic hoses that I had made up during my brew times at work, finally plough lights fitted to rear wings and wired up to test but need a grommet or two for the cable entrys... Still a bit to do but can see headway into having the back end finished off and then it's bits on going finishing rest of tractor... 

Looking very good , well done Gemma and Paul 👍

I better get some bales of straw fixed in it so you can sit down and clean the small window at front so you can see where you are going and if i open the small grain shoot at back you can see where you have been 😂
