smithy

picked these up last week

Nice turnout there ,thanks for showing 👍

Thanks for the offer of a demo if we was bit closer , for me i think the pistol-grip one will be easer to hold with my slightly bent wrist , i have a pistol-grip air chisel that i get on with ok , i have a pair of wheels i would like to clean up ,will let you now when i get one and yes got the earplugs ready and a set of earmuffs to go over the top 👍

Would not say it really annoyed me but ,we have a tea room up farm and wife keeps it stocked up ,packet say 5 slices ,yes there is 5 slices but why make the inner tray big enough for 6

Monday afternoon and most of Tuesday i was spreading this ORIGIN POLYSULPHATE (sulphur), normally get it mixed in with Nitrogen but this year it was not available , so i got straight nitrogen and this polysulphate ,neither was cheap but was the best way to do it allow it was a extra pass though the crops . I had never spread the polysulphate before and in the Amazone book there is loads of different fertilisers listed but not this one ,so at 8am on monday morning i logged onto the Amazone website and told them what i had to spread ,rate it needed to go on at my planned forward speed etc and emailed it off to them in Germany ,10 minutes later i got a reply and 3 pages of information which i downloaded and printed off , set the spreader up as they had said and made a start ,i had 9 600kg bags to spread over 66ha (165 acres roughly i think) ,got it all done and there was just enough left in the spreader to run around the headland again on the last field to completely empty out ready for a wash down . Really good service and advice from Amazone 👍

Monday lunchtime i took a call to say my chainsaw parts had come in so i quickly nipped over to Does at Framlingham to pick them up ,the case tractors are going out on hire any day now and the two green ones have been traded in for red ones

Its his 3rd birthday and he came up the farm ,one of his favourite things to do is clime up the rubble heap ,he has fallen a few times but he still keep going up it

The other day i was trimming some conifers and grandson Theo came to help with his toy chainsaw ,hard-hat, and tractor trailor to cart the bits away . He then went and found a big puddle as it was more fun driving though that than clearing up conifers VID-20220306-WA0009.mp4

This was last week, yes it was sad as it was a lady that we have know for several years from the next village to us ,but i thought i would share with you the wonderful horses

Been to my local agri- machinery dealer today ,AGRI-HIRE ,and spoke to my mate that works there about needle-guns ,he is getting some info on some and coming back to me shortly , Pistol-grip ones .

Good photos Paul ,allow i think he has to much air in the front wheels ☺️ they seem to be floating in the 2nd photo 😄

These ones had also fallen in the last storms , one of these had also fallen so i took the rest down as they have been dead a long time and wobbled when i pushed on them . Got a decent load of wood again . This Oak has been rotten on this side for a few years now but today we noticed it has a split going right up the main trunk now from the recent storms ,probably be one of the next ones to fall .

Cleared this one up on Saturday, firewood will be handy for the woodburner next winter if oil stays at todays prices

Looking real good there Paul , i have thought about getting a needle gun ,any recommendations as to make ,is it a slow job

I would say 2 coats , to me it looks like its been treated well

Great job there Paul/Gemma , Gemma must have a good teacher to be able to weld uphill ☺️ i struggle on the flat.

I should be up there looking around we will have to try and meet up and say hello 👍

Thats some model ,well done loooks great

Job i had not planned but this bit of a roof on a old shed was dripping in places so while i got the asbestos skip still on the farm i decided to strip this bit off and chuck in the skip ,i have several sheets of tin already on farm to recover with

Yes we all spell things wrong at times 👍

I nipped over to the land i rent a few miles away from the farm and found this in the corner of the field , i will get a mate in next weekend if its dry to come over to help me tidy it up ,probably take JCB if really dry and bring trunk home on trailor to ring up

Here it is Phil ,it is just a basic rear mounted transport box on cat 1 linkage for my Sirromer tractor ,but i adapted a frame i had with cat 2 pins which fitted my front linkage ,i welded on 2 cat 1 linkage balls/arms and 2 plates up for top link ,this way i can drop my linkage off and it will still go on the Sirromer ,if you take a pin out and pull a bit of rope (not fitted) it will tip ,like i said i only use it for chainsaws or other little things that come up

Funny CAR to have kittens😂

I will get some close up photos hopefully tomorrow

That blue one looks just the job from the photos
