smithy

I got asked today if i could help some tree surgeons drop some trees and lift out of the ditch some big/old willow stumps, also used my JCB as a anchor with a rope which was threaded though the top of the front carriage and back to there truck as it had a winch built in the front , we was working on one of my grass strips around edge of the water course 20220214_092104.mp4 20220214_093926.mp4 20220214_094733.mp4

Looks good from the photos Sean

That 5000 is a unusual one Paul like you say it must be strange sitting up above the dashboard

Tulip Queen ?🤔 are you at the right show🤣 ,and what sort of shandy is it haha

Yes get in touch with Scaledown ,they used to sell the parts separately from the kit

Must be 12 years then since me and Martyn came to yours one evening to pick one up ,them years have gone by quick

GPS stuff is being stolen every week all over the UK and being shipped abroad , i think the newer ones can be blocked if stolen allow i suspect like mobile phones they can be hacked ,the old ones cant be blocked but they can track them once they are connected up to the satellites and they are all in country's abroad and the insurance company's dont go after them ,one dealer down this way lost 15 domes of the roof and i think it was 10 in cab screens one night last year .

My latest brochure ,

I have been getting the last few hedges cut ,this one not been cut for 5 years ,it looked a mess before i started and it defiantly looked a mess when i finished ,it really needs a tree-shear on a 360 to nip it all of at the bottom and then let it regrow ,its not really my hedge it is around a sewage works that serves the local army camp and it belongs to them ,the Air Force was here years ago and they used to keep it tidy ,i suppose with all the cut backs the armed forces don't have the money these days

Had my mate in clearing out some bits of ditch for me , this one gets silted up every year 20220208_085202.mp4

I eat a lot of fruit and veg together with a lot of meat so yes i now what you mean 🤣 myself and goody was out and about yesterday and called in on a Rotten Ronny's, we both had a barbecue bacon ,crispy chicken wrap with fries .

I dont think it is OTT ,yes i now there is a lot of dairy farms out in the rural community that are doing a wonderful job on feeding the country ,and i now it is a hard job doing all the milking and feeding over very long hrs ,when i said its daft i mean the councils and government departments should not be promoting this type of thing ,it has got a right to be there but people dont need it ramming down there throat's 😁 that this is what you must be eating , McDonalds last week was sending out loads of emails about there plant burgers ,yes they have to let customers now they have them but we have the choice if we order them (i was in a mcdonalds yesterday and had meat and milk in my coffee) And yes i agree with you on the rainforest it was put there for a reason . If everyone switched over to these new type food thats being pushed these days there would be a hell of a lot more methane released from humans than a load of burping/f##ting cows

Its like many other daft things the councils, government, etc come up with

Yes she is very good ,be 16 in few weeks she has a licence ready so i have applied for her to do a tractor test

Pretty sure i have that one here somewhere Paul ,well done to JMD for spotting it.

Looking very good Paul

Also after loading the wheat i put things away jumped in my van and went and got my 4th/booster jab ,was booked in for the previous week but had to cancel that one do to other things .Like my other 3 no side affects so far 👍

Welcome back Tim , yes this pandemic has messed things up but hopefully we are getting though it now ,looking forward to you popping in now and again
