Another good find there John well done

Allow i hate the snow it does make a good picture with a fine tractor

Sad day for you but at least they are going to be reborn ,thats a nice low-loader trailer ,does it ride well ,does it have a sprung drawbar

I have been hand-digging again today ,to uncover a electric cable thats been in the ground a few years know ,it has been running up the outside of the barn but because i already have a hole basically right next to it i have exposed it and taken the duct of it as tomorrow when my electrician turns up we are going to disconnect it slide it in a new bit of duct to join up with old bit and poke it into hole and up and under barn floor and reconnect up , we have UK POWER coming on friday to put under ground my over-head 3 phase cables though same hole in barn floor .

Picked up my mates log-splitter ,my granddaughter Jasmine likes this job ,the wife was also helping while i stood back and supervised VID_20210123_150004.mp4

Mr Goodwin called in the other day to deliver some parts i had ordered from Doe Power Framlingham ,we had been speaking about tractors that i have owned over the years and i told him one of my favourites was the Ford 7700 ,so goody has given me a brochure as a gift ,Thank you very much it was a nice surprise

Bought this of a mate of mine a couple of weeks ago , scaledown Mastiff

I saw these photos on another site a little while ago ,hope you get on alright with it well done

Ares has all gone slushy now ,really messed me up on my job of getting the ducting in for electric cables .You take some really good photos ,myself and my granddaughter jasmine have just been looking though them

Like the rest of the comments Paul you do keep her tidy ,cant believe how clean the wheel rims are the white really stand out . my neighbours bought a Marshall bale trailer last year ,they reckon its a lovely trailer rides well loaded or unloaded

That bottle of snow that 844 John got should have had a adult proof lid on it just look at what he has done down here

Forgot to say Weaving do a GD drill which is along the same lines and a 4meter would be around £35,000 and would need around 200hp ,the weaving that my mate owns you could pull with 100hp in good conditions but 150hp in sticky conditions ,weaving also do a Sabre Tine drill which is a cheaper version than the GD and is around £29,000 for a 4 meter i think

That drill has been around for a few years now ,its more of a direct drill eg you can go straight into stubbles with no cultivation done before hand or into cover crops without it blocking . the weaving drill is a good bit lighter and a 4meter would be around £20,000 and a 4meter Mzuri is i think £70,000ish and you need a lot more horses to pull it ,yes it is a good drill ,i went to a demo on one must have been about 4 years ago ,the farmer that makes them told me what the name Mzuri means but i have forgotten ,its something like his favourite holiday place or along them lines .As for your alloy booms and a herb grower is it Duncan West up the A140 ?

That bottle did not look like it held all of that lot

Had to dry/warm my feet up a few times today

UK Power are also going to bury the overhead 3ph cables that go to my barn but i have to do all the hard/mucky work. First of all i have to make a hole inside barn ,then outside and tunnel though avoiding the water-pipe, allow i have been able to use the digger on a good bit of it there was a good bit of hand digging around the other water-pipes , yesterday was ok as it was dry and slightly warm today was cold and drizzly and the clay just stuck to everything ,tomorrow speak of being very wet but am hoping to get sand on top of the duct i got in late tonight and then backfill the middle bit as i have to leave both ends open fo UK-Power

I have to put a electric cable under ground around my late mothers garage so i can get a separate electric meter on as we share the one in my barn ,last time i got the breaker out (February 12th 2020) i damaged my wrist and its still not right now so i got the brother-in-law to help this time , had to be min of 600mm deep with the duct then 100mm of sand on top of duct then the warning tape ,then back fill with what we dug out ready to re-concrete ,this bit is basically ready for uk-power

Could you get it posted to a mate in Holland and then get them to send it on to you maybe or would they be in the same position

Not what i am doing but what i am not doing ,i am missing out on having breakfast with JMD up at LAMMA ,

Most of them have brochures in or manuals for machinery we have or have had on the farm ,allow there is still room for a few more . I did sell a few to Goody a few years back
