The 1150 was a big machine to be seen in Europe. It looks massive next to that 1805!

I wish my pick up had the power to push a plough like that!

Excellent! Now cover it in Major green

Yes they were Paul, although the only ones I've seen real size have been blue.

Absolutely nothing, I'm having a lie-in today

Well the snow finally showed up so i am suppose to learn how to run a friends plow truck so I can plow for him since he leaves on vacation tomorrow. Sure enough they are calling for 3-5 more inches of snow tomorrow so I guess I better learn fast.

Photos if possible Luke!

Nice additional touches to CP Agri. I especially like the view toward the farm along the new power lines.

Good idea to have a little corner for decontamination as well. You may need a small trough or a tray for feet dipping though, as some numpty will put his foot in the churn!

Attempting to seal the underside of my 3 tap boxes with expanding foam and another expensive sealant, as mains water man is worried about rats burrowing underneath and making a nest ( ). Anyway, the sealant has the look and consistancy of Nutella and is about as equally as effective. Thanks to the severely cramped conditions in the hole I'm getting covered in the stuff, and using the foam applicator is no less messy. To top it all it's about minus 7 outside and beginning to snow!

if you mean the suppport ribs,they only took about 30 mins for all four to be mitred at the 22.5 degree angle,will be quicker next time as I can use the measurements from these.

So the majority of the skip and chassis are not plastruct then?

How long did it take to cut and sculpt those plastruct sections before you assembled the trailer?

Our builder/my sometime boss prefers driving the smaller machines, but it's more to do with his love of the intricate nature of the work (smaller project landscaping as oppose to larger excavations) than the comfort of the operation I think.

Case Puma 155 and modern Mcconnell hedge trimmer, plus a mint XL ?885 with a ?Bomford trimmer.

Big improvement with the Fords. I'd have preferred it though if the wheels used the same material as their Britains counterparts 30/40 years ago, the plastic looks cheap (probably last longer though!)

Andy is it possible to see what bids have already been placed on each lot?

I think there's still a ban on txt-spk though, is that right moderators?

Made a pretty reasonable £60 from 380kg of metal scraps.

Found this in TK Max for £10.00, bargain.

1:32 Welly Unimog U400 set, i'll keep the Unimog, think the trailer and "Lifeheer!" can go to the 4 year old nephew!!

I thought TK Max only sold bargain basement clothing? (At least the Cheltenham store does if I remember correctly)

Echo the other comments made. I love the smaller farm dio with 3 or 4 working machines and just enough space to turn them.

Ghost, are the photographed backgrounds from your real farm?

and they say americas in economic melt down, just goes to prove that the old plops has more money than obama :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: whats that now rick, 5 homes and 3/4 of arizona land wise

My Goldcrest has returned and is dancing on the office windowsill. Oh boy he is handsome and his gold crest is soooooooo bright. Bless him

We've had a few goldcrests in the garden before Sue, but not at this time of the year My mum's even spotted a pair of Firecrests displaying, which I'm told is very rare.

Too funny!

What year is that brochure Mark?

Finally installed 3 tap boxes, ready for Severn Trent to check before they're switched on and cemented in. Then off to Hereford to deliver some ingredients to a meat factory.

Stumbling into one of the trenches I've been digging for a tap box, and a aching leg to remember my mistake

Same made some proper 'boxy' tractors, and instantly recognisable. I'd love to own one.
