Nearside-rear sidewall puncture on my pick up, pondering whether I should buy 1 or 2 new ones as I've only had the set for 2 years.

muddy MF 76__ just pulling out of a field in front of me with a culti drill.

Still not been paid for several days of straw work I did in August. Invoice no.3 will be in the post...

Cross-cutting another log pile, probably my last at this house.

Fastrac pulling a Kane grain trailer, first time I've seen one around here (or anywhere).

it is very difficult Chris,im lucky that painting and decorating in the week and any weekend that i can get i go on the farm

Are they quite flexible then Paul? What if the weather is good during the week and crap at weekends?

Not able to balance the maintenance gardening/landscaping and farm work. As a result I'm struggling to hold down any farm job I get around here. I think at some point it's got to be either-or

spent Saturday pressing the 26 acres I had ploughed on Friday with a 3-5meter Edlington Press and MTX155 MCcormick

That's nice and straight Smithy

Will you miss hedge cutting Gav?

bit late with these photos as it was previous weekend I put my son Wayne on the baler the wife Julie was on the tractor and trailer carting and I was on the flat eight loading we started at 12pm and by 9pm we had baled and carted 900 bales

you didn't have any trouble with the NH baler did you?

Was going to cut up more logs from an enormous pile, but don't really fancy it now it's pouring with rain.

Massey 2640 with kuhn mower; Ford 10 series (prob 5610) and mower; NH6635 and rake/tedder.

Got  bad back trouble  yet again  today    the price  ive paid for 20 years in farming  -- so im in a real bad moon &  Mrs 590 not too happy with me mooning about it or talking tractors ha ha!    

And I'm worried about my back now at only 33, not good to hear Jon.

On the way back from Highworth in Wiltshire I found this Massey forage team near Purton Stoke. They were a long way across the field as I arrived and just picking up the last lumps of grass:

Good work there Paul, thanks for the pictures.

I built this low-loader to take my combination drill around a few years ago and over the years its had a few mini-diggers;dumpers;and vintage tractors on it but the last dumper being a big one went through the wooden floor as the supports were to far apart and the floor a bit rotten so over the bank-holiday weekend I added some more supports (all the red bits)just got to replace floor now

Timber again for the floor?

apparently the claas broke down every harvest,and the mf is really a hesston and they make a very good baler,the mchale i spied is a wrapper,i must admit jd i get to work surrounded by great scenery,its a pleasure to work,day off today though,the boss said i have done a lot of weekends and evenings and told me to take a day off with the wife,and what have i done,painted the garage walls and cut the grass,later on out for a walk with the dog and then into my local for a few sherberts,back on it next weekend weather permiting

Looks more play than work Paul, love these photos

Perhaps if the forum were available to view without being logged in that would generate more interest?

True perhaps but it may also invite more spam bots and scammers.

A few more, same chap helped us this year as in previous years only he has now changed his 6920s for a 2008 6530.

A considerable drop in power but you don't need 160hp for bed forming anyway(?)

i probably have metioned it before Chris,ive rolled it for the last 6 years,its a job the full time guys dont like,but i enjoy it,i will do any job just to drive

Ha! same here.

hard to explain Chris,but  very near merton,devon,the river is the river yeo,i leave the yard and go down a very steep track through woods and in to the field called golden pool

Yeah, you might have mentioned it a year or two back, that's not far from Torrington. I thought it was a stretch of the Harbourne river just South of Totnes though at first.

little bit of the scenery from yesterday,weather very overcast today,these pictures were took in a 30 acre field which has  a river running down one side,3rd picture shows a deer ,but i just couldnt get close enough

Where is that paul?

first weekend on the farm this year

Doing what, rolling?
