Asside from the usual feeding bedding and mucking out, a bit of log splitting this afternoon:

A splitting log is a very satisfying sound isn't it Tris?

Nice photo there Phil. Ground conditions look good

Picking up logs at Gardiners I saw-

JCB 530.70

Ford  4610 4WD on a Posch Saw (much bigger than the one at the farm)

Daewoo excavator

Buying a tonne of logs-

I won't post the video link of the JCB loading, as I took it with the phone upside-down stupidly 

This:

Little miffed about the state of the header but I already have a mint tractor-mounted version to swap with it.

My central heating packing up last night and then to top it off my boss (also landlord) forgetting to ring the heating engineer until I reminded him at 1.30pm, now can't come until tomorrow >

Electric blankets and hot water bottles tonight then Gav!

well thats me passed the Sprayer cert  tests...32 out of 33 in Pa1      and he said only a odd very minor thing to do with the workings and the pump of the sprayer......told me I was an excellent candidate too 

Congratulations John! I don't remember being asked specific questions about sparayer workings when I did the test though \

That'll teach you to bend over in front of him then ;D ;D

i'd have a bloody red mark as evidence  (i dont)

I'm innocent your honour, not like those weird hill types! 

I didn't need to wrestle the ram really, he was very good

Chasing sheep up and down hills and then wrestling with them And the afternoon cutting wood.

Another Britains orange and black forage harvester this time boxed, plus today a Claas/Kemper SPF boxed.

Love the Ursus tractors

Good variety today: Feeding/bedding, antibiotic injection for a cow, chopping up logs with circular saw bench, delivering logs, & greasing tractor and digger (breaking grease gun ).

Carefully!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I don't remember doing this but I do have a removed loader in front of me, so must have removed it myself as it is broken on end where bucket should be mounted. The part inside the cab needs to be eased off of the locating pins at the bottom of the loader rams, outside, and then the two pieces can be withdrawn from the cab/windows.Probably not as easy as it sounds because I think the window frame gets in the way a little. Easy to break the window frame too   

I hope this is some, little, help 

Thanks Paul. In fact minutes after posting this I managed to seperate the two in the way you describe but couldn't delete my redundant post I've also realised I don't have a red partially-glazed 135 cab to fit the loader to but two fully glazed "weatherproof" ones (that you can't fit a loader to) so I might have to swap one of them with someone on the forum \

Does somebody with some Britains knowledge know if it's possible to seperate a 135 Industrial cab from the red loader (without braking either the loader or the cab)?

It looks like you need to slightly dismantle the loader to get it free of the oblong window holes \

I'm in The George Inn at Cambridge, Chris. Do you know CS Ellis Transport? Opposite their yard.

Oh right near Slimbridge,.

Do you remember what the pub was called Tris? I was on the A38 briefly, coming back from a "Personal Effectiveness"  course at Hartpury college \

congratulations!

Thanks!

Trying to uninstall old antivirus software because it clashes with some new protection i've just bought but I can't find the product key for it! \

trying out google maps and type: From : JapanTo : America

I would like to see these when they are made, Chris 

Sure, I got about halfway through the 42 pack on Sunday. Apart from being fiddley and time consuming to make they're also rather small for 1:32 setups, about 4.5cm high, so perhaps could be used for a younger crop. Fragile too.

The other type (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250619602536&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT)  looks more rigid and is closer to the right size at 9cm, but the most you can buy are 16 a pack at about £12-£15 each

Five Britain's purchased on Thursday and Friday last week should be arriving this week.

9559 - Yard scraper

9546 - Plough set9543- Gray's red push off buckrake

9636 - Set - Fendt 615 and vaderstad roller

9607 - Set - Renault 145/14 & Vicon spreader.

:P :P :P :P

_{<I wish there were seperate smilies that catered for disgust and drooling as this gets used for both (?)}>

Well I'm not sure about really pleasing me but I passed my Pa-1 course at Hartpury scoring 30/33 on their multiple choice test. It was so p1ss-easy I'm just embarrassed not to have received full marks .

Watching the straw bale delivery bloke fluff up unloading his trailer. It was geting dark and he wanted to speed things along so he took a stack of three big rectangular bales off with the loader, too quickly, sending them crashing down to the ground. Luckily they ended up wedged between the farm gate and his trailer (in pieces mind).
