Happy Birthday james f - almost scared to post this in case it's a wind-up.  ;D

I've been selling a bit silage to local farms recently - here's a couple of pics of loading the trailer. The lab just loves the forklift. 

With fertiliser at ?300+ per tonne I bet he was popular.  ;D

Will it not be a bit of a fiddle separating card and plastic after it's been baled? I would get the farmer to sort it.

Especially chemical containers - even triple rinsed will still have a tiny bit active and some water in them.

All the foils should be off them too as they are still classed as hazardous....

Being boring I know. It does do a great job though! 

Different stuff, Pud. What's up with the last one, hub seal?

It wasn't called Prime Port the last time I was there 

One of the better ones today, Stan. 

Smashing day today, touched 11^oC - i actually got some spraying done. 

Great little hideaway there 

Those Craft Robos are a great piece of kit. 

One of the Export model and a close up of the controls 

Now those bags are really something else! 

I just managed to get some pics from Nigel of his new Super Dexta which is nearing completion. Looks like another cracker. 

Couldn't find them Colm 

Best I've got..

Serviced and calibrated the sprayer, just need some nice weather now.......

Here Here Toolbox Tam!! I live in an area famed for Salisbury Plain, the Pewsey Vale, the Marlborough Downs, the Kennet and Avon Canal, Stonehenge, Avebury Stone Circle, the White Horse(s) and yet all the highways and byways are litter strewn. I used to think it was just Wiltshire but it's Britain as a whole. What do ASBO and other lightwieght offenders do? Like benefit jockeys they should be in teams to help battle the litter/fly tip war. Heavy fines are threatened any wrong doers but who on earth is capable of policing it? The only person down a dark unlit country land is a fly tipper!!

Deere-est for PM!

Totally agree - I get piles of cr@p dumped in gateways and on verges too, when you catch one, what happens? - NOWT.  I could easily turn into a grumpy old man over this. 

I think the 4/6 cylinder things is psychological - the 4 cyl Sisu is ( in my experience) probably a better engine than the Perkins 6 cyl. but convincing people is another matter. The difference in wheelbase is negligible, probably only a few cms.

I bet if you have a diesel car it produces over 100 hp on 4 cyls - why not expect a 6 

I thought I heard on the grapevine that Agco had a falling out with Same and went back to Landini.......

Saw Graeme's pickup with a perfect Corsa shaped dent in it. 

Nice job Jason - you're pretty handy with a trowel as well 

It says in the text, Lely - which it resembles so somebody has probably been out with the decals. 

With the 5f KV variwidth he can clean out a tank of diesel in 7hrs.  :o

How old is the 926, she looks well........

It's on a G plate, so around 98 I think...

What is the drill John - looks quite old

It's an Accord with the coulters modified to give three rows for trash clearance. I think it's only a bout 10 years old but spends most of it's life outside. and it's a Khun 4002 p. harrow. 

A real mix of machines there, and one helluva set of tyres on the 699 - is it called Zebedee? 

Three lambs....that it? I've just given up my saturday night to calve 2 cows, stomach tube 3 calves and bottle 8 lambs and just got in........now I'm cold trust me! Why cant't they just wait until a dry spell?

I reckon rain and snow starts them off lambing. 

I've just started 18 m² of tiling, having a coffee break now 

I see why you changed your name, Ol. 

That looks like lovely stuff.........

Still blowing a gale here and heavy hail/snow showers which melt immediately. Recorded 75 mph this morning and a wind chill of -16^oC
