Cheers Pete,

The boss got a phonecall to say the first cut is ready in the next few days so he summons the drivers in to get the tractors and trailers ready.......

The lads arrive,eager for another season at the grass.

One of the drivers informs the farm manager that diesel needs to be ordered....

I got those 2 fields finished off late last night I added some trees and some post and rail fencing (which was very monotonous to do )

I'm still in two minds about the road and whether to change the colour as it looks a bit bright at times

Anyway here's the pictures.........

Me and dad where fertilising yesterday and put about 800kg of nitrogen on about 3 acres by accident. will have a forest soon.

Plenty of trailers will sort that out

likeing the inclines on the lane,more interesting than having big flat areas.

Cheers Fenside,I'm undecided about the road colour yet,I might change it if it doesn't grow on me

grass is lush chris

Cheers Paul,I'm very happy with it

I guess the rain has helped too

Nice VW van aswell, did you buy it from German ebay??

Mercedes Vito Yes from German eBay along with a VW Golf

You've used some good fertiliser on that field

Absolutely Barry This is what it was like a few weeks ago

Class what did you use for those last pictures as grass ? were you at the ploughing in Carrigallen a few months ago?

I didn't make it this year,was there any Tractor Pulling this year?

You must be chuffed to bits with the long grass, Chris - amazingly effective (it's not real is it?).

Absolutely delighted with it.I got it off a man that does artificial lawns,it's as close to real grass as I've ever seen.

After finally getting a bit of growth in the last week or so,the farmer goes to the fields to see if it's far off cutting...

Nice update and good additions... You've done well gettin a Sulky spreader.. Love the little david b in the background

Thanks Pete,they can still be got if you're looking for one (expensive but worth it)

great updates chris, you have got some fantastic machinery. great photos.

Thanks Chris,like yourself I only started lately but I'm almost happy where I'm at (in other words we're never happy ha ha!)

Coming along nicely,I love the little bits you've added around the yard,like small patches of grass and hedge growth,this is something that is seriously lacking around my yard and I'm going to have to get back to it at some stage once I'm finished in the fields

Thanks Tris,purchasing of models is almost complete (if I got a pound for every time I said that )

I'm in the process of adding 2 new fields and a hilly lane and I hope to have them complete before the silage starts,I'm about half way at the moment.

I was sure you'd have seen Mandys What about these ones?

Getting some last minute slurry out....

i like how you have made the hedges you have given me some ideas ;)

No problem,that's what the forum is about,passing on ideas

Those Fendts look good on your layout,nice shots

Thanks Jamie,still a bit too much light coming in the windows,I must get curtains up

NICE ADDITIONS CHRIS,REALLY LIKE THE FENDT 828

Thanks Paul,that's my second one,I think they're the best of all the Fendts.

that nice bit of kit you got there chris

Thanks Shane,The detail in the new kit is second to none,now to get busting sods

nice fleet there love the layout ;)

Thanks,it's getting to where I want it to be now although just when you think you're done you always start adding on other bits ha ha!.

CP Agri has accquired another 500 acres of tillage so the sowing team had to be increased A new Seeder and Front Packer along with a new plough and a Sulky Spreader have been added to the fleet to increase sowing speeds

I used to laugh at my mother in law going to these car boot sales but reading about some of the bargains on here that can be got,I might have to start going myself
