They put in "traffic calming" on our road.....my younger brother went a bought a LR 90 V8 as a first car

Thats the way, have been seen to do that in certain streets in Norwich, got told that was a mini roundabout, said i thought it was just a bump in the road  :D

They don't bother me too much, the joys of Land Rover ownership, go straight over them. Annoys the hell out of my girlfriend though when i do  :D

very true tris given they usally dont finish the roads of till last,near as all covers are raised then some by to much,damaged the exhaust on my car at my old deers place when they were bing done,on a cover that was high

Same in my town here, one housing estate that was started 10+ years ago still has raised manhole covers on all the roads, like a slalom course if anyone has to go down there

Think there may be a few sub-surface flag stones now too!!! None repairable Marky I am afraid. Got a gert kink in it just where the bar spits in two on the drivers side. May just salvage the LED's, bin the bar and get some grill infill lights. New to me but saw tham at Truckfest and they look pukka!! Shame though, the LoBar is my favourite of the lot.

Isn't that always the way though, the best bits are the ones that get damaged if any, sods law

I stuffed my LoBar on a raised manhole cover today bigtime.

Had to christen your lorry sooner or later didn't you  \

that wheel makes the world of differance  

Never did like the old wheels on them and i had a spare one from a Siku Fella rake which suited it perfectly 

Too right, if i'd wanted to do a job with a need for athletics i'd have picked one :D

I done that to a lemken a while back, also changed the wheel for a more realistic one as well

At least you wouldn't get hardship like this on a Sunday morning 

Mine is more likely to soon be  road compressor won't start to blow down the combine, or trailers got a flat, or numerous electronic faults on the combine computer  :D

This actually happened yesterday.

Moving cattle from a small field to another. One ba**ard tried everything not to come out of the field including turning everywhere on my father and trying to get under the twine he was using. Then when they were out going down to the yard into the crush he decided to turn again. I stopped him but then he decided to jump a twine run around the yard jump another twine - Jump over a gate and bend it in bits and then he and the rest of them ran faster than me down the lane. Had to run across a 4 acre grass field jump a ditch and then run through a 20 acre field of spring barley and then to realise that they were in the neighbour's field after he left his gate open and were up on the ditch at the bottom. Luckily Dad got them back up and we put them into the field.  >

Thank God for mobile phones is all I have to say.

And people always ask me why i stick to working on arable farms  :D

When i found out how heavy it was i told the chap in charge of the irrigators that we should stop watering now It shouldn't be too bad its on tracks at the back ( do you think if i keep saying it will be ok i will start to belive it?)

Tried that in the past myself, if i say it won't get stuck enough it won't happen, got about a 10% success rate so far  :D

Lets hope the boss doesn't see your idea for a sleepcab as he will love that idea cause i'm sure as it is he works on a 28hour day ;D

I agree with you about leaving stubble i used to hate doing that too, i was tauch to treat combining as the 1st cultivation cause is you don't do a good tidy job cultivation is not so easy we always try to think of the next operation

Thats too right, Claas headers are terrible for taking in tall crops, the worst year i had was 2 years ago when there was a lot of charlock in the rape, the stubble was 2 feet long in places and all had to be disced a couple of times to chop it up for the plough. The boss annoys me if he takes over at anytime because if he stops for any reason he sits atill and you get a massive pile of chopped straw, doesn't take a genious to work out if you back it up it ploughs in easier, especially when i plough just over half our 3600 acres

He is more than welcome to make me a model of the potato harvester. Will also be an entertaining potato harvest this year with the ploeger 4m wide can't remember how long but it weighs 25 tonne empty and the tank holds 12 tonne

Better hope for a dry potato season then or you could need a good winch on the field headland with all that weight there  :D

Sounds like you need to be asking if there is a sleeper cab option on the STS combine then   :D

The extensions are the dogs bo*****s ;Dyou can rake the crop in with out worrying about shedding as it falls on the header i used 1 last year at my last jod on the cts

Yeah i've had a vario header on a demo 4/580 in the past, i hate having to leave 18 inch stubble just to get it to feed in the combine on tall crops of rape and shattering pods on it and the beans 

Nice pics James, you know F-P is going to start drooling when he sees these  :D

Looks a good set up to me, my boss won't even try a John Deere combune on demo for some reason. Bet that rape extension is handy as its a bugger to get into standard headers like the one on my Lexion

What have I seen today that really annoyed me 

Gavins post above 

Actually it was your socks you left here... they fell out of the hole in the floor of your landrover when you drove off the other night  :D

Don't dis the Defender, thats below the belt Marky    The body work is the only thing that i have had no trouble with on it  :D

Story... story Mart... it's as true as I sit here 

Have you been sniffing your vegetable waste and getting high again Marky?  :D
