The landlords reaction at my local when he came back from darts last night to find the parasol off the picnic table sticking out of his upstairs bedroom window and came marching through the pub with it................he hadn't found the baubles, scratch cards, can of fly spray or air freshner at that point ;D ;D

Having a day off and been for a little trip out to the fens

I'd be woried if anything was sticking out that far in a shed full of cows Tris..........besides it was still tucked down into my sock keeping warm at the time ;D

1) Waking up this morning to find my toothache from yesterday had more or less gone only to be replaced by a massive abcess in my mouth which was equally as sore until it burst. Now on pills after a visit to the dentist after much pleading with them, originally they couldn't see me before Monday 2) Our insane Lim X called Boeing's final parting shot towards me which was a near miss luckily. She walked past me out of the door and kicked out, her hoof missed my crotch by a couple of inches Thats one cow we aren't sorry to have sent on a one way trip at just over two years old, she's too dangerous, she tried to jump over the crush this morning when we were weighing her before she left.

Yes ;D

Got my chainsaw back from the dealers tonight, was expecting an expensive bill for carburettor related parts as it was a fuelling fault, instead was a £20 bill for a carb clean and small bit of fuel hose

Not had it out of the box yet but it looks close enough for me to be happy, I'm not as fussy or overly critical as some members on here are

Universal Hobbies Case Puma CVX, Case Maxxum MX150 and Vicon RV4220 round baler

They were known for the same problem 15+ years ago when my late Father was selling Sanderson forklifts so its not a new problem with the CAT machines

All I'll say about the Dieci is be afraid, be very afraid \ We have a local dealer here and lets just say the reliability record of the machines is not the best. The independant engineer we use has pulled two axles apart now on different machines as well, one of them is a frequent visitor to his worshop

I work on a 850 acre mixed farm, 2012 cropping (around these figures every year) is made up of : 208 acres of Winter Wheat 64 acres of Winter Barley 89 acres of Spring Barley 87 acres of Oilseed Rape 34 acres of Maize 116 acres of Sugarbeet 116 acres of Potatoes 5.5 acres of grass 17 acres in ELS 7 acres in HLS The remainder is made up of rough grazing, game covers and woodland. There is a further 100 acres that we contract farm locally, the bulk of which is grass/clover leys with approx 20 acres of Spring Barley annually. In the past two years we have also had carrots on the farm but we have said no for next year as it overstretched our irrigation capacity this year. 50 acres of the potato land is rented off our neighbour every year. We have just under 100 cows on the farm, mostly Limousin crosses but these are being replaced with farm raised Stabiliser crosses on an annual basis, the Limousin in our current lot is making them too hard to handle, calves are sold for fattening at 12 months old as we have no capacity to do this ourselves

Went into work at 9am to help with the potato grading as we're emptying the store at present and sending them off to McCains, boss greets me when I get there with the universal all stopped hand gesture......he'd just got a TEXT from McCains saying all loads were cancelled today, it was sent at 7pm last night. He rang them up and it turns out that A B Texel (the haulier) knew at midday yesterday but didn't pass the information on so there were 4 of us went into work today who needn't have been there >

Give them time Joe........... The only colour variant I'd be happy with for it would be the optional petrol blue with white rims that was available on the real one

In other words its a wonder she started and drove at all by the sounds of it with all of that in that condition At least she didn't give out on one of your excursions work related errands

No, usually have one big replacement session like this per season but parts like points get changed much more regularly than landsides on our soils.

A few very good reasons, I've never got on very well with them in the past, our neighbour has had problems with them and finally my boss nearly had a heart attack at the price of them

After ploughing our last 2.5ha for wheat this morning I have spent the rest of the day renewing metal on the plough and giving it a greae up before starting on ploughing next years beet land in the morning. Fitted to the plough were: 10 Landsides 10 Landside Wedges 10 One Way Points 10 Shares 10 Shins 40 M10 Nuts & Bolts 64 M12 Nuts and Bolts Should be ok for a few more acres now

or as an emergency measure when the bog roll runs out.......... ;D

I have the year on year bills for it here up until 30/4/2010 and by the looks of it it wasn't trouble free back then either with a few parts failures on there, the 09/10 costs were almost 8 times that of the 05/06 ones though

At least its only one fault on the tractor in 500 hours, the 6920s could barely manage 100 hours without going wrong in one way or another...........

Ideally I would be ploughing at an angle to the beet harvester all the time but in the first field the side hedges are parallel to each other so the only way to do it is at 90 degrees to the beet, this was the original plan but with heavy rain being forecast we daren't wait for the harvester to finish the field. The last time that field was beet 3 years ago the harvester actually got stuck in it at this time of year so that field can be very wet. Its nigh on impossible to plough the ground over level how I was doing it there as the plogh wheel drops in all the harvester wheelings so not really recommended practice but needs must

Heres a few of the beet harvester and cart, its a 60 reg Verveat Beet Eater 625 and a Claas Axion 820 with Bailey Beeteaper

Its the first one thats caused any hold ups. It had an O-ring blow during harvest due to two of them being fitted to a bung instead of one during manufacture, it did have to be towed back to the yard last Friday due to it failing to select forward or reverse when I pulled out onto the road a short distance from the yard, that has been an intermittant fault for about 10 weeks now, usually just loses reverse though. The dealers engineer has a rough idea whats causing it but they are waiting for a response from Case on the subject and for us to finish ploughing with the tractor before taking it in to change the faulty switch.
