nice updates Julian,as usual,any ideas on what your replacements may be?

Cheers Paul , not sure yet all depends on who comes up with the best prices ! We do have a 718 coming for definate !!!

Wel thankfully the weather's been half sensible the last 4 or 5 days , getting on the ground now without too much disruption, we getting over silage grounds now with some nitrogen , the ploughs are catching up and the stubbles been steadily ripped up , starting get some muck heaps spread on grass grounds where the sheep have just come out from , looking at possibly letting the cows out to graze by day in the next week , weather depending !! Things in the office have been going at a rapid rate as last week saw the black 724 and 6210r sole off , so now number crunching to see about other alternatives in the coming weeks !! 

Good to see you back in the swing of the things Paul 

An overdue update , jobs starting to stack up now with the changeable weather over the last 2 weeks , the ploughs just starting to move again , trouble is trying to find a dry enough ground , can't see the point in turning over already wet and stodgy ground . Managed to get out with a bit of fertaliser end of last week  again having to be careful where we tread , but at least the wheels are rolling .  Last Monday saw Smarts  agri bring up the new 8330 fastrac , nice bit of kit that , she sits nicely alongside the smaller fastrac !! 1st job for her to take the slew around ready for the start of cleaning 2 miles of ditches , which are starting to fill up . Weather forecast looking a bit better for the week so with a bit of luck a chance to keep things moving on

more great updates Julian

Cheers Paul , 1st 1 for a while 

Finally a few good days of weather forecasted for next week , we've had customers ringing up for umbilical and tankers for the last 2 weeks , urgently wanting there lagoons and dirty water ponds bailed out , trouble is with a lot of the ground saturated already it's been a right pain on some farms finding some suitable ground to travel on ! The ploughs getting ready to go , in the workshop awaiting new metal , with 300 acres booked in hopefully for the next couple weeks , especially with frost's forecast later in the week , we can get on with the jobs booked in , also stubble cultivator ready for ripping up some maize stubble , again weather permitting ! Back in the yard the lorry having a good pressure wash as he'll be off hauling straw for most of next week , also hedgetrimming coming to an end soon , just around 350 hours left to do !  lots to do as usual just waiting for a helping hand from mother nature !!

Happy new year to you Dave , good to see the chaps are back to work !!
