Well it's been a long harvest but we finished all the straw on monday Then silage and 200 acres of linseed for me this week said to the farmer that i had never seen linseed burn so he lights up just as it is gettting dark

Leaving the trap door open

I don't get up that far but the quads might you still keeping busy then ?

Yes they do plus they have hired in a micky mack with no number plate

I thought it was a father and son team

You must mean the stieger the jd no Chance

Cotroll think thats how you spell it they run land around wantage

Following the combine

This is how they should look

Now i know how this happens any ideas

Thought I'd better play catch up been nearly a month now ::)My hols was just what the doctor ordered nice bit of r/r .Started back on the Monday expecting it all done How wrong was i my tractor had only done 8 hrs since i left it didn't do much that week apart from a bit of trimming then the weather perked up a bit but still didn't get out the yard till about 3pm but that was only following combines and the days are sure getting short Then the sun came out for a few days so everyone was turning there straw that had been down for a few weeks so then went manic for a few days last week doing a bit of silage at night when it was too wet for straw .Been mowing a few acres down for hay yes i did say hay or it might end up in little bags Rain on Monday put off bailing on Tues but the big ones all found someware to go today.I have been trimming .Hopefully i might get back to the oats the bales in one of the pics they have been cut 8 weeks now A few pics snapped this little beauty while on hols

Big n/h on a 08 plate not sure of the headeer size but it was oat straw i was balin been cut for three weeks turned a few times tho

You carn't miss the tractors with the big lettering on them Sure i did some r baling there last year

When i started my tractor sat morning it had 3500 on the clock 3526 when i got off sun dinnertime

Going to wales on a five day break .So there is a downside no puter.But hopefully there will be plenty of photo chances (been warned already about wandering off looking at anything farm related) Went on me hols this time last year .And we had nearly finished but i know when i get back it will still be manic Well I'm sure i can find plenty to do with my time (insert dirty grin smiley here)

Near a little vilage called charney bassett just off the a420 or if you mean the one with the jd (kiwinz dad) that was near lechlade

Sat the poo hit the fan big time (the sun came out) everyone wanted us on there farm at the same time fear of rain sat night time. I started at 8am got r baler ready to go out at 9.30 then sorted out the other r baler ready for a weekend driver so off we go at 10.30 ::)By the time i had set the other baler man up we got going at 11.30 by 3pm we had to move on in different directions 275 bails i did but pic will show why i went off and did 10 acres of hay 60 bails then 20 more acres of hay 202 this time then back to the yard at 11pm put the 998 on loaded up with 35 rolls of wrap called in at home at 12.00 had my dinner and a fresh flask back out at half past night out loaming dropped off 30 rolls of wrapp at one job then went 1 mile up the road too wrap 167 bales then at 4am back down the road where 2 2200 had been and one 2100 487 bales later plus needed 8 more rolls to finish back in the yard at 1.30 pm today but i am on hoilday for a week now yippee
