Out on the bikes this evening and came across this in a field. I naturally presumed it was a 2650 at first then reliased it was tiny ... never seen anything like this .. is it common?

Don't know what it was doing there couldn't see a driver unless they left it in the field for the night 

I really like it, think she looks a cracker 

Today i went on the bikes with olliethefarmer on here to go on a bike ride, which regularly turns into a tractor spotting event for me  Saw 4 drivers i knew and he waved to them all, so i now have 0% respect anymore  :D Then got some chips found a dumped JD by the looks of things and challenged a few chavs to duals ... god i hate them! Should all be burnt 

This picture any good? Not sure if its exactly the same kind of thing....

All looks great to me mate great potential there, love the diesel tanks   :)

You MUST come and see me in the holidays Nick... We'll get you driving allsorts mate...

For me... I guess it must be my Fanny really (MF410)... nothing like the feeling of driving your own tracca 

Be there like a squirrel mate  Sorting out with my cousins at the moment for a week i can stay with them and then arrange a day or two to meet up if thats alright  :)

Excellent pictures again Will, looks like another great day for you  That Case looks awesome really like the look of her 

Another two steak lunch?  :D

Interesting 4th choice in the poll  :D

Gav!!!

Or .. Ben!!!  :D

I'll get you one day.

As for Scleich pigs they are big but hay i like them and at the end of the day Sean it's really up to you. I just found them most reliastic and found the Britains pigs tiny 

Never driven but been in it would have to be a John Deere 6900 for me 

My sow had been someone's pet pig - it hadn't been treated like a pig... more like a dog really. They used to let in the house, feed it sweets etc... until it got big and started trashing everything So we bought her when she got too much for them, but she never really took to living like a farm animal :'(

Thats a shame Mandy, think it was the victorian ages maybe a bit later when they used to have pigs as pets and had real trouble because there so loveable as piglets but then grow into these monsters.... and as you said just trash anything in site, a clumsy animal the pig yet extremely intelligent. Bet she was hard to let go? I could never be on the farm the day they were taken away for slaughter  :(

You would think so - but the sow I had used to push right through - it never occurred to her to run backwards when she touched it - she would just panic and plough on, taking the whole lot with her... she became bacon soon after, though

There alot more powerful than they make out to be, at Jimmys farm if you ever watched that they had the same problem the pigs just run straight through and everything was crazy.

On the farm she doesn't have alot of trouble for some reason, just normal. She does treat the pigs well though and they just stay in the area, they always are being moved though because they plough the fields to pieces 

No worries mate, easy mistake to make.

Just seen all of the pictures and Blake it is now definetly up there as one of the best, really really like it major respect for you it's awesome. I like the way you haven't over crowded the yard and have implements scattered in places. And those new sheds.... i take my hat off to you   Nice one more pics regularly please   :)

Right What did I do wrong  >

Have you pasted the wrong code? We can still see the pictures Blake so it's not life and death just a bit of a pain   Did you do IMG code?

yeah they can, well this guy does anyway, all 7 strands are live , sure i heard it mentioned one time that  he had some stupid amount of volateg going round them, hes been warned loads of times about it, but we cant stop him by law so its an easy visit/day when we do get called about it

Sounds pretty dodgy, pretty powerful. The porkers must get a pretty good shock if they brush against that  :o

Was going to ask also Sean you see the Schleich pigs now, with your pig unit did you get Schleich? I know you were thinking about it?

next time i am out that way i will get some pics for ya mate, we have one thats always causing probs with the phone lines ,as he has arround 20 km of fences, about 7 strands high, all running, keeps the foxes out and porkers in, but never keeps it clear .so it earths out and makes a mess of this posh blokes broadband every now and then

Cheers Sean, that would be a great help mate. And wow i didn't know they could do that? Hmm .. i know that where i based this on that she has had to have an operation on her knee because of years of touching the electric fence and stamping her foot after the shock  Well.. not the main reason for the op but certainly damaged it alot  \

one blooke down in my road in bexhill is a miserable git doesnt like anyone on his land even if you stay on the foootpaths,threatented to shoot a womens dog. anyway not sure what there doing, keep going with the good pics mate

I don't like people like that, deliberatly miserable. I steer clear of people like that but fortunately most of the drivers are around my Dads age so it's quite easy i find to interact with them if you get what i mean.

Thanks for the kind encouragement, really appreciate it  :)

sounds good mate, lots of those arround down this way now, all kept in with leccy fences

Well it's your area Sean that i got the idea from  :D But basically it's quite convenient because if there was an old farm where the new farm stands it is really convenient and isn't a huge setup so alright for a farmer on not that a high budget  :) Like my diorama 

doesnt look to bad mate, might need a bigger pen aprt at the front unless your going free range porkers that is

Yeah these will be free range Sean, the idea being that i have fencing leading from the back door to a fenced in enclosure. Where i used to work she had a similiar set up. Fenced off outdoor pens with an old building to give the pigs shelter at night  :)

Had this in my hand whilst reading the post Marky, maybe a good base for the irrigation pump? May give it a go if i can find an identical or smaller trailer this one is being used  

Forgot to mention that if you vote with a bit of work, how can i improve it to make it look more realiastic?

Tell you what you've got guts with the doners for that  :D ......

But what a pay off, looks awesome i quite like that. Really good job  ;)

With piggys in and i tell you what SMurF i didn't even do the pit stop right, i made a huge mess of it  :D Out of my scaletrix days however ... 

Well undecided about this, an old Scalextrix pit stop. The stickers and 8 sign are all removeable but do you think it would work as a good pig pen on my layout? Was extremely undecided.

The idea is to put a pen on the back so it works as a kind of shelter? I don't mind if you hate the idea 

Thanks Belarusfan, thats my method so far. All on footpaths but lately the irrigation guys have been giving me dirty looks so i just give them a cheesy grin. I've not been told to stop or to go away ever and if i do i will.

And thanks for being so optimistic about my future Will  :D Don't think there that extreme  :)

Some more excellent pictures Will, love the little Krone baler? Any good? Still jealous Mr.!!!

nick i think i will be in there next saturday again i will be doing the same run if you meet me there i will take you right in the place we will have a look round  8) may be a bit early for you mate between 7 and 8 in morning

Sounds awesome to me Graham, i'll get up and that will be brilliant  :) If i give you my mobile sometime in the week i'll give you a call on Saturday  :) Thanks alot mate, never knew you did this line of work?

Front row seat to the tour de France today which was excellent, then fiddled around with the pictures and then been taking some more pictures looking for a suitable entry into the photo competition.
