Do you turn your muck before spreading Bob?

Yes CMB we do as we would spread in on grass land at the back end of the year so it has all winter to go into the ground. But most of it would be plough in on ground we have for reseeding

So after Bob was finish up it was off down the road on my was back i met this mean machine its my next door neighbours father on his 35 sorry about the picture but i was driving at the time on my last trip back my neighbour waved me down and ask could he have a load of silage down as he has run out so i got to drive his MF5475.

I bet your uncle loves being able to get out on the land, Bob. Good on him for still getting stuck in. :)

Aye tris he loves to get out on the land we alway let him roll the silage ground makes him happy and makes him feel apart of the team just hope when im his age i can do the same work

soft lookin bales there ha ha!

Thats the joys of baling in a wet year and and stacking them up these bales that were on the trailer were the bottom row thats why there so out of shape ;D
