tractorboyjules1977 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 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 !! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboyjules1977 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 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 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorboyjules1977 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 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 !! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were down to 1 forager with the krone being plagued by lots of niggles so the john Deere having to take upnthe extra work load , 1st cut in was around 1400 acres chopped , and 2 be cut were already in 250 acres !! The new 7310r on pit duties after arriving from smarts agriculture early last week , on the other hand the new valtra being hitches up for spraying duties alongside the unimog,with the cows on there paddock rotation grazing we've got some light dressing of AD liquid waste going on .
