grim Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 the guys also got 8520 jd on the other crosslot drill but the fendt walks away from the jonny on the hills so the fendt gets the steep stuff to do.some off the stuff they drill is that steep they get a dozer in that makes a road up the hill and they just come down the way with the seatbelt on and feet on the front window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordson lass Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Lovely pic Grim. Our farmers burn the heather on the scrubland here too. for regrowth as the sheep have more to eat. It's meant to be controlled burning but I've seen half a mountain on fire and no way to stop it before now. Also annoys me as we have red kites nesting in the scrub up here, and they often get burnt to death in their nests. Kfc welsh style anyone?
