Deere-est Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Roaded the tractor and trailer up to Marlborough way, getting there at 19.30 the same time as the header. Sat there untill 21.30 with a farmer jumping up and down. . . No combine. Made a phone call to the boss, he'd hired a haulage company to move the 480 but they hadn't even loaded it!! Doing it in the morning now insted. Mobile phones. . . The beauty of communication!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The weather (oh well the lads still don't have the combine ready :D) And the new regulations and part time degree that I will have to do eventually in order to get any support from the EU because I already did a 3rd level degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Sean, not actually seen it myself or spoken to the boss about it yet other than him asking me to ride around the field behind the pikey's hovell to see if any cars had hemp or straw hanging off them. Think forensics came out though \ Someone had also cut the strings through on the bottom layer of bales in 3 stacks on another farm so they fell out of my carrier on the road as the grippers couldn't hold them longer than 20 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
