nashmach Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 This actually happened yesterday. Moving cattle from a small field to another. One ba**ard tried everything not to come out of the field including turning everywhere on my father and trying to get under the twine he was using. Then when they were out going down to the yard into the crush he decided to turn again. I stopped him but then he decided to jump a twine run around the yard jump another twine - Jump over a gate and bend it in bits and then he and the rest of them ran faster than me down the lane. Had to run across a 4 acre grass field jump a ditch and then run through a 20 acre field of spring barley and then to realise that they were in the neighbour's field after he left his gate open and were up on the ditch at the bottom. Luckily Dad got them back up and we put them into the field. > Thank God for mobile phones is all I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Think it was a sewer one in Edgbaston. A right posh old close it was aswell, electric gates, solar powered houses, posh shrubs with them really long names, ya know, like Lavender and stuff. Well it now has a chrome topped manhole cover and a two WWII trenhes across the green.. . .. . to make things worse the sods never wanted the 6 pallets I had so I had to return to Cirencester with them!!! All that for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Think there may be a few sub-surface flag stones now too!!! None repairable Marky I am afraid. Got a gert kink in it just where the bar spits in two on the drivers side. May just salvage the LED's, bin the bar and get some grill infill lights. New to me but saw tham at Truckfest and they look pukka!! Shame though, the LoBar is my favourite of the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 The kerbs are a pain too as you loose a good foot of space because you can't hang the fron bumper over them when manouvering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 not sure why they can't do the roads in stages ,as they build the places, would be a lot easier,cost me 150 quid for a new midel section,fortunatlly that was on the old escort i had,not me beemer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
