Most of mine came out with the rootball as well Mam said to me it took 25 years for them to grow and your father spent hours trimming them and it only took you a few hours to rip them up :D The stumps were actually surprisingly small - I just yanked them with the loader - then got down and knocked off a lot of clay before trying to lift again - it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Very busy day at work, mostly chasing after engineers to fix our freezers, chillers and warehouse air conditioning, which one by one just like some of our staff and customers decided they had had enough of the heat today. Relaxing at home now topping up on the Lucozade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't have your talents wasted -Maybe I can direct a Citizens Advice Line to your phone - you wouldn't be bored then! Seriously, we have never been as busy as now - that's what I have been doing today and I am now going out to take Cerin to the barbers! I just sit quietly in the corner trying to ignore all the sexist and politically incorrect talk that Jim the Barber spouts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am stacking bales with a shovel! :D you really need to build yer part up luke think you'll find shovels have buckets on them , so i'd say you were stacking silage bales with a rough terrain articulated materials handler . so instead of being a shovel driver i'd say you were a rough terrain articulated materials handler specialist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I set fire to the pampas grass.... Then printed the club magazine for July and now am planning on returning to the garden and hacking a bit more off the pampas - at least what is left of it!

Marmitemania Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Went to a ploughing match today, took my little lad aged 4 he loved it, he has been to lots of shows and around tractors before, but this time he's a bit older and we were right up with the tractors, he was into everthing, no particular tractors of note there (usual grey fergies,135,majors) that sort of stuff, but there was a lovely 6 cylinder Fordson which sounded mint when pulling hard, the ground was very hard. A good day had by all and for a worthy cause, Northamptonshire/Warwickshire air ambulance and for a local boy aged 5 sadly killed in a tractor accident.
