Deere-est Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 You'll enjoy that, Tommy! I'm about to leave for Tilbury again. I have a Mercedes mini-coach to drop off this time. After Tilbury it's over the Dartford Bridge and along to Sheerness to drop off an MF165 and then home via Tunbridge Wells to pick up an MF2640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 A day on the farm today. Shifting silage bales at the moment. Had a day of it all round yesterday. Got caught up in Tilbury for three hours due to the DAF LF and the MF595 not being booked in by the shipping company. During that the Howard that came with me for the day fell when a ratchet slipped and he has broken his arm. . . 8am that happened and he waited 'till we got home via Cheffins at 18.30 to be taken to hospital Meanwhile one of the chaps who helps on the farm had to go to hospital after his chest was on the receiving end of a back hoof of a year old bull. . . Ouch. Today, infact just about now; Traci will find out if she is one of the redundancies planned by her work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Back to something close to normality at Coop Helmsley having chased around for the last week like a certifiable insomniac during the store's major refit. Looking forward to having a proper catch up on here and celebrating my Dad's sixtieth birthday this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshParkinson Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Was meant to be replacing some fencing in the garden with dad this afternoon but it rained just as we were about to start so scrapped that idea, just about to go out and sharpen my work knife as it's slightly blunt... Cutting baler twine is like smashing concrete with a teaspoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Off to my cousins wedding reception if Traci can ever bloody get ready Will be the first family do after the loss of both grandparents on that side of the family so while the anchors of the family may not be with us, our roots are still strong and I am very much looking forward to getting together to celebrate something good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Had a day without work or working on the house today for a change. Had Traci's cousin who is a bricky come round, he is going to carry on chipping out the pointing as I am running out of time and the weather is turning. As the weather is affecting his work it will help us and help him out too. The usual Sunday visit from the inlaws and a quick trip for the weekly shop. Even got some modelling time in (Tim will be pleased!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 This afternoon I have been out on two recoveries with my pal Stuart but I'm undecided where to post the first one...under BC's Farming photos in Farm Talk or Heavy Vehicle recovery in General discussion since well the first one was farming relating but using a heavy vehicle recovery lorry. I'm currently loading some photos on to PB so watch both spaces if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always handy to know a bricky :) .................... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Took me a while to work that one out! And well, it's all about being a jack of all trades, master of none! And by the time i come out of there i will have 2 GCSE's in bricklaying, painting and decorating, and joinery without sitting a single written test. RESULT! And then if i was to stay on another year i would be fully trained but... Nahh, handy to know it's there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Delivered ten loads of logs and since 14.30 I have been wrapping silage bales. Boss is a New Holland man and always has been. However, today he has a Lely rp435 round baler on demo. Having used it very successfully in straw he thought he'd better try it when baling grass is at it's most trying! We are very impressed and I don't think the BR7070 would be much of a challenge for speed or bale density or maintenance. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Off down towards Exeter airport today to where a farm sale was held. I have three tractors to collect. Traci is coming along for a ride out so we may stop for an ice-cream at a farm owned ice-cream cabin on the A30 on our way home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Try a bamboo cane, works well in training an unruley dog, you don't have to hit them with it but they know the threat is there, well it worked with Buster anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 My mate said the same yesterday as it happens.... I may well resort to that yet.. but my trainer is more scary than the dog in all honesty :D I'd better follow her instructions in the first instance.. mind you... a bit like your student... he should be well on the way to learning by now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
