mb86 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Finally got all the baling finished for this year. Did the last 16 acre of second cut, and 60 acre of wheat baled up and even managed to get the little baler going and made 230 of wheat. Some late nights to get done before the rain that came this morning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) That press does a good job Smithy, have you drilled ant rape this year? the press is cheaper to run than a power-harrow and as I use a combination drill it save power-harrowing twice but I sometimes still power-harrow some headlands as you head them right for turning with sprayer to save boom-bounce .Yes we have about 32acres of rape in the ground been in about 2 weeks had one flea beetle spray so far and one planed for next week the variety is ARAZZO my neighbour put it in with his tracked J/D and simba outfit did not get pictures this year as I was doing a job away from farm at the time Edited September 12, 2015 by smithy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Not been in long as Saturday morning started of a little bit wet so I went and spread some horse muck ready for ploughing in by then the sun was out so went and ploughed another field in barking and next door they were cutting some wheat so I had something to watch when the wind had blown the dust away 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 had the architect round today for approval of our final drawings ready for the planning application , certainly pays to think out of the box when applying, have still done a single story extension ,as advised, but its a open box to allow new stairs to be fitted, thus giving us a huge amount of space in not just one room as planned but 3 in total, have had to sacrifice a down stairs toilet , but that's no huge loss given the square meters we will gain in the house overall for a small extension, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Went to a local farm sale this morning and came home with an ifor stock trailer, tried it out this afternoon sending dad with a load of fat lambs to the mart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's been a lovely week weather wise, with not a cloud in the sky for days, it's forecast to change this weekend though. Been busy with sheep work with a couple of batches to go through to treat a few lame ones and also preparing some mule gimmers for the breeding sale later this month. gave them their second 7 in 1 injection and dipped them today. Plan on getting the cubicle housing ready tomorrow for the cows to come in for the first time when the weather breaks. Hope to go to a local ploughing match on sun that I have always missed since it started a couple of years back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
