Hoping to do a lot more field work with another in a week or two's time. Still not quite as satisfying as being at the controls of a Ford FW60 Automatic though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Couple of days, Friday and Monday, on the bulk. Here, loading a feed blending at Grimsdyke Granary near Salisbury and later, tipping near Langport. Interesting tip, had to try and let a moist blend do a controlled exit from the trailer, all 29t of it, so the farmer could push it into a small shed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 i am mate, need a break as before it went nuts at work ,all my times been spent doing the house, its kind of thrown me out of plan with my aimed finish date , but on the other hand will pay for a few extras we fancy i guess ,worst case i will be a month behind at the worst ,so still done before the summer for the inside, outside only needs one big job, the cladding. otherwise its all tidying work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
county999 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sean, Surprised they have not got you loan in's on lodge if things are that bad. I know that cabling work has all dried up on our patches so some are are working out of area or even parked up in the yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 we already have loan ins mate, mostly covering cornwall , so we can shuffel up, but its not enough, like you our cabling gone ,one teams in london at present, the others are scratching , its jointing thats gone stupid, we have 2 big sites now going in plymouth, both fttp, we are turning 30-40 odd plots a week between them, and they have just started, aims for more off each , and both are a 25 year plan size wise ,thats without all the others popping up, several overbuilds where they have swapped mid build so we are building the new and also covering the already copper parts. that along with the contractors failing spectacularly to hit there targets , its all stacking up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
