smithy Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 As we have had 55mm of rain since last Tuesday land work has come to a halt ,so a house holder next to my farm asked if I could do anything with his conifer tree that was planted in 1966 he has trimmed it a few times over the years but just got to big so one chainsaw one JCB and job half done got to nip back with mini-digger and dig around the root and pull out 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 As it has been dry for a couple of days I thought we had better start making a mess so got my mate back for a couple of days to drive digger and spread out the spoil that came out of the ditch we cleaned out over the winter . Had to get tractor mounted straw chopper out to chop first two rows as big balers did not turn up before the rain last week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Whilst my mate was on the digger I started the job of moving about 400 tons of topsoil onto a very stiff/clay headland so hopefully it will improve it I did 23 loads in a ten ton trailer yesterday and have about the same again to move but rain stopped play again 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Bit of a manic afternoon yesterday, i had delivery of a new 6ft fleming topper and 5ft fleming linkbox, then had to fit a new seat to the leyland as the base has rotted through and collapsed, new one fitted, still wobbles due to original runners being seized so we've put new runners on top and fixed studding down for now. Then went on to Yesterdays Farming for the weekend and made it with no incident. Also picked up a cultivator yesterday to go on the back, nice little one for a very good price, hoping to try out at the weekend.

Anderson Agri Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Back from a cracking weekend at Yesterdays Farming, Gave the leyland a go on the cultivator handled it no problem when it dried out, although a small cultivator so should easily do it did start to slip when it was first ploughed but the tread is around 30% 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must hae had better weather than here, been showers on and off all day. We got rained off eventually, but just nuisance showers really, it certainly made it interesting coming up Wears bank with that little lot on in the wet, they're 4'6" bales and as heavy as hell, she was in bottom gear split and was just scrabbling for grip at one point, needless to say I was a bit clenched! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
