Bit of topping today in the Leyland, acre field, went through 3 shearbolts! Bloody things, problem found to be slipping pto clutch when engaging causing it to shear, tried it on some heavy bracken in some places 10+ ft high, coped incredibly well with it, now cleared an area to put up a tractor shed to keep it and the machinery out of the rain.

Looks different weather to the last time we were on the field Mr Smith ;). As we were saying the other day, harvest seems ages ago now, can't believe it's only 6 weeks since we were on the field. Nice job with the plough there Smithy. What's going in the field for next Season?

Thanks John , yes weather not so good on that day it was light rain for most of the day it got to 7pm and rain was still coming down so I went home , last time you was there it was sunshine 7-15pm and we rushed to the pub for some grub haha . Been a long six weeks but I suppose as we keep busy on other things time just goes bye . Its going into wheat again ,was going to be Leeds but as its not really done to good this year we have swopped it for a different variety but at this moment I cant remember its name (must be my age:angry:) will look at paper work up farm tomorrow and let you now .

The name of the winter wheat is GRAVITY

rolling the rape land the variety is CAMPUS it say on bag it weighs 21.6KG and there is 4 million seeds per bag I used 3 bags , it desperately needs a bit more rain at moment otherwise I might have to replant with something else .
