Anderson Agri Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Bit more done to me tractor shed today, rear portion now finished, just needs flashing around edges of roof. Then the same again but on the front to give another two bays worth of space, and possibly a third bay at a later stage 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB BLOKE Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The green beacon flashes so that the health and safety bloke can see that you've got your seat belt on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendtenator Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Or going by the amount of them I see still flashing when the operator is in the bothy having his tea, it lets you know he's got his seatbelt plugged in behind him! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Been a wet and windy weekend here in my bit of Suffolk so moved sawbench and splitter into a open front shed and cut up the trailer load of firewood under cover from the weather and put it all in big bags filled 15 of them , 4 of them I took straight out to a couple of friends that have helped me on the farm this last season 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 After a few months of sitting in the middle of the field as a non runner the ED-40 finally lived again today, after rebuilding and fettling most of it without luck 2 squirts of easy start and off it went.. Hopefully the only time i'll have to use the dreaded stuff! Gave it a good blast up through the village a couple of times and realised what a lovely little tractor it is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smithy Posted March 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2019 I had this carier drill in shed not used it for over 15 years now the rubber seed pipes had perished and the plastic seed rollers had all gone brittle so would cost a lot to put right if parts was still available and a few hrs work ,so as it fitted on front linkage ok I cut of the top part ,moved it into workshop and welded on a couple of support bars ,turned all the tines around so I can now push it on the front , so that it can just tickle the top ready for the power-harrow on the back . Only done a small area so far but it is working allow to improve it ,it needs a little crumblier roller on the back of it to help maintain the depth as I am having to just carry it on front linkage so it don't dig in to deep , if I don't bend it in the meantime I will look out around the farm sales for a 4 meter one , I do have a 3 meter one laying on my salvage heap that I could put in the middle and not worry about ends but that will be next winters project 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 A nice thing to do mate, I planted quite a few including Alder, Maple, Beech, Ash, Wild Cherry Horse Chestnut about 20 years ago, they are coming on nicely. Also an Oak that I grew from an acorn from Alfreds Tower about 15 years ago, thats getting on for 20' tall now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I wanted a Oak but my supplier had run out ,he could have got one from Holland but it was £100 for a import/quarantine licence so I had the Red Oak instead . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
