844john Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 More fert on today before the rain! I must admit to taking a pride in nice straight lines without the aid of auto steer or satellite guidance, but maybe I'm just a bit old school! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was torrential thundery showers, with hail thrown in, at one point i couldn't tell if it was nitrogen or hail that was behind the spinner, but they were short lived, a days steady warm rain would be better 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt wrong with being old school , just shows you know what your doing and don’t need fancy aids to help steer you tractor 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 guess so john ,got to make the most of it, as pretty soon it looks like a call out will just be normal hours, they want to make it work in such a way as ,you go out,work x hours and that is taken as your hours for your next proper day in, so working today means i would get tomorrow of if that makes sense. same with normal OT as well , they just swap your off day round, will make working holidays and long weekend break out a nightmare ,as you wont be able to be sure your weeks patten will be right guaranteed basicly overtime will be a thing of the past anyways just leaving barnstable so hopefully home around half 6ish traffic and weather permitting, its pretty dam misty down here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 It's seems to always be about saving money regardless of how it affects people, i often think that a lot of these companies should look higher up the tree for ways to save money rather than always hitting the people who actually do the work. Hope the fog lifts Sean....it's been lovely and sunny up here today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 it does john, will stop night rates and everything, just a flat hourly wage, as for the weather ,the fog lifted till the part across the moors, then misty rain again, north south for me from plymouth is a dam nightmare drive no matter what the weather, just twisty hilly slow and not many places to overtake . so to be honest, in the van 2 hours odd is a good run , have taken as long as 3 to do the trip, its only 65 odd miles compared to going via exeter way (100 odd ) but both take as long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye drops for the next few days . Welding aluminium with the Mig. Normally I don't weld this stuff. Had an airpack on considering the fumes are far worse than the usual mildsteel. . I think the air being pumped into my shield don't help much ether. It dries out my eyes & just adds to the problem. Even on its lowest setting.
