robbo Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I suppose we should have a topic for, "What really amazed/shocked/surprised you today" but, as we haven't I will put this in here. I am quite used to seeing various species of roadkill in Cheshire, usually Badgers, Foxes or various birds, usually pheasants that didn't get out of the way fast enough. However, I was on the M25 London Orbital motorway yesterday and I saw at least 3 dead deer on the hard shoulder oir central reservation, quite small species and probably Muntjac deer. In all the years I have been driving around the north west I cannot ever remember seeing a deer as roadkill. I thin what made it especially surprising was that we road was going through a built up area so they must be living quite close to the city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 strange you have said that mike, i have noticed a lot of young dead deer on the main roads down this way this year, lot more than normal thats for sure, seen two on the m5 in the central reservation as well . for me, a first for myself and brother, just fitted a set of 4.5 m wide bi folding doors, lot simpler than we thought, bar figuring out the way the internal beading and rubbers fitted . only issue was his expanding foam gun went bang and proceeded to empty itself inside, went all over him, prob wrecked his boots amd jeans , and all over the floor, and middle two doors/glass , very luckily it missed me mind, last half hour spent cleaning it of the new windows etc and once part set off the floor and walls . his other halfs now missing a bottle of nail varnish remover . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant push the like button for this one as its not nice to see the dead deer , we see several around here on side of the road dead I have found two in the past dead in my fields I expect they got hit and run of injured 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 We we're out at Smallwood rally over the bank holiday weekend, an excellent show near Sandbach, Cheshire. It has a really good balance of a little bit of everything and has managed to get their health and safety balance spot on so as fun can be had, while the public remain out of danger. We had one of our miniatures on the dyno, recorded 3HP and 60lb-ft of torque, but it was re calibrated later in the day so that, combined with the issues that arise from doing the maths with such a small flywheel etc, would suggest the real figure is alittle higher. As you can see it generated considerable interest! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richo Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 On holiday near Berwick this week with the wife and 6 year old boy. Skinny dipping in the sea followed by haggis and chips. Does this make us proper Northerners? Came across this advert in an old copy of Scottish Farmer that was lying around. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have memories of using an older John Deere belt baler as the first round baler I used. Great in hay and straw but awful in silage, grass would get wrapped round roller too easily. Yours obviously doesn't behave like that. Now use a new JD F440 baler which will bale anything in any condition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a JD 550 before this baler and that used to be painful if the crop wasn't ideal, like you did, we had problems with the rollers wrapping up with grass and in straw it would sometimes struggle to start the bale rotating inside the chamber, the final nail in its coffin was when the straw was brittle and it wouldn't pick it up at all one year. I quite fancy a welger when I change this, I've heard lots of good things about them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 This was a week or two back, but last bit of raking for the end of first cut silage. Second cut likely to be in 1st week of July. The crop here was so thin it should really have been left for hay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
