smithy Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 We could have finished harvest in july but last bit of wheat that went in late was at 18% so i left it till 3rd August and it was 14.4% so we cut it and wrapped harvest up ,we dont normally start till the 28th July ,wonder if we will see another harvest this early in the coming years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Good day out up the west Cumbrian coast yesterday with Gemma, called in at Orton Scar Cafe for a breakfast on route, to go and see a good man about a bit of "gold" then luckily got chance of a quick 3 mile run up to the village and back in his rare pride and joy, came home via St Bees, found a crab whilst wandering on the beach and then had a coffee whilst watching the lifeboat men return from what sounded like a training exercise. Once of a day that life boat tractor could have been a County..... received_1168955307169451.mp4 received_1081474532477286.mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant Sean ,cab is very good place to be everything at your finger tips , just set things as the book said and just tweak things as your going produced a clean sample from the start , harvest has been done early this year because of the dry weather but this TX63 gets over the acres . I did like the TX34 and wont run it down i did not plan on selling it but i am really pleased i invested a lot more ££££ into this TX63 and in a wet year it should be able to ****** the acres up on the dry days . The 34 had a few crease nipples that was awkward to get to but on the 63 they are all within easy reach so greasing up in mornings was more pleasant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha err no as much as she said she liked the 100, she said she would keep the 804, I can see her point, be a lot of money tied up in having a 100 in the shed.... especially one of the low numbers of a 2wd or 125.. let alone the ultra rare 115, saying that when we were talking with Andrew on Sunday, that rumours were floating about that the bloke that has Tom Woodhouse ex 125 was asking about 80k for it.... But saying that bloke that did that 804 up that brought it to Chipping, that Stephen Nolan reckoned that 804 was 40k when he sold it. .. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
