smithy Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have been getting the last few hedges cut ,this one not been cut for 5 years ,it looked a mess before i started and it defiantly looked a mess when i finished ,it really needs a tree-shear on a 360 to nip it all of at the bottom and then let it regrow ,its not really my hedge it is around a sewage works that serves the local army camp and it belongs to them ,the Air Force was here years ago and they used to keep it tidy ,i suppose with all the cut backs the armed forces don't have the money these days 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Wander about the Anglesey transport museum today whilst having a few days away with Gemma not the biggest museum of its type but some nice exhibits, and a well turned out Nuffield 1060 that's been stretched and fitted with a 6/98....

Valley Axe Man Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Also there is a reverse drive ford 5000, fitted with a loader and clam shell grab, front weight block has NEAL cast in it... Looked to be a numb thing to climb up into, seat being mounted up above the dash... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Another wander about Anglesey with Gemma, called at Red Wharf Bay, where Maurice Wilks drew the line up of the first Landrover out on the sand whilst discuss with his brother...

Can't say as I'd be fond of doing a shift on it... Apparently there was a similar machine in a coal yard at Dumfries, I'm wondering if they were of Irish design and build as both would have had an easy journey over the water from there into Holyhead and Stranraer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes always something to do , had not planned this one but got asked at last minute if i could take JCB down to lift wood out of the ditch , they chipped all the small stuff but they have left me all the good firewood in one heap on my grass margin and all the willow stumps are in another heap which i will put on my bonfire at a later date ,allow we was working in that area of the grass strip i did not wont to make deep ruts running along the rest of the grass ,we had had about 15mm rain that night and ground was sticky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a look if you were down this way, there's more interesting Ag stuff here than the farming museum at York....
