smithy Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This conifer came down several weeks ago into my field from a garden ,the couple that live there are well into there eighty's and could not cut it up and they would have run my wheat down getting to it if they had a tree surgeon in so i cut around it and then went back with JCB it was still slightly attached at bottom but JCB was able to grab it and tear it away ,i loaded it up and brought home complete and put on my bonfire , if we was nearer Christmas i might have been able to sell it 😂 ,trailer is 26 feet and a good 10 to 15 feet hanging out the back ,only a 3 miles to run back home so chucked a strap over it and got back home 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Jasmine at 16 years old past her tractor driving test a few weeks ago and was keen to do a road-run , anyway PDC (Paul capon) talked us into doing this one with him in aid of St .Elizabeth Hospice . It was being run over at Waldringfield over side of Ipswich to us ,anyway i drove the MXM120 over there with Jasmine as passenger ,took 1.5hrs to get there ,once there Jasmine took over driving around the 25 mile route while i was passenger ,some was on main roads some was on back roads and a good hr of it was across farm tracks down near Felixstowe , was a really good day out , stopped on a playing field at Kirton for lunch as the Kirton scouts/Guides was cooking lunch for us ,including the lunch break run took about 6hrs to complete then we had another 1.5hrs trip to get home ,so roughly a 9hr day for us .Used 59litres of fuel . After the run PDC unhitched his trailor and i brought it back home to mine as he is lending it to me for next month when i am going to hook up my Fordson Major to it and run a bride and bridesmaids to church ,just hoping its not raining . Think there was 35 tractors on the run 20220820_103840.mp4 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
