Gav836 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I reckon i got a job contracting with the ffarm next door.. big bales, slurry etc and milking Good luck with that Rhys, even if you're doing mainly yard work its still a start its how I started when I was 16, I was 21 before I actually got a tractor on a farm that I could call my own. All these things come with time once you have gained experience and the respect of an employer, someone who is willing to do yard work as much as backside on seat work will go a long way in the farming industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Vendors have altered the contract of sale for the house after our solicitor told them the only people interested in their house would pull out with a full deposit hanging in the balance! Should have a set of keys by next Friday. . . We have heare heard that line alot though \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hang in there Tris. When we were buying our house here in Hatherden we were completing on the Friday (which was 13th). Contracts had been exchanged etc. On the Tuesday I drove past to see a new "for Sale" board from another Estate Agent; Midweek Advertiser had a "New Instruction" advert and I went ballistic! By Wednesday the sign was uprooted and on Friday we finally got the keys! Whew... I wouldn't have minded but the [ex-]wife had been phoning me almost every night to confirm we were really going through with the deal for a month or more. You would have thought that a bird in the hand... A year or so ago a neighbour, who is the vendor's friend, told me that he was visiting from New Zealand and he would bring him up to see me. Guess what my reply was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Finally getting back on the "interweb" at home after over a month of frustration and pointless phone calls to customer service and technical support call centres.

I assume you must have loads to post on here now ??? Thanks Bill I have a few photographs to post but within the time i've been away from here i've also been very busy at work and i'm also recouperating from a couple of health issues unfortunatley which have kept me inside and away from one of my favourite hobbies. Frustratingly i've missed quite a bit decent silaging action in the area recently but i'm going to be back out taking lots of working photographs soon especially as the Power on the Land competition has started again in Classic Tractor. To this regard i've been sending my camera out with my Dad to work so he could capture some of the plant he has been operating in a couple quarries and a big landfill site over the past month, all will be revealed very soon.

What pleased me is that there is still a lot of silaging to be done yet in Aberdeenshire so hopefully I'll still have time to get some pictures.
