SPN Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Got back to the workbench today to do some bits. Was using the drill and thought "maybe I should put on safety goggles". Ten minutes later, with goggles on, the drill bit snapped and took a chunk out of the ceiling over my head. Always wear safety goggles boys and girls. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Old Kloppy has done a grand job there I must say, replacing Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling with three virtual unknowns and then turning all three (salah, Firmino and Sane) into world class players is an incredible achievement. My only concern is that back in the 70s and 80s when Liverpool were last kings of football their fans were just insufferable...……….maybe a bit more dignity will occur this time (but I doubt it) ………………...hopefully they will resist the temptation to have perms and big moustaches this time round Edited December 22, 2019 by bluegreen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Spent ten minutes watching one of the most beautiful birds, the Barn Owl, out hunting yesterday at dusk. A couple of years ago their numbers here seemed to have increased markedly as we were seeing them all the time, but this past year they appear to have declined again as we are seeing much less often. I was just wondering if any of you had noticed a similar pattern where you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 belive it or not we have a good few owls around us, in the middle of plymouth ,its more unusual to not hear them to be honest, pretty sure they are barn owls, i have seen at least one recently. sat in the oak tree behind us, we also have a pair of sparrow hawks that sit on the back fence early some mornings.

844john Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 We seem to have a good population of Tawny owls up here, like you say Sean it's unusual to not hear them...we even get the odd one sat on our bedroom windowsill through the night, which certainly makes you jump when it shrieks! The barn owl numbers really seemed to increase, as again it was more unusual not to see at least one most days either out hunting or sat on a post, but this last year they seem to be less and less obvious.

Don't put up rubbish posts suggesting for one second that a New Holland CR10-90 combine might actually be competitive to, or replaced a Claas machine Andy, or you will have the forums "Green police" coming after you Interestingly I got to speak to Ernest DOEs combine demonstrator back in February who knew all about the "Intellicruise" system on the 10-90 and how it had massively increased the machines output, and substantiated the claim by a local user here in the fens who was harvesting 80 tons of wheat per hour average across the day with spot rates above 100 tons p.hr. He reckoned the CASE 9250 wasn't far behind either with their version of intellicruise and could well believe the CR10-90 outperformed the Lex 780. HOWEVER, he also said he had had the opportunity to drive a pre production Claas 8900 last summer and that once again Claas had succeeded in lifting the performance bar up to a new level. In wheat it had achieved consistent spot rates in excess of 120 tons per hour!!!! Mind you, if it doesn't start raining here soon there wont be much tonnage of anything to harvest around the fens 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 120 tons an hour is 2 tonnes a minute. You need a silage style operation to haul the grain away from that sort of output. What is rate of unloading to chaser bin/trailers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
