Deere-est Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'm out spreading fertiliser today which is among my most favourite jobs to do on the farm. Spring days, sun warming the cab glass, moving round the farm field by field, left alone to get on with the job. . . That's what ranks it among my favourites. Along with rolling pasture, ploughing stubble, dung cart and fencing if there are a couple of you. So what's your favourite and why? Add a pic too if you can. I'll add mine later.

BC Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 For me it has to be cutting grass with my International Farmall Cub and midmounted mower. It is just so nice to listen to the noise of the finger bar mower and hear the tractor govenor kick in when the going gets tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 fertilizer spreading would have to be mine followed by ploughing, rowing up silage and then carting corn/silage/bales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Um the only real one i've properly been involved with but harvest by miles, is great working as a unit and in the sun it can be a good laugh. I also love topping and working in greenhouses or working with a team with plants or mantienence around places like nurserys. With a small powered tractor of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 My favorite job always was and still is ploughing. Really nice to see nice straight furrows standing neatly with no trash showing. A true work of art that unfortunately, with the advent of minimal cultivations, is dying out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerepower Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 nice easy job eh nothing to physucal eh :D :D always got paired up with someone who couldn't drive a tractor so it was fun watching them trying to catch up with me while I zoomed off down the field :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Muck spreading for me, just get a real drive to get the job done, that and having to work the gears with 15 tonnes of muck behind sounds gorgeous. Probably followed by topping as I like to take a real pride in my work on my contracts as that's what gets me more work. Then followed by grain running......love the road work and flashing lights!
