It can be a bit bouncy! , deep headland tramlines can be exciting at speed, best avoided if possible! But on the whole I think they are a nice old thing to drive, fairly smooth at speed compared to a conventional tractor, but modern tractors with cab and front suspension are very good now. The Big A cab isn’t luxurious like a modern machine, but that doesn’t bother me, it’s got a nice seat, air con if you want it, and lots of analogue gauges It’s pretty basic, but that suits me, easy to fix. Anything modern, I have added, such as camera systems, GPS etc.

Oh....and a good radio with Bluetooth, gotta have a good radio

Looking for the fence line.

Found it in the end.

Now the fence needs replacing.

She only borrowed it, and hasn’t given it back!

If she rubs the corners off it like she has on her one, I will not be amused!

Bit of this to kill off some osr, then a bit of chimney pot benching up. Note use of string to stop pot blowing off .
Then quick floodlights change, followed by taking kid no2 to kick boxing. Get home and 5mile bike ride with kid no1.

Be careful out there folks gave myself a bit of a fright this morning when welding the handle on a lawnmower, must’ve been a slight weep if petrol from the cap or carburettor and she went up right next to my shoulder [emoji91][emoji91] that’s the aftermath of the extinguisher, luckily no damage done to my eyebrows or the mower
