ImpressiveThis morning we fetched my latest favourite tool , a bomford b577 mower with a spearhead hx cutting head . We brought it off a nieghbour who hadn’t used it for a while and it was I bit of a state . After a good steam clean and a grease it was good to go . A couple of small leaks to sort but enerything worked as it should . View attachment 719588 View attachment 719586 View attachment 719584 View attachment 719582

Was waiting for someone to ask that, field boundary change, drilling winter barley after spring barley, also the pictures were taken where the field caught fire earlier this year.
Looked like this further over
That’s another field clear and the margin back to arable
Is it a snake
......noooo, mowers found some more wire and chewed another set of belts, these only lasted 2 hours 
....that’s another £40 of belts, see how long these last, think I need to start bulking up the order

Same here. I was getting riled and jumping up and down this morning because I've got sh!t loads to do and can't. Dad reminded me that the rain will do more good than I can and it's batter to be wet on a Sunday so everyone can enjoy a day of rather than in the week when we want to get on.
A few pics from the last week
Finished the muck spreader rebuild. It's not a job that should be done this time of year but we had to bite the bullet and do it. I'd much rather have been tucked up in the shed doing it in dec/Jan.
Ran the discs through the ex rape ground ready to plough next week.

He’s probably got her rolling and doing a bit of spraying in between...
She’s on a more important job. Cooking my dinnerCan you not set Mrs Silver fox on ploughing?
.I do need to train her up on the ploughing, but she’d be the first to admit, that it’s not really her skill set

Truth be told I'm feeling a bit behind, I haven't drilled anything yet. I've got some land worked down ready to drill though but have still got plenty of muck to spread before ploughing.We're like you @Nick we've been waiting for rain, the rape I disced yesterday was powder in places 2 inches down.
