Its strange though
Most farmers would think nothing of getting into a £50k tractor with mucky hands, yet would not get into a £5k car the same
Me included
I don’t like getting my hands dirty full stop! The old man real p!$$es me off though, his tractor wold look like stigg of the dump lived in it if I didn’t keep bollocking him! The number of times I’ve found the grease gun in the cab:mad::banghead::cry:

Here’s what’s been happening this week -
Got caught up with the muck spreading for a bit.

Finally got a spare hour to sort some of my own jobs out, so treated the 6520 to a new bonnet louvre, mirror glass and a tail light cover (hedge cutting damage!!!!)

New buttons on the 6630 as well.

Had a day at the airport, they’ve finally got a ramp after 6 years of asking!

And the new batwing landed thanks to @ED.D (y), however the lads decided they couldn’t be bothered to drop a machine off one of the tractors to move it:facepalm: do you think it’s over loaded? :ROFLMAO:

And finally got a call, “have you got time to do some firt spreading?” Sure why not(y) got a bit of spare time, there and asked “how much is there?” Reply “erm about 600ac” doh:facepalm:

It’s not a bad when it’s a mile from one end to the other, I have ordered a hopper extension though:rolleyes:

And that’s about it for this week(y)


Can the bonnet louvres be glued any sense at all do you know? Ours has some hedgecutting damage but they’re all there, just a bit flopsy!!
