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!!

Can’t see any reson why it wouldn’t glue or stick with araldite etc. Mine had a big whole in it and bits missing! I’ve known debris to go through into the fan before now and damage the rad so when with the new option. I’m also slightly ocd about broken stuff

I’ve seen that happen to tractors only a couple of months old, use to get them at the dealer for a full cab strip down to clean behind the panels and the electrics etc. The smell of never goes though

Slightly aggressive cow with blood all round her mouth, fortunately it was just from what she had been eating (i.e.afterbirth) and not the remains of any farm staff.

They used to drag the barth trencher on an air braked low loader. It has compressor and tank with air feed to take the park brake off but I think the trailer brakes were manually operated from the seat rather than on foot pedal.
Hell of a set up 30 plus years ago.

We ran majors then countys etc mainly on dump trailers
(shawney pools) with air brakes on trailers with compressor on tractor and a brake leaver on mudguard to operate brakes by hand
Still put trailer brakes on spools sometimes if turning inn going down hill or a lot off down hills never touch tractor brakes just use trailer a lot easier to replace traler brakes and far cheaper

Thanks....you just reminded me I'll probably have a hernia from using ours in a few weeks time!

Ours was converted to have twin wrapping posts by the original owner ....it saves all the waiting around between the back breaking work!

We had a contractor in spreading by umbilical cord. They were in field 9 of 10 when they had to stop with a slight problem with the tractor on the trailing shoe....

A broken half shaft.

Catch up from yesterday -
Last bit of spreading which was a tidy up job!

Loaded up for the last time, for a while at least

And back to the yard for my favourite job! Cutting string off

And wash down, will get oil’d when it’s dried

And treated the 62 also.

Then spent all day today on the sprayer.

Kws Jackall is looking well.

Late sown kws lili coming on to.

And the canary seed has decided to put an appearance in, yesterday’s bit of rain must have got it excited
