I do like a drop of cider on a sunny afternoon I must say. Though I find myself becoming quite fussy nowadays. There are some very good, small cider makers now I won't touch the big names names anymore. They all seem to give me acid reflux!!

Polzeath beach. Nice and quiet. :hilarious: I bet you locals love this time of year.:p:ROFLMAO:

Look a bit closer and you can see a bale which escaped and sped off with the Mrs and me helpless as observers on the tractor.

It hurtled off down the field with me thinking,damn it’s going to hit the water tank,no the gatepost and then it went straight through the open 12 ft gate,across the road :eek::nailbiting: and gently bounced to rest on the cut grass verge.

Youve got to be lucky sometimes (y)
I hate round baling. When i got my baler i had a bar to go on the back so they rolled out and i didnt have to reverse every. I took it off so they would stay where i dropped them and not keep rolling and ive never used it since. Come to think of it i dont know where it is anymore :scratchhead: having to reverse across the hill with every one wouldnt be too bad if the slope was all one way but mine slope every bloody way and some have houses at the bottom of the hills and there are bloody roads everywere too :nailbiting: getting quite good at dropping bales though but f**k its stressful hoping they stay where you drop them. The field ive just finished my mate with the wrapper asked me to bring the bales down off the steep bits with the loader for him because there wasnt anywhere decent to drop them (n) i wish i could afford a square baler but from what i remember they werent much better in some places and you had no control over whre you dropped them either so sometimes they would come out of the baler and run away :arghh:
Still wouldnt go back to small bales though :LOL:

Your Mrs is obviously distracting you.




If you'd been paying attention it never would have missed everything to go through the gate :LOL:
