Just out of interest, is the CX7080 much wider/longer than a CX5090 or are they much the same size? What sort of output difference is there between the two in terms of acres would you say?

The police have postponed the search for now and will resume in Autumn/winter apparently

our maize is looking really promising at the moment too, very dark green and looking very healthy. Hopefully stays that way.

The police dogs were up there again on Friday they are going to search the nearest wood again apparently, All the locals have been great going out in big search parties, really hope he's found soon safe and sound!

first time on the forager, loved the 2 days I was on it then back to reality on the trailers for the rest of week

You're very lucky by the sounds of it, good job someone was there with you otherwise it could have been a different story. I've always been told to never work with a bull alone and always have at least two of you there when working with them, however I know that's not always possible.

I've been told he's fully insured and is covered to do contracting

Yeah, I'll slowly get my confidence back and not go rushing straight back into it all, it's shook me big time, I'm just glad I didn't hurt anyone else. It's been an experience I'll never forget, but I'll learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again

I've deleted it as wouldn't want to get anyone in trouble, it's my bosses tractor but not he's trailer, we are sub-contracted in for a big farm using my bosses tractor but using there trailers to haul the seed. He said to me that lads that have accidents before there car insurance has been fine...

Won't go into to much detail but today I had an accident in the bosses tractor resulting in it being a write off(we think) he's took all my details as he will need to say I was the one driving, he said it won't affect my car insurance or NCB it'll only affect his insurance, I'm 17 and insurance...

Heard a lot of good stuff about case, I've also heard if buying a js130 you want to go 2010 or above as the build quality is significantly better but can't say myself only things I've heard off other people

I don't mind really, I understand being a farm worker isn't that great pay. I love my job and as long as I can run my car I don't really mind

Makes me wonder if I'm getting underpaid. 17, drivers license, telehandler ticket, feed all stock in the morning and do a lot of tractor work from cultivations to corn carting etc and do fair bit of maintenance on the kit and general farm work and on £4 an hour. I'd say around £20 a day that's...

Oh right, most people done by us apart from our neighbours who started today , was drying up nicely today until the rain started.

Most have started here in Shropshire and some have finished
