    Grassland starts

    If the disc is tight on the back body first run there will be no grass in the crown. Similarly lower the front disc and nip it op to do the same on the second run. The back disc on the second run needs to be set where you intend to plough the plot. I never bothered changing shares.

    Grassland starts

    Might just need a couple of attempts to get to know where to run. Make sure the outside of the rear wheel runs up to the second furr of the first run. Don’t forget the plough is wound fairly well up on the front so naturally hangs over toward the work. On strong land one of the hardest things to...

Little wonder then that we have shedloads of irate drivers, many of them who think as a post on FB said today …. ‘It’s...

    New Highway code rules ffs

    Ok sorry but the vast amount of public funds directed at a specific group of people who do not actually intend to use the resource created is fundamentally wrong - especially when it has been done with their safety in mind. Here in Leeds vast swathes of road widening have taken place with...
