    You know you're a stockman tractor driver when.....

    It was only for 1 day... until I got a new one . Had a lad driving it for 2 days , he is nearer 30 stone than 20 , pulled himself up using the steering wheel . And bonus points for using empty dairy detergent buckets to carry meal in the cab..

    anyone ever build their own grain bruiser

    Possibly take your rollers out , and get them redone in a lathe , and cut new tracks , the crossways at an angle tracks across the rollers . A relative had a 5 " Fraser with the rollers machined smooth and new tracks . It was fantastic to put barley through it . Very small outlay , try it first ?

    I had one the exact same for 17 yrs , and it was a teenager when I bought it . It did a lot of work , for very small money . Had the heart of a lion . Brakes were so so , but no worse than round axle MF.
