Then there's those of us who were incorporating burnt stubbles with Bomford Turbotillers sat in Duncan cabs on their 30 series John Deeres back in the 80's :giggle:

Set it up with the 30mm bit fitted in the hole and then swop to the 32mm bit? If you can't swop bits just mark the position or clamp guides to reposition the drill back in the same place

When I went to pick eldest boy up about 15:20 there was a big Caterpillar dump truck being escorted up by the leisure centre going north. There were plenty of wide open mouths on the kids coming out of Holmer School :D

Sometimes it's hard to get your head around the sterility of the area you're treating in a lot of incidents on farms and the like. All you are doing is doing your best at the time. Yes I know where you're coming from, prior preparation prevents......... but accidents happen and not when they're...

No fork to hand? You can improvise a tourniquet round the neck with bale string ;)

An old shepherd I worked with when I was a student told me that there's not really any new ideas in farming just new tools. You'll still be doing the same thing as those before you and still be trying to work with the land and Mother Nature.

I know that's the proper way but hammer and rag was to hand :D

Only a few places to park kit plus the nettles don't grow that fast under the hedge. Note to self....... Put the kit on in the middle of the night, fine if you know what you're doing the next day :D

I had that yesterday when putting a Votex flail topper on. How can both pipes on the sideshift ram be pressurised when it was free from the floor? At least I remembered to put a rag over the end when I smacked it with a hammer and not get splattered with oil ;)

I did have a spare full set of 15P Green tops until last week when my Defender decided to throw a bit of a wobble. No3 injector broke the spring into 3 pieces and the push rod popped off the rocker. I think I need to hang onto what I have just in case.....
