    Sprayer pump failure

    They look like comet pump valves. Springs have always been weak in them. I change mine every year, easy to do. I left them for two years when I first got the sprayer but found a few broken springs, pump still worked but sounded slighly different. Only need to change the springs, the valves don't...

    Insecure load !!!!

    Followed this chap at 15-20mph for a while today. Safe to say that he's a bit overloaded and not secure.

    Michelin tyres 650 / 85 r38

    The bloke on youtube, "Its a farming life for me" had a new JD with tyres that measured narrow. I think he said there had been a problem with the new moldings and they had stopped making them.

    Flytipped beet back in the 80's. We used to store our beet in the layby near the farm every year. No one every complained back then.

    Wreckers!!

    Did the same a few years back with a massey drill, knocked the shuttle into reverse to back in the corner but the electric spool had locked out and didn't lift the coulters.

    what grinds your gears

    Auto cancelling indicators! Ok on a car but who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to fit them not only on a tractor but also on a combine. Turn on indicator, minute movement of steering wheel and off it goes. End up holding the stalk to keep it on. Pointless 😡😡

    not really record temps...

    They interviewed a woman in Death Valley about the extreme temperature there, she agread the high temps were caused by climate change by what humans were doing. She was on holiday there and came from Spain! Don't think its just the BBC that don't get it.

    Price of road planings/scalpings

    Spoke to a guy doing roadworks near us. He said that a high percentage of the plannings legally had to go for recycling meaning the small amount remaining was in demand therefore worth good money.

    It may have been £300+ but there were no buyers when it was that high. I know because I tried to sell some.

    I'm all for using food but .....

    I can't smell off milk. The first I know is when it floats to the top when I pour it into my tea!
