Core drilling the stone at each side isn't too bad, it's the crap, rubble infill that causes most problems here. We just hve a cheap set of diy core drills with a go bosch 240v drill. Steady away it's cut 4 and 6 inch holes through stone and concrete blocks. Bucket of water to cool the core...

Saw two yesterday flying round the yard looking for a home..

I have some Site trousers that came from either b&q or Screwfix. Plenty of pockets, reinforced knees that keep nettles and gorse out.

Fields that are still too wet for travelling are going to get a cover crop broadcast on after a light cultvator when it gets a dry crust on top. Bald patches in fields are going to get left till they dry and crack deep, then I've got a muck heap thats like pipe baccy to spread on them.

We once had a Renault on a loader about that size, splines on the front diff pinion shaft wore away so it needed a new crown wheel and pinion. Even 20 years ago it was more than it was worth to fix it but rest of tractor was still ok. Think if I'd wanted to keep it just for the pto I'd have...

Maybe a good thing our government don't have a food policy then that way they can't bugger it up!

Plant a wide variety of tree species as nobody knows how the climate will change in future.

We've got green algae growing in some fields🤦🏻

Is there anything listed on the Valtra options list? I know it would be off the scale price wise but it might give an idea for a farmer fix solution.

More like a shortage of buyers for seed with all the ground thats going into sfi. Don't let the merchant talk the price up. Most folks will have enough grain in sheds to farm save the seed they need.

Have a look in your favourite gun shop and see which ammo they keep in stock then work from there. It's a pain in the rear if you end up driving miles to re stock. I have a .243, used to have a .308 and if I was starting again I'd probably go 6.5x55 or creedmoor.

Photocopy old reg documents then apply for a new one in the new name so theres a paper trail to show new buyers.

We used to dual our Ford 7610 on 16.9x38's. it ended up about 130" wide. Still used it on the 10' power harrow with a MF30 corn drill behind on a bridge link. Travelled well and the drill seams all looked ok when they grew.

We've just done similar, loadall bucket outside the window to shovel the rubble into. Then builders used 2x2 wood I think but could have been 3x3 as I didn't measure it, fastened at 600mm spacings with 50mm kingspan between. Then plasterboard to cover it in. We staggered the electrical sockets...

Mow it, bale it and dump bales in with suckler cows when bedding them up. Then scrat through it and whats left will rot down enough to go through muck spreader..
