Good point, but would it not be cheaper to give him a ball of baler twine to plait into a new tow rope?

Sent son rolling last Sunday. 3 hours in 120hp tractor with cab, radio and aircon. 10 acres of October hoof trodden pasture.
It looks much better, won't break an ankle if I have to chase a cow across it and should make the grass tiller.
Harrowing is the work of the devil, breaking all the tips off the grass just as it gets going.
Just 10 acres of mucked new seeds to harrow across and that's all I can bring myself to do.

God, this again?.... So much over the hedge farming... There's a lot of ground around here that simply must be harrowed and/or rolled/aerated. You can tell when it hasn't been, plus it's repairing winter damage and helping to make things grow and help get rid of/deter the rubbish, level the molehills, fill the pits, squash the stones, etc, What is so bad about that?! Some like to look after their ground, fodder, animals and kit.
And if you can make some nice straight lines rather than waste time snaking and making each turn in the next run sharper and sharper with bigger and bigger over laps then even better!

After rhe telescopic handler and the tractor the roller is probably the best implement on the farm.
Roll on Spring when we can get the rollers out and go rolling everything in sight to make all those pretty stripes. A couple of bags of Nitram per acre and the heavy rollers can sort out most crop problems, apart perhaps form an attack of Eyespot in June.
Of course when I say a couple of bags of Nitram I mean those old bags of 50 kg weight; and not two bags of 600kg that in all honesty, much as I love the roller, no amount of rolling would ever put right.

That game is a damned nuisance.
When looking on google for a specific machine, half the results are polygonal - especially if it's an older machine.
If you want to play in FS, that's fine. No need to upload a screenshot every ten seconds, though.

I had to chain harrow some fields i'd spread muck on so used it as an opportunity to teach my eldest son how to drive the tractor. I think he enjoyed it and probably one of the safest jobs to learn on.

I used to stick a varispreader on at the same time as the chain harrow and put some fresh seed to freshen up the sward.
Rolling the was the first job i did when learning to drive a tractor. Unfortunately I tried to reverse into a corner before I had been taught how to reverse with a pivoting implement- the tractor wheel caught the roller frame and the front end went skywards
. Fortunately only about a foot, and I dipped the clutch just in time

Yes, I still think in terms of 'bags per acre', I would automatically just work 85kg /ha back to about 70 units or two bags per acre!
Same as if someone quoted timber size as 100x75 it would mean nothing until I could make it 4x3: just the way my generation learnt things forty or fifty years ago I suppose, and how some of us still think.
