That’s spoilt the end of what’s been a good day, snapped folding up the power harrow ?

Pity, was coming down really well ?

One or ours did that because the shafts had been off to be greased and put back in the wrong orientation.

Ah, think that’s my problem, had the shaft off when the shear bolt went and put it back in a hurry to keep going as had ploughed land ahead of me in November. Hadn’t folded it since then, bugger, self inflicted.

Made a start on spring drilling

Not seen any of this for a long time can’t believe how it’s dried

Let some air into the ploughing yesterday with my daughters help. 95% of the field was perfect but one part of the headland was like porridge. After 5 hours in the sun and wind yesterday it dried well so drilled the middle. Headlands now lifted waiting to dry before drilling.

Bit of early spraying. It was very soft in places, so took the digger out. Found a bit of bank had collapsed and blocked a big outfall. To say it poured out would be an understatement.

Didn't know wether or not to put this in the bodges thread. I knocked them in as far as I could with the sledge, I couldn't find my new Staples so had to recycle the ones in the posts and I forgot the saw to level them off. Also the dogs should be in the today not at work thread.
