Started the day off doing a little contracting job for a neighbour.
Planting 40 ha of winter wheat for grazing.
There was even a David Brown involved ( running the grouper bin ) to keep the UK contingent happy

now, I’m not that big ( 184 cm, 85 kg ) but that David Brown must be one of the worst designed ergonomics
Just to hop on the seat to start the engine & then get off again involved climbing or clambering over something

Didn’t get beyond calibrating the airseeder bins.
Actually, didn’t even get to calibrate them.
The seed metering rollers under the bins are driven by electric motors, running through a controller & with input from the tractor radar. 15 years without a hitch.
Until today.
