Last day we are allowed to go shitty shitty bang bang with manure. Put some water through to clean up the injector. Next time, february 15th.
I have the 6910 on usually but she had on oil leak so the 6610 saw some action for a change.

Spread some grass I cut yesterday

Baling crappy straw.

I only managed one trailerload, that was all that was dry.

Trying to get 15 acres ready for the grass seed man tomorrow. Levelled knowes and slopes to make it a decent silage field only 20 yards from the pit. Disced it a week ago and been soaked since. Frequent stopping to lift stones into the loader slows progress

Started here 10 days ago

Some progress

Getting silly now

Grassman here

The gift that keeps on giving
Traction belt broke

and it had to be in the main road

Thankfully TNS had one in stock and I’m on good terms with the parts dept, who turned out and had it ready for collection ( thanks Paul )
Was quite an evening, tyre bust on the header trailer on the road
Which meant I had to do an impromptu turn in the road, which didn’t end well

might need a bit more than T cut for that one, low branch on a willow tree caught me out.
Then the traction belt, been quite an adventure to cut 11 acre

Went to mow some over due second cut and came across a 'nice' patch of fat hen, where my neighbor's umbilical leaked.
Let him take a short cut across my field. Had to redrill it at the time, shouldn't of bothered

I really feel for you there!

It’s a frustrating season at the best of times, let alone having such continuous machinery issues as you are. It gets very wearing indeed when it’s like that.

It were me I’d be tempted to put that dent through insurance. Accidents happen.

It’s going to insurance, there’s more damage than the picture shows, I did a good job

I would suggest you didn’t do a good enough job!

Have you managed to write it off? Might solve a lot of your problems!

I did consider it might be a close call

Given whatever “value” you currently put on it, I’m not surprised.

That won’t be just yet then, only sprayed the beans/fat hen off this morning

You think it’ll be too wet in December for anything to burn properly...?!

(I’m hopeful you’ll have harvest just about done by Christmas at this rate.)
