Last week spread most of the fym.

Rain showers made loading sticky.

Ploughed it all yesterday and today. Prefer using 6800 on 18.4 tyres but tread getting down and surface went greasy with the weekend rain. Gave the 155 an airing instead.

One of the cattle got itself stuck. Managed to get its leg into the ring then out of the side. Needed persuasion from a fence post to lift it back through.

Success! In the correct field for the first time this week! Unfortunately shauna (as shes been renamed) is still here. I keep hoping she'll go lame so I have an excuse to cull her but shes perfect in every way except when you have to handle the b*tch.

It’s more powerful but not as refined the dewalt is the nicer to use

Two containers with some machinery today. Sometimes when you open the door you wish you could just close it up straightaway and send it off especially when it’s heavy and it has shifted in transit luckily these weren’t too bad.

No not usually as they're only in each field for normally 3-4days which is usually fine as they dont get bored but this place is a nightmare.

Got told that the hedges were fine enough that they should be ok here.
Havent got time to do it at the moment as dads really not very well and has been house bound for the past 2 weeks so I'm all on my own foot thr foreseeable future :/

Snap ...I have the other model. They are a good splitter I think. We bought this type as you can lower it to slide in a heavy log.

I don’t like to put up too many posts on a day bIut this is really worth putting up. This chap just dropped into a cabbage field just now 6 o’clock our time. Apparently it’s the chaps first time flying this plane and he had fuel problems so an emergency landing in the cabbages. Unfortunately he cannot take off through the broccoli cos the soil is too soft.
