Nothing exciting to report. Making beds then drilling them 🙄 took a fancy picture though

After a new head gasket and radiator my scrapper tractor is home again and it’s so nice to see it again as went to the menders in January.
Luckily we were supplied with a loan tractor but it’s condition wasn’t the best but it has completed its work thankfully ,even if the seat rocked left to right like it wasn’t attached.

Spring must be here now.

I have been swapping these sort of wheels spring and autumn for nearly 40 years - don't I wish that I had a 3/4 impact all those years ago when it was a very difficult all day task for 2 people and no forklift to help.. I manage it on my own now in less than an hour depsite being mature - or as someone described it the other day on here "too old to be allowed on to a farm"

Then I went and found a wet bit.....

Sows had to have a bale of silage that the rabbits had started on. They enjoyed it immensly which was a good job as we had an all-day power cut and their feeder wouldn't work.
