This part of the pivot was drowned out this time last year. As it hadn't been in more than 12 months I opted for a re seed. Considering how bad it was last year, I'm extremely happy with how it turned out.

Considering the consensus is you can't thicken up a Lucerne stand due to auto toxicity.

Nope, cos I go in ever increasing circles so I finish on the outside

Suppose that way there’s no danger of disappearing up your own chuff!

Also gives you a false sense of time. As you knock the inner 3 towers out in no time....

I love mowing pivots, or laterals, doing it with just a rear mower would kill me though

A couple of loads of machinery as guest items for a local farm sale on Saturday. There is another trailer inside the tipping trailer, with a machine on that!

Direct drilling Winter Beans
Many thanks to @Warnesworth for the use of his drill with Metcalfe points.
The drill used to belong to @Charlie Flindt
My old 7740 handles it ok on the flat.
A few teething problems with a leaking Spool valve coupling on the tractor might mean she goes back in the shed and gets changed for another tractor.
Which would be a shame as I love this old girl and so nice for her to do a proper job

What utter joy to see it being used and loved! We kept it on as the lean mean bean machine after we bought the ST4 for everything else. Great to see.

Fred has been busy on the weed basket today , Will fitted a new slug pellet applicator to the quad and I have been sorting out hydraulic fittings as we have just brought our own pipe crimper . We can’t keep every fitting but enough to get us out of a muddle.

early Christmas present i

think I had my money worth out of the old ones

RWG Contracts · Oct 24, 2023

Last week went to tidy a job where a contractor had dug out without first installing adequate ground support

We wasn’t on site long and realised that a 20t machine wasn’t going to be big enough, please bear in mind this is down a cul-de-sac in a driveway

So today we had a 30 tonner dropped off

Wasn’t much room on site for both machines so parked the 20t up for a few mins to the dismay of residents

started piling

Not the photo you want to get when you’re 350miles away. Hopefully water has peaked and should drop away. They are incredibly stoic about things like this but one or two of the oldies were less than happy!
