    Combine for 700 acres

    Just out of interest, is the CX7080 much wider/longer than a CX5090 or are they much the same size? What sort of output difference is there between the two in terms of acres would you say?

    Bad tempered bull......

    You're very lucky by the sounds of it, good job someone was there with you otherwise it could have been a different story. I've always been told to never work with a bull alone and always have at least two of you there when working with them, however I know that's not always possible.

    Will my car insurance be affected?

    Yeah, I'll slowly get my confidence back and not go rushing straight back into it all, it's shook me big time, I'm just glad I didn't hurt anyone else. It's been an experience I'll never forget, but I'll learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again

I've found that GCSE's only help you in your...
