    Digger track issue.

    One of the tracks on the digger constantly goes down. Had a new seal put in it when tracks and sprockets were renewed but still goes down. Finally lost the track off completely so took it apart and the ram is patchy with rust. Will this be why it's losing grease rather than the seal?

    'There's no money in it'

    Seems to be a common term on nearly every subject, be it sheep, sucklers, dairy, most types of contracting, arable etc etc etc, by quite a lot of people. So how/why are you still in the agricultural industry if no one is making money? And this was before the whole covid 19 job so I'm not even...

The problem I've got is I've a bill for roughly 3k for repairs but these repairs were never finished or even fixed the problem it initially went in to have fixed.

    To cut or wait?

    Got a customer wanting to cut some grass this week and while it is probably long enough and ready to cut its not really forecasting much heat this week. Dry with cloud and sunny spells and blowy but only 9c tops (frost possible a couple night). I was trying to persuade him. To wait and...

    Gypsum mixed with muck (pig).

    Ok, so not really sure what to write here fully but yesterday and this morning I was loading pig muck (fym not slurry) that had been mixed and heaped over winter/spring/summer.
