[QUOTE="Feldspar, post: 3515758, member: 386"] Well that was a rubbish day. Went to physio. Saw neighbour spreading. Social proof the ultimate indicator. Tore off home and consulted weather. Concluded this evening was last opportunity for quite some time. Rang agronomist. Recommended getting on with winter barley. Went off and put spreader on after swearing at over-tightened bolts on PTO shaft (rescued by impact wrench). Watched wind bend trees over. Decided to scare pigeons for a while. Noticed neighbour out drilling (WTF?!). Turned out he was patching in drill blockages in wheat. Still looked OK. Further social proof. Tanked up tractor. Checked tyre pressures (8 psi as low as they would go). Started just as it was getting dark. Rather wetter than expected. Finished field with still 20ac in hopper. Next field even wetter than the last. Aborted and drove around countryside looking for another drier field. Couldn't see tramlines in one candidate. Aborted again and went to another farm. Started spreading. Only slightly drier than newly revised expectations of wetness. Irate father on phone complaining about failure to heed advice re ground conditions. Carried on. Finished hopper only to realise aperture set on wrong setting due to misreading spreading book. Lots of swearing. Threw book out of window. Spread field a second time to get rate right. Made even more mess of the tramlines. More swearing. Still some left in hopper. Spread in another field (probably a neighbour's - beyond caring at this point). Went home only to tread in sick left by dog. More swearing. Went outside to lawn to wipe sick off shoe. Trod in muck left by dog. Swore at dog. Decided never to go spreading again. [/QUOTE]
