Not mine but a lad who used to work here, he was muck spreading in one of our fields that backs onto houses, he turned round at the hedge and forgot to turn the spreader off... The shiny new range rover sat in that driveway wasn't very shiny anymore

Do I know him ? [emoji6]Not mine but a lad who used to work here, he was muck spreading in one of our fields that backs onto houses, he turned round at the hedge and forgot to turn the spreader off... The shiny new range rover sat in that driveway wasn't very shiny anymore
You might have heard of him (or heard him being shouted at[emoji23]) at the time[emoji1] it was about 12? years ago

Hitched up the fertiliser spreader last week, and laid the hydraulic pipes over the top of the tractor linkage to go round to the workshop. Lifted up, and the arms cut straight through one of the pipes!
Tractor off, pipe replaced, tractor back on, (making sure pipes were routed safely!), pto shaft refitted, quick run up to make sure everything works, and the pto chain I'd not clipped on yet spun round, grabbed a wire, and proceeded to wrap most of the spreaders wiring loom round and in the slip clutch!

Bought 6 new ventilated ridge caps to finish a cattle shed. Lifted the pallet off the lorry and put it down at the side of the yard to put away later. Before I got round to putting it away I backed the jcb over them .
£200 gone.

@YorkshireAndrew you definitely know of this one [emoji23]
Man who helps out when he feels like it, drove through a gateway a couple of years ago with both doors of the JD open (the air con is knackered) and smashed them, then last year went hedge cutting with the same tractor and left the door open and a flying branch smashed it again [emoji23]

My mate had a mini 850 and his pride and joy , his mother went to fill rad with water , as he'd warned her about checking it!
So she proceeded to fill the rocker cover up to the top !!
A few yrs ago , I was sowing grass seed at 13 kgs to the acre with the Einboch . The next day I had to sow a field of stubble turnips ,at 1.3 kgs to the acre . Cue mind checking with kitchen scales and needing 13 grammes to a hundredth of an acre , radio on ,Planet Rock ,spinning it out ,and rechecking , then all seed in hopper and away around the headland , got 3 quarters way round and lifted lid to have a look , and immediately slammed it back down because there was only a double handful left in the bottom !!!
What a crop around the outside !! It was that thick it choked itself to death
Stupid bugger
As a 19 yr old , I had to clean out a length of cows at home with the wheelbarrow and shovel . Being strong in the arm and thick in the head I always wanted a load and a half of sh!t!
Was in the end of the sh!t channel where the concrete was like glass .
Bent over to lift the handles and heaved into it like Precious Mc Kenzie .
Cue welllies going straight back away from me and my head going straight into a barrow of shyte and pish , and up to shoulders

I did!
I didn't bother rewiring until the following afternoon!
Luckily I've bypassed most of the features on the spreader, but trying to untangle everything and figure out the wires I needed was a challenge!

Turning hay one hot summer's day (this was a while ago !) I tied the door on the 574 back to the loader arm. Having a tight turn by the hedge I had to raise the loader to turn and wondered why the door then fell off.
Many years ago when a student I was doing the milking and the under cowman came into the parlour (we had both started work on the estate at the same time and were best of pals) and his wife had put him on the F-plan diet. Well he was getting desperate in the toilet department and at 4am in the depths of winter he didn't want to wake the cowman by using the toilet in the house so I told him to go in the deep litter yard, scrape some of the straw back from the wall and drop it there.
He came back in about 10 minutes later with a very pained expression and I knew exactly what he'd done. He had pulled his boiler suit down, squatted then wriggled back into his overalls............. he hadn't pulled the loose overalls in front of him when he squatted

Years ago I dropped a silage trailer off in our yard for a neighbour to borrow, jumped in the car to pick up the kids from school and backed straight into the trailer crumpling the back wing. About an hour later a friend phoned for help with a calving. On the way down a narrow winding lane and right on a blind bend some plank had parked a big bale trailer half in the gateway annd half out in the road. I braked sharply but skidded into the back of the trailer stoving my front wing in. On the way home I managed to get a puncture and had to abandon the car and walk home. When I went to collect it the next day it had gone, traced it to our local scrapyard where it had been towed - they thought it had been dumped. Retrieved it just in time and a friend worked miracles on it and returned it good as new.
I still have the car over 20 years later and I have never before or since hit anything- just two trailers in one day.

When I was 12 dad and brother had just finished putting new cast iron points/shares on our fergie plough. Dad said go and let it down. Dropped the linkage too quick and 3 cracked points!
