Balls up

[Muddy Boots]

Time for a new thread where you air your cock ups to fellow TFFers. They may not grind your gears or make you laugh but be guaranteed someone will have a better one than you and you won't feel such a t#%t.
I'll start the ball rolling .
Turned out the first bunch of bullocks today with help of mrs MB who was pushed for time .
Result I turned out one of the bullocks off to market tomorrow.

fitting new doors in the house, I notched for the hinges and for some reason I didn't notice I hadn't turn one door over and notched the catch the same side as the hinges. Lucky I noticed before drilling the hole for the handle, so that door has three hinges and no one will ever know

Brother planed his doors down to fit but instead of the bottom took it of the top.

I had to drill wheat the other side of town a few years ago with my old trusty JD 8250 drill. Thought I'd fill her up before I left home but forgot to lock the seed coulters up.
Yes, they crept down and from the middle of town, all the way to the field, I was sowing Wheat all over the road.

Weaving drill - calibrated for rape , put whole bag in and drilled to nearly empty - for once it worked out fine. Then saw the calibration lever down so all the seed was in a narrow line every 5 metres - DOH

Day before yesterday (I think) made a mug of tea while mixing milk for Lambs. First mug I put sour milk in, went to the fridge to get another bottle, picked up the bottle of cow colostrum and poured that in!

Similar but filled a new Fendt tool carrier engine cranckase with diesel instead of tank.

Fives years ago ,landlord had a Merlo teleporter ,,the horsey lass down the village borrowed it.
It allways used abit of water so he told her to check it before she used it ,,big mistake as the transmission filler was close to the water fill .
She stuck the hosepipe in the wrong filler ,,,killed it

Stiring the slurry lagoon one year and trying to get a bit of persistent crust stuck stirrer in 1000rpm flat out. Bloody propeller flew off. Time to tank as fast as I could before it started to recrust got the level dropped down and then went fishing
