I'll have you know spinney my old bewty that I'm very very cautious about where I spread my seeds!!!!!!!!
I'd have a good blow off before moving farms .......I don't know what you think of me but professional is my middle name!!!!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Ps when buying by the bale my bales would offer far better value for a peasent sheeperer that the cotton wool balls from a farm hand, also a McHale bale is wider too so even more product for your money!!!!!

i actually had a pm from a 'tffer' on new years day thanking me for posting a pic of a machine that they subsequently bought and were delighted with ;)

i can spot a bargain.....to someone doing 300 bales a year of hay/straw she'd pay for herself every year;)
I think I'd rather have my scrotum shaved With a beet hook by a blind person with a nervous twitch and sniffing pepper While riding a rollacoaster than I would try and do 300 bales with a farmhand.......dad had one once and he said it was so useless it wouldn't even go long enough to catch fire!!!!!!!

do not ask :rolleyes: ......allegedly she's a bodybuilder i'm 'shacked up with' ...oh and i'm a 'chrystel meth' chemist.......some of my 'diary' readers have vivid imaginations:rolleyes:

as for my 'masochism' i ran a vermeer for 9 years....in 2016 i snapped a stub axle while baling some hay.....got back to it coupla months later...fixed it....but in meantime some sheep had been turned in and rubbed the electric contacts off the tieing arm....i bodged a manual tieing mechanism but it meant getting off the tractor every bale.....i did circa 200 yr until this yearl i bought another baler:bag:
