I'm sure far more people die whilst crossing the road.
Or driving cars...

You're far safer on a quad than a defender going somewhere it shouldn't.
I would just go out and buy one, that's what I used to do. he soon came round when he saw how useful something was.Yeh been there......got the wrote off t-shirt
Hence alot more walking now

Haha! The old man doesn't go anywhere to need go cross a road

Not many adults that can't drive these days. I have an aunt who had some sort of lazy eye as a teenager and she never bothered to learn either. She couldn't go anywhere without someone to drive her. Once she got to a certain age she was too scared to learn to drive and that was it.He doesn't anymore, I've been doing it the last 15 yrs
Prior to that it was either tractor and trailer or haulier.
Local market is 8 miles away.
It's silly really but he's just always had someone to drive him around or used the tractor!
Been taken to school in the link box many a time

He's miby glad after the state you got a land rover into, after thinking it was a delorean and launching it
I don't blame him. If he's got away with it until now why bother?He's 77 so I doubt he's going to bother now
Just do what my cousin did, went to the mart with a load of sheep he was fed up of the old quads that my uncle had...he went and bought a brand new quad, put it on my uncles account and took it home in the floatWhen he got back my uncle saw it ''Who's is that??'' ehh your ''what?? I haven't bought one'' ehhh yeah you haveI want one though
To be fair though I can get the Landy nearly everywhere I want too, if it's too wet to drive the fields I walk.
Stock every where at the mo is fairly near to a road or lane.
Even the moor has a good road through the middle then hard tracks all over the place over the top, access down the combes and cliffs is on foot, could get a quad down there though.
Do like cruising round with the radio on.....and the heater going
Not sure what you mean? Could you post a photo, please?Not bought, but an auto cluster wire that links to the float, is the best and easiest thing for a lamb with a head back, so much easier than bought ropes/ wires, even a big swollen head in a tight ewe lamb makes a 5/10 minute job into 10 second job, perfect thickness and rigidity
Will do when partner has time to do it as im useless at posting photos. But it replaces those thin ropes to put over legs and behind head for lambs with leg or head back. Nothing dramatic, but as used to lamb a lot of ewe lambs that were on the tight side, now just lamb 500, we always have swollen heads in some sort of numbers, those ropes work fine but just take more time, at 2 am when have to go see a cow calving or pen 20 freshly lambed ewe lambs those 5 mins saved are a god send, its just a black thick wire, probably 3mm diameter, nothing flash at all, just it simply is the perfect thickness to use and so much easier to slip over head than rope
