Might be an idea for a decent thread as different folk like different things.

2 photos, one good, one bad for whatever reason, it's more about the reason than the quality of the pic.

I'll start with the worst, self explanatory really.
First time I've went over & hopefully the last, happened in an instant, can recommend the no tools in cab thread.

And one of the favourites, baling a bit of haylage at the end of a busy day.

I will be that person ...... how ?
That double lifter if dirt from the wheels gets under the cradle the tipping mechanisim doesn't close properly, closes enough to work as had stacked 20 odd bales but the latch kinda sits on a knife edge ( yeah I know all this now ). So reversing across a field with 2 bales on a slight hill, hit a bump & the lifter let go on the high side, bale tips & has nowhere to go but under the lifter, lifter holds it there so the wheel has to climb it, once it goes up the bale on the other side helps her go over....all in about 2 seconds.

Worst picture - actually many worse things happened but I didn't have the stomach or time to take that picture.

Winching a dead sow out of a feeder on my own on New Years morning.

On the other hand, checking the sheep back in October, I turned round and took a picture from the field edge.

Farming is not all that bad on average.
