Hill man ,if you look closely at the Kane trailers the shoes are removed as you cannot turn short enough as Siku tractor arms catch. Have done that with ours. Have just ordered another fendt with he new style loader with parallel lift Remote control. , How old are your lads. , we still carpet farm have a full room of them and 8 shelves full and keep adding.

Six in June so still putting in tenders for farms and kit !!

Update:

2016: Boxing Day is the real Christmas Day this year

Freddie was so excited

Stocking retrieved from his room.

Ultra proud Dad moment. F's 5 and a half but he still insisted on giving me MY present FIRST , ably hidden by the secret Christmas tree light switch. At such a tender age it really warms my heart that he is already such a caring human being and this act of unprompted kindness came so naturally to him.

Tattoos already.
I know . I picked him up from his Mum's at 9am this morning and he'd been with his Cousin (teenage girl), who'd lacquered and glittered his nails and put some tattoos on him :rolleyes::eek:

I think his Mum needed rescuing as he'd woken Christmas morning at 1.30, 2am, 3am and 550am asking if it was Christmas yet :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

That is one lucky little chap. Hand made extras by Granddad make it super special.
Brings back memories of many happy hours spent carpet farming with my lad. Don't miss dissecting the hoover bag to rescue stray piglets though!

Our little one always had to be hauled out of bed to take Christmas dinner! I thought there was something wrong with him, but now, 20 years later, he can do early shift with no problem.
