What do you use sand for. Is it your beach / free.1056 getting a work out carting sand of the beach[emoji7][emoji41]some song off her! Steep ramp at the far end it's a fair pull!
That's shell sand and being used on the land instead of lime. Further up the beach the sand if finer and can/ is used for building.
That's my uncles beach

A galvanised bucket is a lot better than a shovel for that job. Loops on the handle need to be on the inside or taped up so they don't catch on the bag.
Of course a loader tractor is better still.

@Kidds - ha - yes, I've tried various things but the shovel I used is a big wide plasticy thing like people might use for clearing snow. I have enough experience of catching the shovel on the bag loops to have learnt to keep them out the way! That's a sure-fire way to turn the air blue
I was loading grain into the drill today by shovel, and was just thinking about how a loader tractor would be handy.

Sowed some spring rye today, as a bit of an experiment. We need some rain down here, it's been a dry month or so. If anyone out there is on the Kent / Sussex border, please can you organise a cricket match / tennis / morris dancing / wedding or any other British rain dance where people stand around outside dressed in white?
No? Works fine Just dig it out higher up where it's finer

My 1971 Ford 3000 does a fair bit of work in the Summer. Mainly topping and muck spreading. I bought it 10 years ago, just after someone had restored it. Looks a bit shabby now but I've had very few problems and it's still going strong. My young helper is driving in both photos. He started when he was 13. Loves it!

Had a few new looking bits on it when I got it. It's ex highways. Painted blue over yellow. I don't think it had any engine work because the filters even had blue paint on them.Incorrect front grill....
