Another 50 acre in , pre em , now Averdexing . Got wide boots on the little Massey , the mad welder is cutting some wheel adapters , so we can put 800,s on back from a trailer fert spreader instead of 16,9 on back so she will travel lighter still , could do with 24 m spreader

Sat waiting for a lorry which has been 12 miles away for the last hour now. Then need to drive the loader an hour on the road to get home to fill up three 20kg bags of oats to finish off the field I ran out of seed on the headland, to then drive the drill half an hour home to fill up with wheat and then drive the drill half an hour back again to try and drill a field.

Been for a wander and considering how much rain we have had I cannot believe how dry it is. The odd bit of standing water but if we got a week of this weather it would all go. Shame it's going to rain Thursday

Haha you are always saying how dry you are :)

You may currently be confusing me with another poster on here, Wombat - possibly someone posting from a PE code (somewhere near Peterborough?).

If not, I can only apologise unreservedly for having managed completely to deceive you and the entire forum, all these years.

:D:D
