The straw season was drawn out with the weather,

At one point I was without a loader so I decided to use the spare spikes to mover 4 at a time which saved me a lot of time in the field

It's very rare that I would 'big myself up' but when a team of 12+ men from cadent were needing to do major gas line work in one of the fields needed assistance in moving equipment to the location I was there to help, not only did I assist in moving their equipment but when their compressor and generator failed to work I went out of my way to get them a compressor and a generator at extremely short notice with benefit to the individual hiring the equipment out but ensuring that Cadent didn't have a team of men stood around unable to get the job done. They were able to get the job completed on time and I received many thanks from the lads and the supervisor which quite frankly meant a lot.

My Hilux is one of the best assets I have purchased, without that a multi million pound business would have been severely delayed in getting a major job done,

Great idea for lifting the front off the combine
They have the mounts on from the factory - its easier to get it back on the combine with either a hydraulic top link or switch the tractor front suspension off.

Great pics Jordan - spannering and loading for the Spud King of Cheshire?

A few months ago I got hold of a trailer/generator chassis and for a while I wasn't sure what to do with it.
To start with a put a portable fuel cube on it but then I came up with the idea of a utility trailer, basically a way to double the capacity of the pickup with lockable storage and heavy duty axles for taking dense quantities of weight
A little extra paining required and fitting of shelving and a compressor in the box but its not far away
