3 legged milking stool, cowshed tie up chains with rings which would slide up and down a pole.
Did you have a great big wheelbarrow for cleaning out ? I haven’t seen one of these for a long time we used to have competitions to see who could clean out in the least amount of loads . I think our last one was SKH it was orange anyway

I have a pair but mine have commando soles 😂 i like them for tractor driving 😂 made in maybol real deal 😂
Made in Maybole? What's the company? Going to guess they've stopped now. I'd be looking at buying a pair of iron rangers before long but if theres the option of scottish made instead...
Pipe smokers

We had a dairy farm down the end of an unmade road, we lived on the corner, dairy farm long gone, he used to grow a few hundred acres of wheat/barley, all harvested by an old boy, driving a m135 clayson newholldand vintage 1966, with a 10ft cut, so he could drive the combine without taking the header off, the farmer had 2 old ex 10ton grain merchant lorries that used to come out hibination for the harvest period and cart the corn from field to store at about 20mph on the small stretch of public highway? Great days, straw then was either baled by the ford7600/7000 in small bales or burnt?

No we didn't have one of those, but we did have a SKH land drive muck spreader. It didn't stay orange for long! SKH stood for Salopian Kenneth Hudson.
