New farm, the journey begins!

seems cheap enough. From personal experience either a longer tongue or wheelbase makes for a smoother job.
If lasering or dealing with large humps and rises yes, I’ve spent a lot of hours leveling from hillls to flats to drains you name it.

I’m only skimming paddocks that are flat already.

it will cut down hours and servicing on new tractor so feel for 12k it’s worth it,

I had a look at one in the flesh couple months ago, it’s decent.

wet up there??

This is the guy who owned our most recent farm purchase.

do you need to shear them or crutch?

I’m looking for a base flock or herd and it needs to be easy as I work so I would like 200 ewes and then buy in store cattle when needed, or I go 50 cows and buy in lambs, work wise cattle easier but looking after black dirt in winter and pasture much easier with ewes so I would grow more feed overall, so I’m leaning to 200/250 ewes.

atm the joint Carrie’s 70 cows and calves 2 bulls and my pets with ease stuff all fert and crap pasture, all which will be improved and ferted

I’m looking at going into dustless blasting and painting, I love painting, so been doing a lot of research on this as we have no one in our area.

im in Abu Dhabi having a snack at Etihad lounge…

Will go John Deere factory tomorrow on way to spa, can only get in at show room no tours running.
My beloved 3350 is from Mannheim, be kinda weird to be at the same place it was built all those years ago.

Warm weather is nice but 26 feels like 26 when home is 10 some days lately.

corn looks good in Germany, it still spins me out they use this for power and call it green but I’m only a peasant to argue lol.

first tractor I seen in Germany just near Munich airport, fendt 516.

good shopping in centre of stuttgart, so so as far as being nice old town area.

If you like WW2 and that kind of stuff, plenty to see in Belgium.

Liege is a very historic city. Fort Eben-Emael is nearby if you want a wonder.
 
The Spa track is epic the eau rogue hill is steep!! Crazy

17 degrees, no rain, hope it rains in qualifying, mix it up.

Having a Belgium breakfast…beer, everyone’s on the gas early so I may as well join em!

Went there about 20 years ago. Cracking circuit but felt a bit short changed on laps for F1 (44?) compared to some. Where’s your seat? I was in Pouhon which is just down from your last few pictures I think. Was a chap with a Cherry Picker getting a great view from the public road outside around the top hairpin too.

I am in grandstand at end of straight and pit lane entry, I’ll watch some practice 2 at other side as I’m parked at coombes end.

it’s a cracking track, catering great, signage etc.

A lot of money spent here.
