Fencing through the ages. Did most of the farm with Mell, pinch & spade in my 20`s Probably why I`m buggered now.
Managed not to kill anyone with the Thomas magic wand.
Just arrived -This Protech on the telehandler just loves braying in strainers. These young uns just don`t know they are born

That Thomas driver is lethal, neighbours had one , to be safe you stood in the next field!
Your farm yard wall and buildings are a credit to you, craftsmanship of the highest order.

Thanks for the complement.
We are fortunate that the 19th century steading was very well built. With the addition of big doorways in the gable ends they still have mulitple uses in the 21st century.
Just reslated an 80ft x 20ft stone building put up about 1850. Cost us £2k 40 years ago to put a door in the end & concrete the floor then £7k to reslate it this year. Suspect the maintenace on a modern building will be more than that over 170 years

This is the drone pic

Is that a KKK on steroids?!

It’s a bit more like a pigtail drag with really good depth control . I’m hoping to to use it behind the combine to create a very shallow stale seed bed but also be able to cultivate Some stubbles a bit deeper where we intend to drill with our combi drills . I may be wrong but I think it will be a quite versatile bit of kit .

Was it made by Dooley by any chance?

No flies on you.

I can’t put my finger on what it was that gave it away but there is just a certain something about it

Can you give us an idea of the price?

 

[Pringles]

@DGreen Does that float not have a roof, or is it clear sheeting of some sort?

 

[DGreen]

No requirement to be covered over here [R O I] yet !

As we have sold our plough, we no longer need the weight so traded our 924

in for a 516. At least 2 tonnes of tractor less to compact the soil, less fuel to pull itself around, 3 years younger, next spec level up.

We appreciate the excellent, friendly service from Richard Pykett.

How long did you have the previous tractor? Think you were miss sold

We had it nearly 4 years, had a good deal when we got it, so very happy with the trade in. Sensible level of depreciation on the 924
