Where are you on holiday?

12 inches? What requires that amount of insulation?

JD tractors..... they are terrible energy inefficient

I see they have developed one to cope with water, must be after the one featured in the wreckers thread!

Got a phonecall last night "THIS TRACTOR IS GOING MAD & IT WON'T SLOW DOWN!, come & have a look" I was in the next field so went over imagining all sorts, soon as I got in noticed no resistance on the pedal, spring must be broke so not so bad in the end, was able to keep going to get the job done.

Came up with a bodge this morning...

Fully adjustable for sensitivity & spring strength....by moving hose clip or tying knots in bungee cord works quite well too.

Told him it might stay like that till Christmas, could all happen too

I know the feeling! One summer morning I parked my tractor ( Renault) by the diesel tank filled her up, then put my foot on the clutch to engage reverse and the pedal literally fell away from my foot. "Oh brilliant" I thought "60 acres of hay to bale and the bloody clutch has gone!" I switched off the engine and crawled underneath only to find the end of the return spring had broken off! What a relief. 5 minute job with a pair of mole grips and a vice to make a new loop on the end of the spring and I was up and running again.

We are between Bridgewater and minehead, village called kilve
Today we went to that zoo thing in the old BBC transmitter building, not that exciting really

It is a superb bit of work. But before you start, you realise you will have about 500 orders from TFF alone! It will be a full time job.

That would please Mrs G, unfortunately I have to work off farm but she is always coming up with schemes for me to be able to work at home.

 

[Mursal]

Well worth giving it a go, as and when you can ........
She could do sales/inquiries when you're not about.
Nothing to loose .........

Dont worry she's well into selling anything!
Just have to decide what they are worth.........

Get yourself up on to the moor, go for a walk up dunkery beacon, bite to eat at the rest and be thankful, Then a drive over the moor to Tarr Steps. Better value than Tropicaria.
If your needing a farm fix give me a shout and pop up for a coffee, .

Ha I'm not allowed near any farms ! Mandy has already been picking her brains out wondering who or what farm I was going to visit when I suggested coming here on holiday

I would pay about 60 quid

 

[Err0l]

I would pay about 60 quid

If you buy a sign I know they are a lot more expensive than that. I was shocked

 

[TripleSix]

Knocked up a chainsaw holder today for the major to keep that 550XP safe.

Just the usual bit of wood with a hole plunge cut by the saw.

 

[Tim G]

Yes, so would I.
Which is probably why I ended up making my own.
