Not a regular contributor to this thread so may be wrong but bolt looks suspiciously new to me.

It won't stay new for long if he puts much weight on it.

Had the thread rip out of the bottom part (fork) years ago dropping plough onto a speedbump of all things!! Very very quick run around with the welder to get moving and it lasted few years till eventually we spotted a few cracks developing in the welds!!!

I personally don't have a problem with new, but others would suggest a new bolt belongs on the Not Quite Farm Engineering or a Quick Bodge thread.

It's a bodge in my book, this thread has got a bit snooty about new stuff IMO, I know it is said in jest but it does put some off.

It is, I do not have many old bolts etc just yet. Give me a bit of time with all this old equipment repairs and that one will be old

It will hopefully not be in there long enough to shear it off. It was done to get me out of a hole only

The one we first seen was a lot more elaborate...had castor wheels that you could actually move it tractor with the rear wheels removed if needed

Think that’s the TrakJak from Ireland.

Been around a few years. As said idea first pioneered by Harry Ferguson about 60 years ago.

Stop my fingers getting sore! Bale hooks! I had a 800 to hand stack in a shed worked really well....old tines bit of heat and hammer bit of old tube from wishbone of workmax bit of tape to stop them slipping was only new thing used well pleased

One from the other day : did a bit of R&D / prototyping for AGCO

Ones no good only works as a pair made 2 pairs as there’s always an extra pair of hand when stacking

just needs some more genius to make for the filling up again

10 litre adblue cans come with a blue flex filler tube.

Tube has about a 16mm diameter end that fits into gear oil holes easily. Means you can use a filler jug fitted with the adblue filler tube salvaged from the bonfire...I mean recycle pile

Weaned and dosed some lambs this evening after it cooled down and the barstewards shat down my boots twice in the first race full
so before i went back in for round 2 against the vicious wild wooly barstewards i found a fertiliizer bag that had blown behind the shed and been missed for recycling. Introduced it to a penknife and made these gater things to go round my legs covering the top of my boots. Just a longish strip tied round my ankles. It worked no more shitty feet had to throw my socks though and boots might be thrown after inspection in daylight

Your legs look like the werewolves in dodgy old horror films . Clumps of hair everywhere

yes the little clear plastic protective cover for the phone camera lens cracked so i just pulled it off now all my pictures come out like that and i cant wipe it clean the lens is probably knackered by now.
I need to come up with a bodge to fix that somehow
