Leaking kitchen mixer tap, which has been causing a bit of grief for a few weeks. Quick agricultural fix with a castration ring (which was probably found in the washing machine at lambing time) View attachment 923161

Hope you washed those pliers beforehand

Picked up a apple harvester today and link arm staberliser was too short to stop the machine rubbing the tyre so some farmers friend and a spanner came to the rescue! Drove about 20mile like this.

Turn those gates into a wind turbine then.
Turbine powers the welder which makes more turbines which power more welders. And so on

Call your electricity empire Npower so you dont have to respond to customers complaints

Npower soon to E.ON, no doubt still be just as crap though.

Yamaha Wr450 gel battery is good for 60 cows tails before it goes flat!

I’ve just thought of a new YouTube channel: “Will it tek screw?”

Tek screws are the most used item on my farm, even used 4 inch ones today as btackets to put the kids bikes up out of the way

I present the "Sow Plough" which I copied from a neighbour.

Designed to make weaning easier when we gather up rows of up to 18 individual paddocks of sows at a time.

Pinched the idea from somewhere : After looking out for a mini scraper tractor for a while, the money being asked for was rich for what was on offer, managed to pick this up off an online disposal auction and used the rubber from our snow plough that we replaced a few years ago (I knew I'd kept it for a reason!) Picking the machine up from its previous loving home and seeing the look on the guys face when I explained what we were going to use it for !. First day in the shed with it today, might need to put a bit of weight behind the scraper for a bit more downforce but otherwise very happy with it.

Be interested to know how the running gear copes with slurry!

so you didn't fancy changing the blades on the deck for paddles, for more of a sweeping action. Pictures if you do, or better a video

Come home from the hospital in the afternoon from our new baby being born 2am, to feed up quickly before heading back. Straight away hydraulic hose blows on the teleyhandler leaving her stranded in the barn blocking our loader tractor. Thankfully spare bale spike shoved through the digger knuckle on the bucket works brilliantly! I might actually have to make up a proper attachmen, makes loading a breeze.
