To be fair, it worked a treat . Loading another bale with the clamshell was touch and go , but it was going to be fed anyway View attachment 971660

Get the bale standing up right then sit the bucket edge against the side of the bale, throw a sling from the top of the bucket around the top quarter of the bale, then just crowd back and let the sling hold the bale.
Was a video somewhere if a guy moving bales that way with something like an old zettlemyer loader and it was working a treat

Gravity Separator.
Just posh words for a bit of screen on a slope.
Just cleaning a bit of sandy subsoil into sand to go back around a septic tank.

Lethal looking, but you have to admire the engenuity. Guarding to be added later , if it hasn't shook itself apart after 5 acres trial run .

Nearly too embarrassed to post this, cousin was doing some mowing for me, rang to say the drive shaft has come off.

I took tools I thought I'd need, (big hammer) the balls where still there but the washer and spring that hold them in place were wonky, only thing I had in pickup was a cow bandage so I wrapped it up to keep the ball retainer and balls in the right place, 12 hrs later its still there!

Just got make sure you wrap it right way!

I think in this case I will let the fact it's a new badage slip. up

I've tried reusing them but the puss stops them sticking

Ive been contemplating buying a little pruning saw to stay in the pickup for those branches that are going to have someones mirror off, etc but I had a lucky find after the electricity board chaps had been to deal with a tree on the wires.

What size mesh is that @Nearly ? I've a small sugar beet bucket I use on our loader that does similar, but it's a bit sore on the crowd rams lumping it back and forth.

50mm centres. Thick wires so 40mm hole.
It needs to be a very fine, dry subsoil.
Screened about 8t to go back around the tank.

You have most probably paid for that saw through electric bills.

No picture and almost started a new thread for workshop hints and tricks but thought it wasn’t really worthy but a little trick I got shown years ago to pick something up that’s been dropped somewhere your hand can’t get and isn’t magnetic.

Get a good long cable tie or similar and put a blob of sticky grease or even better some silicon on the end and fish out your small dropped item

Not my own, but rather inspiring.

I pressed the wrong button on the baler , so it tied the net too early I could have carried on baling untilll the bale was the right size to come out with gravity, but no - I opened the door So said part bale was well and truly stuck . So Adapt , improvise, overcome

If anyone has a need for a road pin bent like a banana, I have two available

2 plastic spacers made for drum mower , to keep him off the deck a bit.

its cut out of that slab of really tough 12mm thick plastic that the DNO use for laying in electric cable trenches bit above the cable as a warning for future 'diggers uppers'

no, used a cheap adjustable hole cutter on a cordless drill bit clumsy but proved to be to be accurate internal / external diameter and hole positioning .
