Reliving the Glory Days

[Derrick Hughes]

They say a candle burns bright before it flickers out lol
But i realy am having the time of my life
Finding all this 50 B Digger Stuff hiding in the back of farmers yards and putting it to good use, on my patch of evil clay as my mate calls it.

Those realy were the Glory days of farming , when the local Contractor was spreading lime most of his working days ,paid for by government subs to keep the home nation supplied with food
God the Weather is Evil atm mind
We all need something to keep us going as things are

Trouble is like the equipment grants now if they started paying directly for lime/ drainage etc the prices of these things would go up overnight by the same amount as the grant payment to farmers!

All grants for equipment/ machinery/ lime/ drainage etc do is keep the supply chain in jobs.

if your clay is that evil you will need a clay spade ( bucket with out any sides) as you will never be able to empty that bucket

I have a clay spade to fit a 50B never seen another one.
Its for sale as I think I know where it is

got a lovely ditching bucket to fit a 50B, one with the pins set in the bucket so they don't hit the bank as it rotates.

several other buckets around here as well can't remember what though, had loads and only one went with the digger, couple of two foot's and a foot one that's also short that I use for taking out post holes, did have a very nice trenching bucket that didn't seem to choke in clay if I was careful but I couldn't work out why, not sure if that is still here or not, had another one that would choke just like that.
