The most rubbish machine ever used

[Wellytrack]

So, after enduring what seemed like an eternity pushing up silage with a worn out fork recently, I caught myself speaking aloud "Well that's a rubbish implement".

Such a simple item, and such a terrible thing to use when it's not right.

It made me wonder, what is the worst ever piece of machinery ever used? It can be anything, outdoor clothing, hand-tools, right up to a recent machine.

Cousins interrow taty ridger ,three V shape rows of tines that were supposed to run between the ridges breaking down the clods and a set of bodies on the back to reshape ,useless design as all it did was bung up

Haybob

Surely by the no of haybobs sold yearly they can't be that useless

Taskers silage block cutter, put up with it for years until the sheargrab was invented/ sold. Come to think about it all the block cutters were bad!

Agreed. Anyone who thinks a Haybob is as bad as haymaking machinery gets has never suffered using an Acrobat.

Those that think Haybobs are rubbish should be made to go and turn hay with whatever preceded them. About every farm had one in the 1980's consigning the cock pheasant, Massey Harris turner and Lely acrobat to gap filling duties in the nearest hedge.
Wouldn't have been so many sold or so many copycats made to this day if they were that hopeless.

my only experience with a gaybob is baling tiny fields were they thought it good to only go roumd the hedge once bedore rowing the middle

I always add on 50p a bale if they row up with a hay bob, its always on a busy day too, lots on, and some old duffer has rowed 20a up with a haybob, probably john with his 1594

 

[bobk]

What people forget is it's a haybob not a silage bob.

Mountain Warehouse waterproof coat. Waterproof to 10000m (whatever that means) and guaranteed to be waterproof for 5 years.

They seem to have confused years with minutes or have never been outside while wearing one.
