This is what happens when you overdo the wildebeest.
Impressive kit Pete!My lad makes me smile. 16 and keen as mustard. I had 100t to go on a 48 acre field today. Wind was forecast strong after mid morning so he’s up with me at 5.30 and we get two spreaders rolling to beat Mother Nature. He loads and bombs across the field with alternate spreaders while I spread. We got the 100t done in 1 hour 35 minutes.

T’was a bit sticky round the heap. Heavy rain in the night meant all the water off the lane went straight in the gate and round the heap. The field is going into wheat so no harm done.

He spread the last 30t.
You certainly wouldn't take long doing my spread that's for sure!Thank you.
As the years go by it gets more and more “all or nothing” with this job.
20 years ago it was maybe 40% spring and 60% autumn. Now it seems autumn is at least 80% so you’ve got to have stupid kit to go flat out for a few weeks.
Why do you swop , you could load your own loads and spread ?It’s not often we spread 100t in an hour and a half!
There are plenty of days it can take all day to do 100t !!

Impressive lad as well as impressive kit! My hat's off to the lad.My lad makes me smile. 16 and keen as mustard. I had 100t to go on a 48 acre field today.

Piglet would think so. Clearly a heffable horralump.We've had friends staying for the first time since lockdown, their little girl was in the kitchen with mine when I came in to announce that I'd a bulling heifer up in the yard and had to call the AI man.
Our guests' little girl shot round and stared at me open-mouthed, before asking in a sort-of-scared sort-of-fascinated way 'There's a heffalump in your yard?'
I'm minded those Charlie Brown cartoons in which adults all sound like 'Wah wah wah wha', except for interesting words, are probably based on fact. Does this little beauty really look like a heiferlump?
