This afternoon trying to get a dozy newborn to sook

Went for a romantic walk tonight to see how the seeds were looking

though this was interesting, Left is from the shade of a wood and right is from the middle of the field.

Taken a load of grain to the mill tested at home 15% to have it rejected after unloading a ton claimed its was 21.5%.

View attachment 703532 View attachment 703536 View attachment 703540 I got radical today and housed my cattle .
Plan is to give the grass or what should be grass, a proper break . It actually rained today, so put some fertiliser on, and hopefully they will go back out soon to a decent bite.
Been feeding them out inring feeders, but they seem to scuff up all the grass around them and mess up the field , despite many moves. I also get the wheels on the manitou covered in muck, just when I need to load wheat. See what happens!

Are they all blue x?

What ever you have been doing they are good looking cattle

Thanks, yes 70 blue heifers, all 12/13 months old. Could do with selling some. would make nice sucklers.

Last week cutting spring barley.

Decided to replace silencer on combine, ended up fixing it like this for now after the exhaust pipe arrived damaged. Reordered and another arrived damaged in the same way

Repaired the welger baler, got put back on before i got anymore pictures

Wet day so changed the hydraulic pump belt on combine, think it was probably overdue

Bearing on top roller packed in this week, the one the back door hinges on [emoji37] grease pipe had rubbed through on the chain, who knows when it last got grease!

All sorted

(When a new sprocket costs over £400)

Did you cut the sprocket to get it off? Those wedge keys are buggers to get out.
We use a a piece of big pipe as a drift and sledge hammer to punch spocket further onto shaft can then get key out and pull sprocket off.

Over winter that sprocket would take a solid collar on the outer boss diameter (machine it parallel), sweat it on. never shift.

Never is long time
Will the new bearing last that long

Yup, tried everything, wasn’t budging. When the key eventually came out, it was fairly corroded at the other end of it, doubt we’d have got it out without cutting it tbh. No fears for the sprocket tho, it’s pretty heavy.
