Today at work

Assault course training underway at mine. Next candidate lined up ready.

Ah alright. Mine are not caught in time exactly, some tines are hanging onto the last bit of iron. I ment to do it last winter but I really didn't feel like it. Now also replacing the left skid and all knifeholders.
I bought it because it had a nearly new cutterbar but everything else is a bit tired.
I do 100 hectare a year max so it should serve me for some years to come.

Another thing to watch is the centre skids, they wear at the front then when they snap they bend the bit where they mount & you can't fit new ones...this is on trailed machines, mounted may be different being lighter may not damage themselves the same.

Nipping over a field we have just taken on with our Phoenix rotary Harrow , The field is coming OSR but the combine that cut it didn’t have a chaff spreader and has left some pretty awful trails . The Harrow is just spreading them out and scratching the top nicely .

If you own a KV plough it will break at some time, yet people still buy them, why?

My son has bought A Kuhn 152 plough this year we are sick of welding the two KV's we had he sold the oldest one of the pair.

Not complaining though should get the spring barley wrapped up tomorrow or tues now

What could be better than a bit of Sunday afternoon fencing on my own with T gripples and a quickfencer?

Not very pretty on the eye but with chestnut stakes it will look worse in another year or so as they bend everywhere, not a problem as long as it is stock proof.

Taking some straw home. Had to buy some from arable area this year. 3 and a half hour round trip. Including loading and unloading.

It's camera affect. Makes straw look black! Should have got picture without popped string pile! Straw was really dry, had a few burst completely out back of baler. Had fun shaking them out.

I’ve had it for 7-8 years , we brought it when we were DD everything after finding conventional straw harrows we’re not moving enough . The pitch is adjustable so it can be made more or less aggressive . There are some good videos of them working on YouTube but all in the states where they are very popular . This one was imported by record .

Took camera with me tonight while I was walking wolf and took some photos of the neighbour
