Yes, it’s a special blend of everything that gets tipped in my waist oil tank
Something like this but a lot older.
I can bottle you some 15w PP for a small fee if you like
Last time I saw a set of disc like those ,,I was 15 yrs old and bouncing around on a 270 leylandWorking down some more ground
Has anyone much experience with some kind of multi Harrow such as the cousins ones, only need a 3 meter one . Think they would be a good tool for working ground down for reseeds .
Last time I tried to use a set of discs like that, I couldn't get the hook ends of the link arms to fit around the balls, as the frame of the discs got in the way
The shuttering is for the screed board ,,set it up at the required finished level and then pull a length of 4x2 with a 60mm rebate cut in both ends ,that way you get a perfect level right through ,,I do it in sections as its much easier on my own ,plus I can lay a section and then have somewhere to stand further deliveries,,method in madness .https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/today-at-work.5275/page-4656#post-5511656
Looks good. Having never done anything like this before, I have a few questions (excuse the ignorance)-
1. In the 3rd photo you have shuttering to divide the area up, why? Can you you not level the whole area as one?
2. What is the black stone material? Is it some sort of refined hardcore or type of sand?
3. I assume that there is a slight slope on the whole area, or does water drain around the bricks. If there is a slope, how do you do this to get it level (at least in one direction) and have a consistent slope?
4. in the 4th photo you appear to have a frame to guide what will later be the area of black bricks. I assume you lay the brown bricks and then cut out the shape for the black diamonds and then lay them. How normal is this. For large areas it makes sense, but for smaller areas or less complex designs, would you normally just cut and lay the odd shaped bricks as you go alone; or does this take too much planning to get the overall spacing correct?
Finally, well done, it looks really smart
Well, that’s it, 2018 campaign finished
Old girl has done me proud again, not really missed a beat all season, couple of minor niggles that nobody could have done anything about, but crucially didn’t actually loose a moments spreading, so all good
She’s got a fair shine in her this year. Time to paint the body out and think about having a holiday
. Also got some nice waterproof leggings of them, which was quite appropriate as it’s p!ssed it down all afternoon.
Is it tea and scones time now?Not by most people’s standards probably, no. But we’ve done a decent amount in a short time, so it’s not all bad.
I’m not ruling out doing any more, but I can’t think where that order will come from?.....so I’d say we’re done
how big is itStarted moving Youngstock into their new home today
You still have OSR to cut??The old man had a right trauma yesterday while I was out combining, went to get the big baler out which had a soft tire and managed to pop the tire of the bead
Anyway, first job today, fix compressor oil pipe.
Managed to re-solder the end back on. (It’s supposed to have a bend in it
The old man oiled the baler up as we’ve finished with it (hopefully
The went and finished the last field of spring wheat.
Just spring beans and osr and I can put the combine away
Next time I’m down your way I’ll bring you someSadly, I can only dream of tea and scones, Phil......
, you can supply the hot water
Yes, Spring hybrid osr
Let us all know how it does, spring OSR normally gets the two fingers up by most folk so v interested to hear your thoughts on it after the binder has been through it
