Bit more zero grazing today. The neighbour was doing something else so I had the machine on my own tractor.

 

[Phil P]

Few jobs at the airport today. First sign of a windy day and they always manage to break a door check strap on something

Then a bit of adjustment on the batwing to set the levels.
If at first it doesn’t move, get a longer bar

And finally made a start doing the annual services on the tractors before the winter kit gets fitted.

Few filters to go at yet, try and get one a week serviced.

Got back to the yard and it’s still p!ssing it down oh well, weekend off for a change

Don’t want anything ploughed and not drilled with the rain forecast on Sunday

View attachment 718304 View attachment 718306 Harvested maize today. What looked like a fantastic crop in early July , but then succumbed to the drought , ended up at just under 15 tons acre. Not a disaster, but disappointing non the less. Good cobs though.

Spout looks big on that krone

Earlier this week started ploughing, tad dry and dusty

 

[Mac10]

Not really working, just walking the hound. would have been nice if the grass had grown like this earlier in summer. 5 days after a long awaited second cut and it’s grown 5 inches in as many days!

Why barley?

Why barley?

Good question . Logistics really , as always grow some barley to follow with stubble turnips on the lighter land . It’ll be wheat after the rest of the maize and after potatoes .
Also it’s a field that helps us a lot if it’s harvested first. Saves running around the roads

This morning we fetched my latest favourite tool , a bomford b577 mower with a spearhead hx cutting head . We brought it off a nieghbour who hadn’t used it for a while and it was I bit of a state . After a good steam clean and a grease it was good to go . A couple of small leaks to sort but enerything worked as it should .
