Family day out to the National Ploughing Championships near Atherstone, Warwickshire.

To think thats a 6fr plough and that engine only develops around 25-30hp and it doesnt paddle the furrow bottom ,,and yet now everybody now needs 200hp with hoofing great wide tyres on 5fr ,

Might get a few jobs done at home tomorrow....

That zetor is bloody like my old one. Has it a tanco loader?

Yup, are you the chap I bought it off at Lavrock or the previous owner to that?

I kinda wish I'd kept it but I was made an offer I couldn't refuse...

It was no bother whilst I had it but it's been all sorts of problems since I sold it, big oil leaks, failed clutch, failed starter motor, blown heater hoses, electrical issues!

Wouldn’t make a difference, we got another Argo on to it but it won’t shift. It’s dropped in to an Argo sized hole AND it’s bellied.

Right then, drilling wheat on a budget has finally finished, if i had a pound for every stone that i picked up, i could get one of those new tractor thingey bobs, but where is the fun in that .

It would only breakdown or get a screen full of error codes

What adout a tifner winch and some ground ankers
Spikes at least a meter long
Save walking and won't take up to much room

A 5ft pinch bar just pulls through the peat, the peat will be 10ft deep. The superwinch on the front just stopped pulling at one point. Tried pulling with another argo but it just cocked itself up in the air. A couple hours with a spade and cider and itll be out.

My IW flat bed came back with a new spare tyre, a repaired wheel/tyre, and a bag full of dealer supplied LED lights, not often a loaner comes back in better shape than when it left.
Been installing the lights this week, needed new brackets for the front running lights, plus no fog yet

Also added a discrete handsfree mic with a bluetooth adaptor behind the dash, permanently powered dc-dc 12/5V step down converter and switches to both the truck and van so my phone can charge and the bluetooth adapter can stay powered if i'm making lots of drop offs.
