Today at work

[Pan mixer]

Retagging sows before they go on the new system, most didn't notice me cutting out the old transponders and putting in the new ones through the same hole whilst they were distracted by food.

Not often I need a wheelbarrow to move the tags around.

Had an expensive couple of days

Splashed a bit of cash

Think the cold had got to my brain

Then Mrs Adeptandy joined in and added to the pack, make this time to serve some of the bitches

Faffed around with the biomass boiler this morning, called to see parents and grandparents.

Called in to see @Nearly on the way home.
He was still hard at it so I fiddled with his tractor.

Definitely a Ford!

Lucky you didn't find the ejector seat as well as the self destruct button.
Good to see the photography gcse wasn't wasted.

Bale of straw into the cow cubicles today. Bloody midi hestons! One day I will finish the cladding at the back of the shed. It's only been about 4 months since I put the doorway in at the back thoughView attachment 755944

Another bale for the little heifers we keep at our neighbours placeView attachment 755946

Install at a new barn. Re-build from a devastating fire last year. Lost the herd as well.

Bit of a catch up again for the week just gone, it’s that time of year when the first job in a morning is putting the heating on

First job of the week was a 6930 with a broken A/B gear cable and a couple of electrical faults.

Easy end of the cable off. And If anyone is ever looking for the chassis active can-bus terminator on a 30 series it lives just here

Not so easy end of the cable lives behind the chassis rail and all this lot

Then tried getting the old lister engine going on the beet cleaner after been stood for a year, it wasn’t having any of it! Usually fired up first go as well

Decided a service may be a little overdue!
Any, after new filters an oil change a blow torch in the inlet and three of us taking turns cranking it over it eventually came back to life

Then had a day out at Lamma so that’s already been covered in other threads.

Also had a mate’s Ford/Nissan Turano thing in again for a pre mot inspection (it’s the one I platted all the chassis on last year!)
Anyway on closer inspection decided it’s to far gone this time

Other than that it’s been just loading beet

Back to reality after a lovely break away.

cows are still going out in the days.

Unbelievably dry and warm for January .
Been sorting a drainage problem today . Roots from the hedge and sand filled pipes even at this depth. Worn out now, but very pleasing when you get the water running again .only problem now is the water is struggling to get away where new houses have been built . Thanks to my landlords for that .
