Today at work

[Muddyroads]

Watched some of it online most things made a very good price

Agreed. Bidding was painfully slow at times. Couldn’t fault Cheffins ringing out every last bid!

I was thinking of you today......trying and failing to DD into bean stubble with fat hen remnants left over - a disc drill would have come in handy to cut through it, a GD would do (but wouldn't level it), or perhaps a Rapid or similar straight in to level the top off a bit. If not it'll be a plough/combi job.

We have 2, one does about 1000 a year, other will do the rest

Wont do it from neutral. Push shuttle lever in direction want to go then press button on shuttle lever. It goes beep, it auto de-clutches then below 3kph changes gear and then re engages clutch. Helps it if you brake at same time.

Wonder if my 2170 has that?

Never heard of it before.

Case IH 4240 and three furrow Lemken finishing 60 acres of grass ley.

@Speedstar

No end of kit/tractors etc they own wasn't included in the sale today! I imagine anything in the sale they didn't want to really sell had high reserves on it...

You can imagine whatever you like, but everything sold.

Just a set of rear mounted pallet forks. Front weights were more than I was prepared to pay, but I wish I’d looked more closely at the tipping trailers as they were cheaper than I expected.

Everything was making good money even those pallet forks immaculate kit and as always cheffins worked hard on sale day

My 2135 had it,still shite though.

 

[ImLost]

Just got in from making a start on clearing a poplar up that blew over in the high winds we had a couple of days ago. Should be enough firewood to keep the home fires burning for a day or two...

The main trunk is somewhere off to the right and runs way out of the photo, still a couple of hours work left to clear it!

 

[Chae1]

Emptied chamber on square baler. Left my usual trail of carnage.

 

[Adeptandy]

Apart from spending the day invoicing customers the only other thing of interest I did was to get the place a QR code

Another 60 acres drilled and rolled in-between showers
