No plans to swap it yet ?Fresh boots on, back on with cultivations, or do they ever stop View attachment 1134442View attachment 1134443View attachment 1134444View attachment 1134445
Not that I’m aware, 3 tractors 2 self propelled horsch sprayers, self propelled harvester, over £2m spent in the pack house and took on another farm this year means it’s fairly low down the list at the momentNo plans to swap it yet ?
I'm soloing for third wheat after grass and the soil is in great condition. Grass does wonders.Bit more ploughing, our hi mag soil has gone very tight this harvest.

Call it a sixth sense, but I knew Glenda was up to something this morning. Every time I looked at her she had a pained expression.
By dinner time there was a string of rubbery goo so I felt inside. Nothing obviously going on, and very dry.
By milking tonight she was a bit wobbly, so I fired two calcium boluses into her and felt inside half an hour later.
Bugger. Suspect twisted uterus, and she wouldn't stand up to let everything fall back so I could tell which way it was twisted. Phone call to vet.
Anyway, she jumped up ten minutes later, so felt in again and it was off to the left. So she needed to sit on her left side so we could have a do at rolling her. (You roll the same way as the twist)
Anyway, she was a bit pee'd off but we dropped her and rolled her.
Yay! Two feet and a head in the distance.
Vet arrived and checked her over. Thought calf was moving along nicely so left us to it
Gave her a pull when the nose was just peeking. The cow was knackered and the calf needed to be out.
A beautiful heifer

That looks well and truly hoopajooped…….. sorry
laser receiver, i have it set to the bottom of the trench so just use it to set the bucket height before i take another cut. Not perfect but a lot better than having someone walk up the trench with a staff. We don't have much fallIs that box on your dipper some sort of levelling device @Wombat ?
And the knacker man for the cow this morning Whether the calf has put a foot through when we rolled it?Well done! Amazing outcome after all that!
Well, except the murder
