Today at work

[Levelsman]

not sure on whos ground, just sent the pin drop to look at it. dropping in from the top loaded at 44 tonne isn't tickling my fancy if im honest however i certainly wouldn't get up it loaded either. The field that heads down to the motorway looks fine. and yes the picture makes it look nothing, no room for error halfway along that track before it just drops off.

Sod it - empty at the top and let it find its own way down!

I know where you are now.

You’re right no room for error. A real “put your phone down and switch off the radio “ moment!

The long field that tails off narrow gets a bit interesting!

If I’m right, I presume you’re aware there are other gates for access at the bottom of the block? Good for artics too.

i came down a track by 2 grain stores. there is a gap in the hedge i could sneak through of a field up top if i run along the headland.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

The block runs down towards the Mway and there is a gate off the lane, but I don’t think the track runs right down there from the new shed.

Last time I was there the new shed wasn’t built.

Opened my emails this morning to find a Prior Notification approval for a TFF member. This one really surprised me as it is in the South Downs National Park, is 860sqm and was determined in only 21 days - I was expecting more of a battle but I front loaded the application with plenty of justification, including improvements to the safety of members of the public using a footpath through the farm.

He can now stop storing his hay in his beef shed and suffering the waste.

You’ve not spent much time on a tanker last thing you want to do is spread down hill that liquid may travel faster then you and then you’ll be in a right world of pain

Day 3
Think concrete was cheap when these internal posts where put in, View attachment 1169643View attachment 1169644View attachment 1169645View attachment 1169646

Will they just be going for scrap? Surprised you didn’t just cut off and sell on - or is it not worth it?

Field walking today. Spring barley fields which were subdisced have slumped and not worth a picture. Wheat received 30 units a week ago and looks better now having lost that sick yellow colour.

Oilseed rape was plenty tall enough last week applying fertiliser.

The far field is very patchy having been decimated by pigeons.

Applying digestate Pre drilling has certainly helped when you compare the two fields.

The plan was to remove and yes sell, but concrete killed that idea, so just got on and into the scrap bin,

Day 4, job finished, 27 ton scrap, approx 250 ton concrete removed,

At least it wasn't the same method as the muckspreader last week!!!

Finally got my telehandler back today after five and a half weeks of being messed around by the transmission firm doing the repairs.

 

[Chae1]

Sounds like there is a story here

Think it involved a teacher, some dual wheels and maybe a court case!.

Sure the earl will fill us in on the truth!

Side pipe mounting brackets on today. Were horrible to fit. Holes wouldn't line up where bolts went into chassis.

Fitted screen for hopper camera.

Found my sheep fiddling pants(photo taken in a peaty area where I jibbed taking the ranger 🫣)
Remembered why I dislike them....although you're dry, you develop your own micro-climate inside them

An action shot of the gather (hence the jaunty angle) By chance I found somewhere that I hadn't made ruts 🫣

I know I mentioned Spring last week, but we're back to the Somme this week

Wagon booked for Sunday. 330 ish out of the way should help the grass situation

 

[Gerbert]

I thought I was nearly done chipping but one guy had more then I expected, nice.

 

[TheEarlOfMoray]

Had it 10 years now and been alright.

Have you ran over any more cars recently!?

Oh really?

 

[GOODYSMATE]

Just been to look at this field we planted of wheat last October,wheat just rotted away and it's gone down very tight with all the rain ,we do plan on putting spring barley in but more rain forecast.
