Today at work

[Kiwi Pete]

So the floor is concrete?
Don't it get very messy?
Here we would scrape out every couple of days, just the bit where they feed and bed down the rest with straw every couple of days

The bit I scrape is concrete, rest is just 14 inches or so of woodchip.
The secret is getting the silage bang-on for DM%, too wet is no good as they too loose, and too dry is both impossible to feed in a wind and won't tramp into the chip -"like a horse paddock" apparently.
I've nice silage, and just as well, I'm about 6 metres into the shallow end of a 37 metre stack, in 5 weeks.. Will be lucky to get through it by the end of next winter
Have more cattle coming so that will help trample the muck in, much like a slat floor from what I've read on here about them.
If you put more cattle in then they stay cleaner?
Cheap, anyway, 70 cube of chip for $1442 delivered- $12/hd for bedding?
Don't have a long winter down here.

Where the plasterboard is missing at the bottom, so was the tile, had to remove the rest of the tile, replace and support the edges of the plasterboard, cut the pipework back and replace as it had been damaged with the hammering, drill the tile and then reassemble it all

Oh I see! The whole lower chunk had a hammer hole!

"Looking for a leak" almost turned into "Created a leak"

Work like that done by you and @Phil P is great to see - I only wish you both lived locally!!

What dealership is that? That 5125r looks smart!

It's cornthwaite ag at Bispham Green, Parbold. Ye I was looking at that 5125r, looks a proper tidy little thing for 125hp had loader brackets so I would imagine it will be a pretty handy round buildings to.

That 6610 looks prime

 

[Willie adie]

another job done and happy customer glad to get back to my own work after. Two weeks of being in charge and dealing with one disaster and another at least any problems at this job are self inflicted

Only issue was the light rylock but just went canny pulling and avoided rippage

Know the feeling oh so well

Same here, I always told folk that "The EA pays our mortgage and the afrm keeps me sane"!. I even said that to my EA bosses and they just laughed.

Thank you we've been trialling a new drug and reducing his other drugs because one of them can effect the heart and we can a week of ok and then the night before last hit a major reflux flare, being sick like he used to when he was 6 months old and before all his drugs.
Makes you appreciate how bad he could be all the time

Are the wheels on the wrong way?

when it's a non driven wheel treads are the other way to what a tractor is
