Have you got any details on that irrigator? Could be what I’m looking for.

Not very cheap with the pump and everything but it proceeds up and down my fields at nights getting rid of the dirty water in an excellent fashion

Would it work off a bore hole pump at 3-4 bar?

Performed open heart surgery on this mess today

So much for German engineering, rubber hose up the back of the boiler that you can neither see or feel. Spent 6 hours today sorting it out.

All because of that.

Landlord and tenant happy and the walls and door cleaned up fairly well.
Another one sorted, back to the combine header tomorrow :cool:

Contractor turned up with this new toy.

I had said I was worried that that I might not get all the grass in the pit. - but we did.

It really does pack it in and left a very firm surface. We can usually cut up the silage as we run up and down with the forklift when putting the sheets on. Not this time - forklift was hardly leaving a mark on the surface.

Must, surely, lead to less sinkage and a better fermentation with less air in the pit?

Waste of time that thing taking another man and tractor up adding cost your contractor wants to get a better shovel
