Looks good what speed are you going at

Varying according to the hedge conditions as it hasn’t been cut for at least 2 years. I set the cruise at 2.7k.

That's a bit quick
I'm normally at 0.5 - 1.5k depending on the hedge on the puma cvx

It cut well, but the amount of sap always helps at this time of year, and I’d run the grinder over the flails not too long ago. It’s contract work, so I like to find the balance between doing a tidy job and not running their bill up any more than it needs to be.

Subsoiling tramlines where I am going to sow grass if I can ever gat any soil, currently any soil would fall down the cracks I think. It is a bit staedy with a 1 leg sub-soiler but I only had 40 acres to do at 24 metres so not a big job.

Then I had to ballast roll it to try and crack the lumps, not all a total success.

Your not paid by the houri set the mf to 3mph and use most of it

We only do our own hedges so it's not a massive problem, some of our hedges aren't quite tame yet so then need a steady approach

Have thought about it. Do they have the weight to deal with 2-3 years growth including elms?

Yes

Youd have to obviously slow down but I've gone through 3/4year ash no problem
Level that off in 3 passes

Couldn’t put it off any longer, started the wheat this afternoon. As feared it won’t be breaking any yield records unless it’s the poorest crop ones

Neighbours big Lexi tearing up the acres

Think this is the smallest row of straw I’ve ever laid out, wish i’d chopped it now

I had to keep looking back to see if I'd actually dropped any straw behind the combine but I had only got a 15' header!

my farming career hasn’t been going too well this week
Decided to use the quad to carry the horses water....then ran out of petrol fetched petrol and it still wouldn’t help. Had to send photographs to @mtx.jag to show me where the choke was...would have been quicker to use the wheelbarrow for the water

farm dog turns 11 today she’s still quite poorly and has to go in on Thursdays for another ultra sound and X-ray

That switch is supposed to tell you the bag on the back isn’t fitted right.

We just mulch with ours so never have the bag on the back. There’s a plug behind (by back wheel) that can disconnect the switch. If the terminals happened to be bridged with a paper clip, the switch wouldn’t be an issue any longer.

I’m sure @mtx.jag will be able to solve the problem.

Spent a bit of time teaching myself to trim with the vario on some turf ground.

[Vincent]

A few from the last few days..a bit of fencing with my dad and bases for lights along my drive way.

It is if you have a derogation. I was a bit surprised that turf qualified, but I guess grass is grass, regardless of it’s end use!
