I love the period tyres, looks much better then modern looking ones.

You sure you’ve rolled up the straps the right way? Surely it’s supposed to be hook inside then roll....... I’ll fetch the popcorn

Lorry driver told me HSE says hook on the outside so that you keep hold of the hook not throw it over the load and give someone concussion

Yea me too
Although these are the later style goodyears all service sure grip
The correct ones are traction sure grips but not available in our size new and I've no period ones left in stock

But for whats available they are as correct as can be I guess

I don`t know so don`t laugh but,,,always wondered ,do you drive forwards or backwards when using a bucket brush?

They each have to have a label too. Not easy to comply with seeing as they get brittle and break off.

Oh
Hope your OK and don't get it too bad mate

Pretty sure I don't have it, I heard from another person that a tenant had it that I had been to fix the boiler. So by association I have to have a test to be safe and keep my customers safe.

That be handy when your registering the calf, you can even give bcms the time as well as date!

how easy is it to hook on/off Hfd ? or is that bucket now the dedicated brush bucket? reason i ask is i only have one bucket and have a sweeper for the 3point linkage which rarely gets used due to it being a faff hooking and unhooking implements to use the sweeper

Simple to take on and off . 2 pipes, 2 pins....and a steady operator (which is where I fall short !)

Backwards, otherwise half of it gets flicked under the bucket and you aren't doing a job.

Very resposable of you Andy. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Probably better not to have any actual evidence of date of birth posted on the interweb.

Probably a stupid question, but how do you stop your water pipes freezing in those conditions?

-21 C ,feels like -28C here this morning. Water is run from a self draining hydrant buried 5 feet deep. It is turned on 2 times a day through hoses that go up to near the top of the mow and down into a trough with a heater. Water comes from the well via the house .

That thought had crossed my mind!
Was trying to be diplomatic!

A horrible day weather-wise, plenty of feeding, bedding up and a bit of mucking out. Sometimes being an office worker with weekends off and working indoors seems like a good idea.

The grass always seems greener until you get over the fence.....

Horses had all their microchips done yesterday so me and bubba were moving the electric fencing while they are stabled. At 19 months she needs to start pulling her weight!
