If it was bigger I probably wouldn't, but much prefer a "proper" dump trailer with a proper "scow end"

Can't say I've had that issue as the load just falls out rather than having to go under the tailboard

Had that day last week.
Started with leaking slurry hose that neighbour had borrowed and covered in pig sh!t, then when we got going new fitting blew off, covered in cow sh1t, then in evening sil rings to say drains blocked at their rental property, can I sort it, human sh1t.
Toilet paper should be rationed, solve lots of problems!

Doesn't stand much chance when it's already piled on top of the door when loading it tbh.

Friday again and wow, what a week it has been! Everything seems to have been at 100 MPH. Still, on the plus side, better to be 100 MPH than dragging your feet trying to find something to do I say.
Cool Hand Luke and King Kev started the week sorting out some wet spots near Chipping Campden. Bit of a buggeration to start with on this job as existing drains were on site but finding them was a bit of an issue as I understand they did not quite match the drawings. Still they pressed on and got it all sorted in the end, even if they did have to dye the ditch a shade of yellow to make sure it was all flowing freely.
We have finally started on the HS2 drainage works for Mr David Jones. Our new 15/15 drainer was loaded yesterday amongst a flurry of orange overalls all running around loading pipe and prepping headwalls. Boss Man Chris gently drove her on Big Wheels with Dilly Bob directing. Thankfully his caution, knowing his left from his right, hand signals and gently, gently approach made sure she was loaded and safe. The job itself is going well, new drainer is racing the 6” land drain in with no problems and early reports are that the f##&%g bar is doing what it is meant to do!! We are praying the weather holds out for us to get finished as quick as we can. The land has laid wet for a while now and be nice to see it back to it’s former glory after the upheaval the land has received over the past few seasons.
Dilly Bob has been flat out putting the final touches on the new 15/15, caught him on the top the other day with a buffing brush on a grinder working up a shine on one of the steel plates. I did try to tell him that if he cleared out the biscuit crumbs from his pockets first so they didn’t fly all over the place it may be a little less dusty and
the custard out of the custard creams would not smear. . . .he never listens!!
Been a dam fine week lads, thanks for all the hard work and the laughs along the way. Have a brilliant weekend and see you all Monday to do it all again. Till then, stay safe and stay smiley

Hardly piled on top the door when it's a piece that's flopped over it

They still love it.
That bit of rain this week is getting something else for them to eat in the next field in a week or two.
Looking at sheep without all that tedious wandering around.

Last load of veg delivered for the 21/22 season. Red cabbage, spring greens and purple sprouting broccoli, so nice and colourful. Not been a good year, my mantra for the last 8 months has been “next year will be better”.

You could try pigs - then next year will probably be worse.

Makes me smile, when I see adverts for grain store removal, they want payment, and buyer remove, not in my world,
