When I get it out the house and over to the yard up and running then yes, although the tractor dyno I've got recently may be a bit more interesting and entertaining Neil…

Not a lover of technology, favourite piece of equipment on the farm is my 360 digger, it doesn’t get used much, can’t even say it’s essential to my farming, after all, managed 30 odd
years without one but I find digger work very relaxing.

As for technology, I now try to avoid if at all possible, two of the biggest wastes of money on the farm have been the computer system linked to the parlour which I just couldn’t get on with and in contrast to an above post, scr heat time, neither of which were used for long.
