HP per acre: The truth? You can't handle the truth!

It's a privilege to have been able to put together such a nice collection over the years, everyone's a good 'un, starts on the key and goes all day very rare to have any problems and if such a thing was to happen there's at least one backup sat in the shed ready to take over

What sort of roof is that in the shed? Great fleet by the way.

Thanks! It's standard box profile with foam insulation so it has a flatter sheet on the underside to sandwich the foam in. The other half of the shed not in the picture is the grain store which is why we went with insulated

You can never have too many tractors!
We're "farming" 9 acres with a Case 844 and a David Brown 996 whilst looking out for another 996.

Great pics.
I don’t seem to see many hand shovels/ grain shovels, and hand brooms in your pics!!
Hope your overall farm management/ staff policy is “ if it can’t be done from a tractor seat , a job is not done” ,:banghead:

Plenty manual tools on the farm but they are hardly worthy of a picture [emoji23] other than drilling and combining everything else is down to me, sweeping/mucking out/ clearing drains/fencing/chainsaw work/ operating the grain dryer/maintenance etc, I don’t employ anyone else so have to make every job the most efficient I can [emoji106]

Fair comment. (y)
I was having a “dig” at those that spread empty fertiliser bags everywhere,and empty spray cans everywhere, when under pressure from the manager to get the job done. So not the staffs fault but the manager’s fault, yet they would not admit it, not good. (n)

That’s was taken just after I’d finished giving it a refurbishment, had all new pins, bushes, track rod ends, re-sprayed the chassis, pump refurb, full service, boom pins and bushes etc etc.....
You get the idea, there’s a load of pictures in the t@w thread somewhere.
