You know you're a stockman tractor driver when.....

[Welderloon]

That's uncanny

Think I'm going to have to have words with the guard collie

Obviously not been barking when you've been checking out my tractor toolbox

A Drawbar pin..................must be a back up hammer, tractor hasn't had a drawbar since it was used to strengthen the Manitou dung grab

The pallet tines are bent on the loader because you tried to dig a post
hole out with the tines pushed together.

No, no, no - only one of them got bent, as every pallet in the yard can testify.

The back of the rad has some 'fan grazing', and the leading edge of the bonnet lines up with the weight frame after an altercation with the corner post of the Atcost.

Half the concrete posts in the Atcost building have steel bits reinforcing them (holding them upright!) after altercations with machinery.

yep he was in with them for 3 days was away on holidays

You park the scraper tractor on a slope so that the rain runs of as there's no small feed sacks to go on the piece of rubber matting you've Tek screwed to the seat to make it slightly more comfortable and warmer

 

[Lazy Sod]

When your scraper is hitched on with bent 6" nails instead of lynch pins and the top link is rusted solid.

 

[Hair Bear]

You have to remember...
Yard scraper down when moving = service brake.
Yard scraper down when stationary = park brake.

come on, get modern, bungee straps.

You don't get bungees free with every bale you use though

Rechargeable magnetic work light on cab roof here!

Croc clips to battery, or fag lighter socket??

Silly question.... clips it is.

Never borrow something from a stockman. It will need fixed before you can use it...

BTGTTS.......

 

[steveR]

For some reason there’s usually a old syringe as well

Used for applying a drop of manky old engine oil/water, on the rusted solid threads on the Top link, more in hope than anticipation, of it working.....

And bits of sheared of shearbolts

And bits of sheared of shearbolts

You never know when they might come in useful

Plugged into mains actually!

It's supposed to be for sorting stuff, but gets repurposed frequently!

When you finally, begrudgingly admit that after several years you’re going to have to treat the old girl to a new clutch because if not you’ll soon need a new gearbox.

The fitter comes out and, just before he starts to get any spanners out, he chips the dried cow shite from underneath the clutch pedal .

Hey presto!! Clutch like new, fortune saved.

If the fitter is worth anything, they will have done that before bothering to order any parts.
