It's been incessant since August.

Meh, I remember in the late 1970's we got a combine harvester buried up to its axels in the September and we didn't get it out until the following May.In this instance.

Absolute classics both, and good ones will sell for a multiple of their original price nowadays. Will we see the present crop of tractors still running in their mid fifties and even sixties? The electronics will either have given up or be 'unsupported' by that time I should imagine.Likewise I've seen a few bad ones but this is without any let-up.
I remember ploughing during February in the early 80s and a "technical drought " was the term.for spring barley.
Before the 6 week window bollox.
If you could plough away in December January you did and let the weather break down the furrow before the Harrow.

You'd be drawing diesel to the 7000s though when they get going hard.Absolute classics both, and good ones will sell for a multiple of their original price nowadays.

Yeeeah! Loved the one I was given to drive as a student, you learn to double de-clutch pretty quick with an unbraked load of silage hooked up behind.You'd be drawing diesel to the 7000s though when they get going hard.
Or heading down a slope with a lime spreader that wants to go faster.Yeeeah! Loved the one I was given to drive as a student, you learn to double de-clutch pretty quick with an unbraked load of silage hooked up behind.
Happy days!
Aye, learn the tricks young and they'll stay with you forever, thank God. A few years back I was on a hillside with a tanker load of pig slurry when the front mounting to the frame snapped, creating what may be politely described as a dynamic load - a bit like my bowls at the time.Or heading down a slope with a lime spreader that wants to go faster.
You learn to have a good landing spot to stop the possibility of a jack knife.
Or go down the steep hill with the load nearly gone.
Character forming stuff!![]()
