Evening Buzzer

Yes were pretty busy up ere making silage, mucking sheds out, power washing, spraying and selling a few early spring lambs… We have started mowing for silage up near home, so we will be picking that up this week.
A large part of our job is moving demo machinery about, mostly tractors and telehandlers but also we do a lot of self propelled forage harvesters and like you say those two tractors in the photo have a value in the region of 200k, so insurance is very important.
Back in tomorrow off to Bedale and Sheffield with concrete then maybe off to Hull for a load of new tractors…all good fun eh.

Cheers Wrighty.

Wrighty, Those heifers of yours are aweome looking beasts. The photo from 1983/4 certainly shows how large the modern tractor’s are now,makes those
look like toys.

Buzzer, That pic of the 143 with the Sydney Hart liveried trailer were big importers back in the day. Used to send loads through Poole are they still going ?

Morning DEANB

Yes they are like toys compared to todays modern machines, it used to take us a good week to do our first cut of silage at home now they do it in a matter of hours. Having said that the silage we made was every bit as good as they make now, busy at it yesterday made another 67 bales of haylage got it wrapped and stacked inside before the rain came.
Off out now to feed the sheep and move those heifers into a new spot for a while, then this afternoon a bit of pasture topping seen as it’s a wet day up ere…

Cheers Wrighty.
