Busy day for me on the farming front, fed the steers and haylage in then off to do some harrowing before it gets too wet, did 25 acres in all 6 near home and all the council ground which I don’t have to do but it is for my benefit, the old einbock spring tine harrow does a real good job and spreads all the cow pats and rips out the old grass, may even roll it if the weather holds out Buzzer.

It was on special lol

Evening Buzzer

Looks like you’re making a reet job wi them harrows we could do with a bit of that at home, I think those spring time harrows make a better job than the traditional chain ones.
Loaded tractors at Fakenham, Hardwick and Harworth now parked up at Lanark ready for three drops int morning.
