@rhyslew90 The sound of summer😎 (if you're my age anyway)
JF 900/1050

@mad4farming Been nicked from Llanfair Caereinion believe it or not. Sighted way to the west in Dinas Mawddwy then appears to have been ridden over the mountains to Bala. Last rumoured sighting on the A55!

@mad4farming There were still some operating when I was in Kansas in the late 90s. The domed shape of the stack meant they stored outside with no cover. Fed outwintered cattle with a reciprocating knife on an arm attached to the stack mover, literally slicing like a loaf

@_falky Leave magazines lying around. My 4 year old niece's way of saying she needs time out when I babysit her is to pick up a copy of @profitractors, plonk herself next to me and demand "tractor story".

@derycrees @jdpoc OP reminds me of Red Lane by Powis Castle. And the lad I was working for putting his Dad and relief milker to cart silage on tractors without CB radios...

@Dylancastellior @Kongskilde1 @MenaiTractors 1060 drum with 1360 driveline? JF should have put that drawbar on the mid size choppers years ago. Much better for transport with a wider pickup.

@skodapickup @kenyanpigfarmer In similar vein: Smotyn. (Spot in Welsh)

@mad4farming @aksteele69 Friday.😉 Job and knock.

[David Jones @DavidJones999]

@BenAdamsAgri One of our contractors has a Suzuki Jimny converted into a pickup. That ticks a lot of boxes on a hill farm.

@kirtonskeldyke @joncoupland Silage contractor at the time had both tweaked 3350 and a MK2 Golf Gti. 11 year old me might have been a tad influenced.🤣

@macinnes_john @mad4farming @fedwarian No. Always assumed it wouldn't agree with 40k on the road. Wheel weights defo something I would consider in the future though.
3000 had water in the tyres when it was on the loader years ago. Got a picture somewhere of it lifting a dumpy bag of fertiliser

[David Jones @DavidJones999]

@mad4farming @fedwarian Look into wheel weights if you do. A Fire Service colleague has done that so he can tow a bale trailer while still having the weight to load. Can move the pins on the MX weight I bought to clear the trailer drawbar, but think the pipe stalk will catch.

[David Jones @DavidJones999]

@MartinMurray_Ag @JamesPreuss My feelings exactly. You've got two tractors and two seed carts. All that's being saved, after considerable investment, is wages for one ag student on a working holiday visa?

@AbiReader Years ago, while bottle feeding lambs, I thought waterproof trousers should come with internal pockets for builders' knee pads.

[David Jones @DavidJones999]

@bencm305 They skip the nappies here. Last one captured their excrement in a McDonald's fries packet. Then left it on the middle of our lane
But prize must go to the motorist with a severe case of diarrhoea. Which was found by the sheepdog🤢
Full waterproofs and spraying gloves to wash him

@willwilson100 Spoils it for all the people whose side hustle is buying said poorly presented items below value, running a pressure washer over them and selling on at a markup.🤣

@HefinR All 3 were!
