@EleanorDurdy94 5.5mm here in Shropshire overnight. It just about dampened the dust for the morning 😅

@OOOfarmer All very well made trailers from what I’ve seen. Personally I’d have a Bailey because I like some of their design features over the others.

@EleanorDurdy94 If you had a 4x4 one, with a towbar, though it could almost be considered utilitarian. And handy for towing the diesel bowser come summertime 😂

@giles_bristol We’ve got a Claas Scorpion 7055 which is a Kramer underneath and it’s a great loader. Extremely well designed and thought through how things work etc. We’ve never owned a JCB but I’ve driven plenty and I never understand what the rave is about them. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@EleanorDurdy94 Like a spring day here in Shropshire 🙌🏻

You would not think a few fibrous roots could hold that back !

@loweroddfarm Definitely Milwaukee, we’ve a 1/2” impact here, I forget the model but it’s the biggest 1/2” they do. Just needs careful operation on smaller bolts else it’ll snap them like carrots.

@farmerevees What will it lift?

[Matt Walmsley @Walmsley_Matt]

@agricontract @EnvAgency Spot on Olly. True farmers idea/explanation too, drawn on a concrete panel wall 😂 there’s plenty of diagrams/phone numbers/plans drawn here on them, alway keep the chalk handy.

Great virtual YFC talk tonight with @SFYFC

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

Chatting to @SFYFC in a few minutes.
There are advantages to be able to it all from home but I can't wait to be able to go out & talk to people in the flesh. Not least because it's hard to know who's fallen asleep on Zoom!

[Matt Walmsley @Walmsley_Matt]

@farmerevees Redbacks everyday, tad expensive but comfortable and lightweight on your feet 👌🏻

[Matt Walmsley @Walmsley_Matt]

@oliviaaedgerton There’s lots of forgotten workers not just farmers all of which have worked on throughout all this, truck drivers, mechanics, post and delivery people to name just a few. All crucial in their own way.
