The plough man got his drone out this evening.

Finished our first block of ground. A few days ago a star shaft broke in one machine.Less than two hours later the same happened to a second machine 🙈. And this afternoon we packed up and moved to our next block and a bit closer to home. Or at least everyone else did while I sat in a lay-by...

Yes it is. Ideally we would have got a few acres in at the beginning of march and then quietly kept plodding on.

Levelled up some of the ploughman’s ends between showers this morning.And this afternoon we had kick off.

A couple of days on harvester maintenance. Dropped a few shafts out the first multisep to replace some segments. And took the ring main out to sort a couple of holes.

A day or two giving the man in the welding mask a hand on the latest project.Clamping trailer sides with one side doubling up as a box levelling platform. Once finished it will also have a rollover sheet with incorporated straps.

Not all today but have been having a go through this one. All bearings and stars removed, checked and replaced as needed.The pins, spherical bearings and ears on the steering was getting a bit slack and was starting to wonder around rather than pull straight so it got a bit of a rebuild. Bushes...

Yes it is. On it’s 4th or 5th season here now.

Might even get to having a couple days off. If only I had a passport 🤔😂.

Finished our own ploughing and drilling on Monday. And did a few acres to help a neighbour today.

Couple of days on the disks to start the week. Found some stones to add to the collection.Wednesday did some tractor hopping. First out with the sumo. Then on a plough to turn a few wetter headlands upside down. A quick bit of windrowing to open up the next field for the harvester.Onto the...

Today we finished lifting the salad spuds. Ready to start on some bigger ones tomorrow.

Afraid not it sold a fair while ago.

Around 550.

Catch up for the week. More windrowing. Trailer man for a couple of days. Empty boxes to the field and full ones home to help the lorry out. And today back on tron 2.

Think this sums it up well. 😂

All depends on where we are and how it’s going. If I drop both units in I can put both cross conveyors going to either the left or right to create 2 sets of doubles in one pass, or I can put both going into the middle to create a triple. In the drone shots I’m only putting up one double at a...

Couple of days on the windrower, and first proper test of the deviner webs. Deviner webs doing their thing and carrying a good percentage of haulm straight out over the back of the machine, rather than putting it all in the ridge for the harvester to sort out.Lad helping on trailers today got...

First few days of lifting set skin. Dig around to check none are left behind.

Finished up the last of the topping for a while, possibly for the season. Think the soapy water might be coming out tomorrow.
