View attachment 75330 This was left for me to fix only seen it this morning they have a T7 270 in the fleet as well so they’re not stuck.

Mind that one, they are not that common now!

Even better down here, a lovely shade of burnt red right across the horizon. A joy to see.

Beautiful here too

Spread some fert after the cattle test today. Had a couple of tonne from last year. Had to be careful. Broke up fairly easily when I cut the bag from around it. This was CAN. The rest was 10-10-20 and not too bad.

Sulcan I presume, the Sulphur is usually the main reason for fert going hard.

That could have ended badly in a fiberglass hopper!

I was very careful of that when cutting

Was just thinking the same thing, could have been bye bye Cosmo!

I cut the bag slightly then beat the bag enough to build up a good base of loose fert. Then lowered it down to sit on the loose stuff and cut the bag off. Strips of plastic everywhere from those stupid bags.

Should I have bucketed it in? Or what would other lads do?

Lift and drop the bag repeatedly on a concrete floor, if very bad a few belts of the side of the sledge all round the unopened bag, most of the time 4-5 drops from about 1 mitre will do the trick.

That's the job:Thumbp2:

Just make sure its clean concrete


In case your bag bursts you can clean up easier

early or late harvest?

I would open the bags onto concrete and hit it with a 12 tonne Volvo.

We give the bags a whack off the silage pit wall does the trick

Small bit of ploughing today, I think I better stick to taking pics at ploughing matches

Spring barley today. Self isolation is going well.

It's around 20 years that I lifted a half ton bag of fertiliser into the Vicon wagtail spreader and the handle of the bag broke. The whole unopened bag went straight through the fibreglass hopper. Seemingly there was a batch of fertiliser bags with weak handles and a good few had broken. The co-op rep in fairness got the fert supplier to contribute £300 to a replacement hopper.

the land at the other side of the ditch must have been completely different soil wise when you see conifers planted on it

Thats the forest that runs around Tintern Abbey, Coillte would have planted parts of it years ago.

The fert supplier was lucky nobody was hurt!

How's the tractor going?
Is she a Cs or a cvx replacement

The 2 CS130's went in January, and I was thinking they'd be here forever! Got that 250 and a 235 that has the loader on it now. Like all new yokes they have a few niggles but so far so good.
CVX is still lurking around, but if I had to choose which to spend a day on it'd be the 250, may the vario gods forgive me for my transmission transgression......
