For those wondering what the hell I was on about , I couldn't very well take the photo side on, as the owner was sitting in it . It has a hump in the middle . Chassis bent.
Showed the picture to a mechanic this evening . "That's a jeep came out of the mines . Look at the tailgate. Those yokes could have carried anything/been shoved by anything." .
Made a start on the fert this afternoon,90 acres out the way before milking.

Feckin stuff,think it sat outside a while before it landed at mine,been in the shed here since the first week of January.
I be ringing and complaining about that shit. You pay enough you should get good stuff and not last years left overs
I used 3 bags up from last year 1st and they were fine,just shows my shed is dryer than the docks,merchants in bad books anyway bought fert in late December for late January delivery as the shed was full of straw,3rd of January chap rings up at my gate with 28t of urea:curse: I sent him packing,I tell every artic to ring me once loaded so we can arrange unloading,he never bothered,the curtain trailer sat loaded in the hauliers yard for 10 days while I moved stuff about to fit it in.
I got a 30 tonne Bulk load of Sul can on the 6 th April and only got to spread it the last few days . It sweated and there was water running out of it but it caused no blockages and there were no lumps in it . Even when I swept up the last of it this evening it spread with no bother .
No dust here. Had to go back in time to get seeding under way with as little soil damage as possible. Tractor was purchased new on this farm 51 years ago, ordered with wide wheels for seeding with a similar drill.
I bought it from an exporter , of a ford force. Kept all my original bits though! !! It's got a dromone p. U.hitch since early 70s and I do not have the original swing drawbar clevis if anyone spots one somewhere. I have the drawbar.That 4000 is a credit to you and the family.
Original bird bath exhaust and the lights on the back of the mudguards. And the dynamo belt guard!!!
What is the aftermarket power steering from?
Found a box of old phones here the other day too.Are we really moving forwards with today's phones?. I was looking for something last night and came on this old phone that's Surely 10 years old. It fits in my jeans pockets lovely compared to the S6 I'm currently on and the battery used last a week not a day. I'd happily buy one again for a work phone if they were reintroduced.
