Doesn't matter who I'm drawing for, wellies are behind the seat.I used have a pair of wellies fired in behind the seat back in my silage drawing days.
Our contractor here gives a hand covering the pit and we are thankful for it. The way they see it is they have to cover their own pit so they know the hardship.We do the same as ossie .put the sheets across the pit and cover 40-50 ft at a time . Easy work with a loader and 3 on the pit and 2 doing the sides .can cover 160 ×60 in 2 hrs .contractors don't touch covering pits around west cork. We have a few friends that give us a hand and we return the favour when they are at silage
I hope you fall in for his pit too In that case?Doesn't matter who I'm drawing for, wellies are behind the seat.

Contractors have a job to find lads to drive never mind cover pits as wellIs it the guys on the machines that help with covering or a few lads that is employed by the contractor to help cover thats not lifting drawing or pushing up
Did so on Sunday. He had a long draw. I got called for an extra trailer. When covering the pit, there was 13 of us including kids and even the women went chucking tyresI hope you fall in for his pit too In that case?
Lads on the machines usually. Might seem bonkers considering they have other customers to deal with but they cover the pits for them tooIs it the guys on the machines that help with covering or a few lads that is employed by the contractor to help cover thats not lifting drawing or pushing up

Christ thats a sight.if an hour lost at a pit its alot in a week.Lads on the machines usually. Might seem bonkers considering they have other customers to deal with but they cover the pits for them too
Corrected that for you,Jaysus there's some amount of aul fellas on here, we have a great grasp of modern technology in fairness
Not allowed up on the pit here with boots, have to have wellies or runners because the boots supposedly tear the pit cover and move it too much, weather that's true or not I dont know.I used have a pair of wellies fired in behind the seat back in my silage drawing days.
A fecking calf went over our pit last year. Left hundreds of holes in the polythene. No one died but i gave the calf a right kick in the arse
Is you put face opening to the prevailing wind so?Ya couldn't roll 4 ft in front of you here with the wind
Well I stacking them as neatly as possible on top of each other like a clamp of bales, they stay clean but obviously will be some water inside. Aslong as they are all dumped up on the pit they are easy organise ontop of the green netting in your own time if lads are in a rushUsually full of water and scutter, then as they get dumped on the plastic the water flows to every footstep, not a bother because we all wear wellingtons in tractors on the hottest days of summer, like fcuk we do and your boots would be destroyed.
one of the neighbours has bigger tyres. has them lined up so he could stick the pallet forks into them and lift 8 or 10 at a time. for us, all usually smaller tyres so they get fired into a heap but we use the buckrake to just scoop up whatever and dump on the pit and let lads throw tyres. not the cleanest and most organised way of doing it but no faffing about eitherWell I stacking them as neatly as possible on top of each other like a clamp of bales, they stay clean but obviously will be some water inside.
