Neighbour used to fit household sockets in his cab,I tried it once (can’t remember what machine I was powering) it melted and near set the tractor on fire.When we had a Claas 44 baler with electric tie I put a 3 pin domestic plug on the baler and fitted a three pin socket to match in the cab along with tying switch. To this day I haven't seen another tractor with a household 3 pin socket in it. A lad at the meat factory asked me what the socket was for, I said to boil a kettle.

That would be a very rare 590, could be worth a lot of moneyIve seen a 590 with a household light switch for the beacon

Co op here used to sell a bit of ration they had at the back of the shed. Bring your car trailer to the heap and use the shovel to fill it up. One guy comes in anyways, loads up the trailer and buried the shovel in the trailer and took off. Next guy turns up and is looking for the shovel to load up. The storeman put 2 and 2 together and charged the guy who loaded up last for a brand new shovel on the docket. Next week he comes in looking for another trailer load and got talking to some1 who jokingly said there's a nice 2nd hand shovel in the back of the shed. "That's all well and good but the fucker here would charge me the price of a brand new one." Shovel hadn't been taken after that pointCo op here had a mole plough they used to give out if fellas bought piping off them, same story it , it was borrowed by a neighbour then someone else, it vanished in the end

How many tractors does a cat need, wouldn't one be enough for him.Could have belonged to Big Tom.

pet hate at work getting phone calls to borrow a tool same fellas then saying I've to many tools🤐🤐 I like the rule borrow once if you need it again buy or hire itI'm baffled by a lot of this.
I can understand borrowing something from a fellow farmer. But half of ye are contractors.
Who borrows a tradesmans tools??? That's literally taking the bit out of a mans mouth.
I'm slow to borrow or lend, but how do you borrow the tools from a man because you're too cheap to pay for him and his tool.
Surely you have to at least hire the thing. I'd be ashamed to even ask
I’d be using a consaw to unlock it and leave the repairs for him to do.A lad got a loan of my mag drill I wanted it and rang him to return it and he had gone off for a few days away with the family and it was locked away.
Did you ever get paid ?Worst i can remember was a few years a go, local man went and got another contractor to do the silage for him as he hadn't payed me for the last year, landed into the yard here when I was away, looking for a lend of the tractor and loader off the father to draw in the bales, of course like a fool he gave it too him, we landed back that evening and here was the tractor parked tight up against the wall, stuck in gear!! If that wasn't bad enough, he sends a text the next day to know when the tractor would be fixed!! He had broken a ball joint off the linkages under the gear sticks, trying to ram it into gear, neck like a jockeys bollox,
Yeah I did, he generally pays once every 3 years or soDid you ever get paid ?

Not a chance, sells a site every few years, catches up on paying bills then!!! But at least he paysWhen it suits him ,
Or if you were stuck and asked him , would you get it ?
A bit like buying prize bonds, it's never worth any more than what you paid for it but at least you know you can cash it in some dayNot a chance, sells a site every few years, catches up on paying bills then!!! But at least he pays
That's very good now in fairness, the mark of a professionalBuck that has a few cattle and is still youngish used to be round the yard on and on. Another forum member will know who ,
But the lad is sound himself but wouldnt be getting the best guidance at home.father would be well noted for been tight.
Anyways the buck asked me for a dosing gun as they were going to dose but as I had done a few at drying off a few days earlier and the gun barrell cracked and broke.would have given it to him otherwise, but I said to him its broke and I'd have to get another ...
" ah no bother , il get one in the store and put it down to you and drop it out to you later " ......i replied i didn't like the make he was selling and I'd get a different make.
Just thought it a bit mean , if I had it i give it but not under his idea.
