After quick bit of googling the two top pictures are meadow browns, seen them in huge amounts while mowing hay this year, the other one is a Ringlet,was quite interesting watching them as the Ringlet seemed to get quite agressive toward the meadow browns at times

Few pics took round the yard today while cutting logs

I've got a very battered set of these I just clamp the netting in and attach a chain to the loop in the middle then chain that to the loader or postknocker and reverse til tight then either double staple the wire to hold it while releasing the pressure and tie off or use a monkey strainer to take the pressure off one strand at a time and cut it and wrap it, which is bit more faf but looks neater

Why you don't go for the dirt cheap quotes
csservices replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in General chat
Very true, we have been doing some work over the last 6 months for a customer, basically following round putting right what the builder did wrong, mostly drainage on a yard, put in nice new concrete with "drains" turns out the reason the drains don't work is because he just put in a gully and didnt connect it to anything! another one he had "freed off" turned out that it had run for a while because he had smashed the bottom out of the old cast iron gully with a crow bar, worked til ground got saturated, no way it would have run otherwise when we dug it out the 6" pipe connected to it was bunged solid with silt The same builder keeps ringing my mate up now whinging he's got no work, wonder why?! -

OH YES! Rover SD1 to make a comeback!!!
csservices replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in The Lounge
Think alot of the original SD1's got robbed for thier engines by landrover owners, I had a lwb series 3 with a 3.5 v8 in out of one, would do a standing start in 4th gear used to eat the back tyres being in 2wd, could always wipe the smirk off a boy racers face with it at the traffic lights though drop it into second and boot it when the lights went green -
Marshall 802 Tractor - opinions?
csservices replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Large equipment
From memory the Steyr connection was towards the end of the companies existence after the Marshall name and etc had been bought by another company whose name escapes me at the minute, think the idea was to rebadge steyrs in marshall colours to increase the product range, was a series of articles on the Marshall tractor story in classic tractor magazine, either last year or year before I think -
Cooler and cloudier up here today, last 8 acres of hay to bale tomorrow, just checked metoffice we've got yellow warning for rain tues/weds, might be able to have a day off for first time in 3 weeks

Bought one off the brother in law, he retained the harness for his new one, I use it with a loop harness off an old danarm strimmer, works fine but then don't do long days with it

2 metre spacings on the posts is going to make it mighty expensive, you can go up to 6 m spacings using high tensile netting although I usually go at 5 m if your using mild steel netting you should still be ok to go to 4m spacings, save some back ache too

Went to check the cows earlier and found these two plus family living happily in the water trough, were three stages of tadpoles plus the little fella in the second picture

Not very good one from my phone again, but this buzzard was far more interested in what he'd found in the grass than the tractor coming at him

My younger brother shot his first woodcock with my baikal .410 when he first started shooting had literally explained to him what they looked like 5 mins before, had one pellet just behind its eye, that was a fluky shot

Don't know how hot it was but mowing in my old ford today I could feel the heat coming through the soles of my boots she was running so hot, doesnt help the door struts broke so couldnt have the door open for any air flow, glad the customer took pity and bought me an icecream out

Oh it happened landy 90 with 3.0l essex v6 in it, no video though which is surprising as my Mrs usually likes to record such moments for posterity

You can when you chain it to a skip wagon with a fully loaded skip on thats backed off the hardcore you put down and sunk on your lawn, span it on all four wheels and was skipping side to side across the road
