Our two labs and collie sleep downstairs on their beds either by the aga or under the table in the wellie room, never allowed upstairs unless the wife's being sneaky. They usually plastered and smelly so downstairs is the only place for them. We went camping once and the wife got woke up at 3am by the dog licking his bits right next her face, the shriek was hilarious!!!

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM enjoy eating that looks one very good cake!!!

clearing up someone else's dangerous mess in his mates wood.......still wondering how i got involved in the whole sharade! Lets just say, old man, unfit, dangerous with a saw, half felled tree's stuck in tree's, wind, road.......god i need my bed tonight!!!

we use duals on our arable tractor for cultivation work, they don't always give you more traction, if its clay soils it'll make it worse, sandier soils will help.....You'll soon get tired of taking them on and off, i thought it would be easy just to pop them on and off when i wanted or even every night to bring the tractor in, now she just stays out in the field till were finished and diesel gets dragged out to it like the combine! Tedious things, might be easier on mog as smaller wheels, but muddy locking straps, slippery ground or tire not quite lining up IMO = Hightened stress levels. But we do use them but don't think they're going to be a quick and easy fix, can cause fair bit of tire wall damage to if ur near stones alot like us, guess also timber might be a problem jamming up between them. Sorry to be so hard, but personally i don't think they're going to achieve what u want IMO.

oh it be a blowing here as well now, proper wind and rain to wake you in the middle of the night thinking ah could be a dark breakfast in the morning!!!

beautiful techinique!!!! Think my 10 yr old niece could do better!!!

:thumbup::thumbup:

ummmmm..... yeah i suppose it did really didn't it!!! Hadn't thought of it like that, but we didn't go there and live off their 'system' and ask them to change, we went beat or killed them and then told them what to do. Not saying that was right approach either, but surely it was slightly different as i'm sure hitler didn't worry about the PCness of gassing a few million jews to get to where he hoped? Sorry horribly off topic and turning into political rant, i'm off to feed a few hundred cows and talk to myself and the radio!

My darling mother-in-law is putting great pressure on me to give it up with my vodka after reading some Amercian research paper suggesting people who drink coke ie 250ml at least 3 times/week are 30%more likely to die of bowel cancer........... more tea and water and only ice with the vodka it seems..........

sorry but u if wanna live in the UK, u gotta live with our ways, cranky or not! You wouldn't go to Nigeria or Afghanistan and tell them you wanted them to change!!! Now that don't mean i agree with rasicsm, but all this PC malarky is getting ridiculous.

Mine was to loose a couple of kilo's, were expecting our first child end of june, so i thought might be plan to get ready for sleepless nights and long days farm working....... But i gotta be honest i'm bloody starving already, i don't eat unhealthy just too much of it! So i'm hoping the first bit is the worst, getting used to tea without the half a spoon of sugar is gonna be a grind to!!!! So you made any and have they been broken yet?

its only crap from china because we get them to make it as cheap as they can, if you actually pay them a decent price for their product u'll get very good products!!!

I can see why your all bit pissed off with cowboys like this, but every industry has them undermining the good of the industry. No matter how much legislation you produce the cowboy from the pub will always survive in any industry. As a farmer we have lots of assurance schemes and standards , but there are still people who don't follow standards or who don't have farm assurance and they're the one who paint a poor light on our industry and are the likely cause to many of the farm deaths due to poor standards. Its called 'life' and we all have to battle with it unfortuantely. (ducking waiting for the abuse to fly now )

i've seem some strange uses for a spring tine but never as a grill for a fire!!!

windy and rain squals here.........could do with a tree to go and cut up!!!!

i run a sprocket nose 30" on the 088 most of the time, but do use the 48" sprocket nose when we've got some really big lumps! Never used anything else but i think its a good saw!

think ur right, you'd need to shift some serious wood to keep one of them busy! what about one of these? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK7H3HrEuts&feature=related]"Rapido Loco" Woodbine Firewood Processor (Jan. 2010 version)- CRD Metalworks - YouTube[/ame]

i started reading the last post and wondered what kinda forum this had turned into, title was on about turkey recipes and i'd read a post about manually evacuating anal glands and bum surfing..........

i use ones from 'Kramp' called farm alert, it's a 'live' tracking system and will text if the machine leaves an area or moves outside its time zones. Also you can shut machine down if you want to, more for tractors than chippers that function i should think! About £400 i think and just a sim card to top up, saved our machiery couple of times now everything new desirable to wrongs 'uns has one fitted now!!! Locking it up won't stop them, they've gone to quite long lengths to get our quad bike out its 'lock up' on two occasions, its now alarmed so i get to wake up and chase them with the landrover and a piece of 3x2 incase i'm lucky enough to offer some advice on the wrongs of stealing!!!!

Very big can of worms, i'm only going on wwhat our insurance (nfu) has written in our policy to cover the newer 50kph tractors. Part of me wishes VOSA would open it up, clear up the issues so we all know where we are. Even though we do it, i don't really agree with our big tractors not passing some kind of MOT or standard to go that fast at that weight on the public road.......but then again perhaps i don't want them to..................

i'm not sure but i think even if it ag then not cuz its 'high speed', i know this conflicts the 20mph ag rule but thats how my insurance said they'd cover the 50kph tractors with only over 21's rule..............

shouldn't think so, and remember he can't drive anything over 7.5t wether its only tractor or coupled to trailer, empty or loaded, and certainly no 50k or fastrac or even boggied (turntable at front) trailers if i remember correctly! Really diddled me off when i was 16!!! Sorry to be bearer of bad news, and i may not be 100% right as it was 13yrs ago i when i passed and now don't employ under 21's as we run some 50k kit and thats only over 21's. Seems unfair but i can see why!

First lab is my bitch 'Jazz' who follows me everywhere and will happily spend all day in the tractor snoozing so long as she gets a moment to have a good sniff about now and again, very intelligent and the only lab where food is not top of menu!! Always my dog and i will miss her very dearly when she's gone, seen many a hard time through with her!! second is 'Gus' who was a feebie as i was told he was untrainable and destructive, no wonder when at a year old they were shutting him in 10hrs a day 6days a week, he's as thick as two very short planks but is so loveable and follows the wife everywhere! Average training now, but food is definately top of the menu!! Next is 'fly' which was rescued by the wife (long before i knew her) as she couldn't be trained as a working dog and was gonna be shot, she's loopy as a box of frogs and drives me up the wall when i'm moving cattle as she's too old to teach a new trick but loves to get in the way, very fluent in "french and german" as taught on a need to get out basis! Shame she's a loving dog but no use around cows!!!! Just thought u might like to see our rabble!

looks like a bad google translation, next he'll offer to pay by money transfer and then somehow cuz i'm no techno geek he'll empty ur account!

thats the problem with hiring out, I got fed up of that when i used to hire few bits of kit out, Mr Nobody did it everytime i found. Then when our tractor and trailer got sold on whilst on hire that finished it. Haven't looked back really, i didn't charge enough proabably cuz i wasn't trying to be big at it so i don't think its really lost me much in the end!
