You'll plough your way through the Test with narry a furrowed brow,, no problem y.Ed. Don't forget to leave mud all over the road and sacksful of thorny nibbets if you do a hedge mowing test. Bloody farmers.

However tough it gets, don't bale.

 

[young Ed]

haha, thanks all! tractors not allowed to leave mud on the road during the test whilst the examiner is there but i'm sure i can find some on the way home just for you and i'm sure i can borrow some
ones hedge cutter for some out of season illegal hedge cutting!

Quite right, it shouldn't be harrowing.

doesn't sound like the test should be, but i am actually thinking of getting a harrow to spruce up the field a bit, hasn't seen such for god knows how many years. not in the last 25 years that we've owned it

Well??? how did it go?

 

[young Ed]

great, i passed!
you better al watch out now theirs a mad man on the roads of kent!
i got 8 minor mistakes out of the 15 allowed. stuff like i stalled it 3 times (not really used to the small engine and high gearing on that tractor), a bit wide on the reversing round a junction i should have been closer to the curb, moving off a bit late after checking behind etc, wrong lane to start with frirt time round the round about
didn't know one road sign, no stopping or something like that. but my highway code was perfect i was great at that he said so all good there!
Cheers Ed

i must say you do get some weird looks when you rock up in your local village in a tractor just as mums are coming in to pick up kids from school and i just park up and pop in to get my dads paper from the village shop and then sit their in the tractor with the doors open in the sun reading the local advertiser!
