Cheers Ed

 

[young Ed]

sorry for the bad photo quality and sorry that this field look a bit shabby (they don't all look that bad but this was a bad crop and i've a feeling the machines were playing up. but it's the only photo i managed to snap during hay season so far

that's roughly what we've been playing about with
Cheers Ed

 

[young Ed]

that was taken from the top of a hay trailer

You'd time to take pictures! Can't be working you that hard then.

Glasses & Smartie tubes, with Mad Doug on one thread, sh_t on here.
Who says the threads are all the same stuff?

Would the farms be up Slack Top?

From Slack Top along Widdop Rd for a couple of miles, either side.

That'd give @young Ed a decent view, whilst testing his driving.

Yes, it was was rather splendid in the sunshine yesterday looking across to Walshaw over the top of Hardcastle Crags.

oh yeah forgot to mention, i've been having great fun with the boss playing a game of piss off the drivers! hahaha

he sits ahead of me in the more modern, more powerful tractor with a big hay trailer stacked sky high and no drivers behind can see either side of his trailer whilst i'm behind him in a little, old shi**y tractor with a loader and big bale grab on the front and the brakes are virtually non existent.
the boss then pisses me off by accelerating away so he sits 3 or 400m in front of me.
a driver then comes up behind me and eventually overtakes, slightly grumpy by this time. then he meets my boss just up the road and can't go anywhere so will sit there for a a mile or two until we get back to the farm

great fun and puts a smile on our faces
Cheers Ed

a shame the law doesn't allow you to box in the irate chumps and take pot shots at them with air rifles.

The Little Grey Fergie is considered a "sh_tty little tractor by some.
What's wrong with using the diff breaking?

Said the smaller tractors are the work horses though.

There's other means of getting a better tractor!

oh yeah, by all means are the old girls work horses. they all pull more then their fair share compared to a modern equivalent of their size.
the ol' grey fergies and sh*tty at all (unless they're the scraper tractor on a dairy farm!) a legend and beast in it's own right


the little, old sh*tty tractor i drive to pee off car drivers is an old squeking, rattling, shaking, noisy, no brakes dangerous ford 4000. it's the one in the the picture if you can just about make it out

by diff breaking i assume you mean what i know as engine breaking? well it's alright when you don't need to stop in a hurry and you're about to overshoot the entrance to your bosses yard and then you remember you were going to reverse in anyway so it's alright and just as your reversing in your about to hit the gate post and some how miraculously miss it by a half inch or so

i tell that scenario so well it's almost like i've been there in real life! haha
