Did it taste good?

haha, just realised this lack of sleep is getting to me and i posted the same thing yesterday!
'nother few months till i can report on the taste

Good luck @young Ed , you sound like you have your head screwed on, and aren't afraid of hard work.
Answer me one thing though, when did tractors get so flipping big?
They used to be a sensible size, now they are 'literally' the size of a house.

Here's a sensible Spanish tractor, just for the tractor enthusiasts amongst you.

me, afraid of hard work? hell no! i struggle to cope on 'days off'

i'd say tractor got big around the mid to late '70s with the 100 or so+hp massey fergusons etc i am looking at tractors for sale at the moment as i will be in the market in a few years and i am looking at a massey 3080 1993 with a loader, about 95 hp and 4WD

the massey 3080 i'm looking at

or another classic that i will always admire and awww at, the ford TW series from the late 70's-early 80's

ford tw10-123hp

or my favourite TW, the 25

Ford TW25- 156hp

and finally the biggest of the ford TW's, the TW35

or with double rears?

Ford TW 35- 192hp of sheer brute!!!

Said you'd be burning the midnight oil.
Pace yerssen.

And the early Ford TW's were known for the front parting company with the rest of the tractor.
Leaving only the diff lock to steer with, as long as there was weight on the back end.

Don't worry about all the poncy stuff!

Has your tractor got one of these?
