This thread started out as our May Photo competition, Rear window, show us what you're at today while on the tractor, mowing/raking/fertiliser spreading or sowing etc. Remember that the landscape that we see every day, and maybe take for granted is a lot better than the view from lots of office windows. Try to include a little bit of the handle or cab frame just so we know it's genuinely taken in the cab. Cleanish windows help as well!

Last month I was negotiating around a pole.

If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

Brian is our winner with 23 votes, congrats. Seeing as BP still wants to post a photo after the deadline, I'm thinking of leaving this thread open as a 'show us what you are at today' thread? Just thank this post if you like the idea.

EDIT; Leaving this to run as there has been some interest shown, it's up to you now to post in it if you want to show us what you have been doing on the farm. June competition 'THE BULL' is here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057748826

This is something I read about on another farming forum, so yesterday we bought 3 gold fish to put in a big water tank to see if they would 1)survive and 2)eat some of the crap in there.
One of the problems with doing this is they can swim back up the pipes and block ballcocks, this tank is mainly filled with rain water straight off a roof.

Will they not just get eaten by birds?

I dunno. It's about 3 ft deep, all alive this morning anyway. Will let you know if they die/disappear.

4600 is looking well - did you say you did it up yourself?

Is it the 4600 in one photo without the cab? (The nose looks like it, but the steering wheel doesn't somehow)

We used to have one at home when I was young - it was the 'big tractor'
Always liked em...

Both are 4600s. I did up the one without the cab about 4/5 years ago, and the q cab one in 1999 and another freshen up last winter.
