It seems to be a contagious thing. That was a different machine on a different farm!

Just do it,
Super looking job. i recon every meter of road is more valuable than a sqm of roof and that's on the best of ground. You will not believe the flexibility this will give you.

I think you said that you have an off farm job, and if so how important was this in the financing of the project?

I don't know where you are based but if i was ever passing I'd love to call and pat you on the back for your pioneering spirit. I have been following your posts with interest esp. in grass measuring and i think you could change your username to 'Just got it'

Best of luck keep up the good work, your neighbours will think your mad but that is an indication that you are doing things right!!

When you are doing that have a pig tail post or a something similar,so you will have them all at the same height and it will look more professional.Would like to be here on farm forum more often ,have learnt a lot from ye all,but a close neighbour is having a difficult time for these last few months and trying to help as much as I can.

Yes when everyone is running in one direction you should be walking slowly the opposite way

A great tip! That track machine has driven the majority of posts in the place already. Especially handy for strainers. I wasn't around the last day he was here when he fixed up the crossings and he was I'm a rush away. He's coming back on Tuesday and I'll have plenty posts for him to drive then

Good idea with the pigtail for height. I like attention to detail like that (anal comes to mind :rolleyes:).

Fair deuce to you helping out your neighbour. I think we all like to think we would do it but in reality few of us would give up as much time as it sounds you are.

Did you strip the topsoil first just do it or did you lay the stuff straight on the field?

Straight on. It was bog ground with varying depth of peat.

Spotted this lad on my travels on Saturday. He was driving up and reversing down this steep hill spreading a bit of fertiliser. The front wheels were bouncing up and down!

Me either, I thought it was just my laptop but I think you posted your upload link rather than the posted video. Put up the right one so we can all be jealous;)

There's a video on youtube of a vicon (I think) spreader with wheels added to it, good idea for a small tractor.
