Yeah the neighbour has a whole herd of them. The cows are as big as a normal bull

Fields that got limed yesterday - 2T/acre and you wouldn't even see it. not a drop wasted compared to the older rear discharge type spreaders where it would cover hedges and the neighbours fields.

Some yoke, just like a big dribble bar.

Nice neat job. What kind of spreader was it?

Bredal/KRM with spreader bar, held 12T but he had it with nearly 14T on it, so on the last load the whole outfit had to be pulled to the field with a Hitachi 120, as the Valmet pulling the Case wasn't fit for it.

Lovely calf. Is that the dam behind him? Do I see a French cow there as well?

Thanks Genghis, I was being interviewed on the farm for Countryfile a couple of years back and Adam says to me, you've got great scenery here and i turned to him and says Adam "you can't eat scenery". I've never heard the end of it since from lads round here.

It just might make misery more palatable though!
It's beautiful but a tough landscape.

How often do ya put lime out on that field?is that recommended amount

AntrimGlens

First time i've ever known it to get lime, although the father would have spread slag on them in years gone by. We actually have a seam of limestone under the upper part of the farm and there are two old small lime kilns on the farm where previous generations would have burnt the limestone and spread it by hand or horse drawn cart

When I was a kid I thought the MB tracs were the coolest thing ever. Still think I'd get one if I won the lotto

Same here, a brute of a yoke that has the turning circle of a super tanker but I wouldn't mind turning up to the local vintage rally with a "merc"

There's one locally here, used to be 2 but one was sold out of the area! They were supposed to be the wonder of the world on the roads about here, would leave every thing sitting untill they came to the hills when the old slow lady's would trundle on past due to lower gearing
