    A horse with a sense of class.
    Donkeys and dubs, I like his taste.

    The cruising horses had all the ability in the world but they just had a mind of their own and if you could steer them around a course and get them to work with you instead of against you you'd be flying.
    But most of the top showjumping stallions and bloodlines were like that.
    Another way of putting it is highly spirited and easily spooked.

    Quick question.

    I've a MF135 and a vicon 400/500?wagtail.

    I want to put a bag to acre out in a field and 2.5 in another.

    My only way is calculate area of field and only put that amount.

    I've the opening set to my index finger fitting through.

    What gear should I be in? How high the revs? And how high should the wagtail be off the ground. Thanks in advance.

    Have a mf 35 and abbey wagtail here. Spread in 2nd high, aprox 1500 rpm, lift up to the max or very close to optimise the spread. Aprox 15 to 20 ft between one round and the next. Only way you will figure out bags to acre is trial and error unless something online. Once figured out write down for future reference

    Ya, same as that except I keep the lines close to get her and not awful high revs, we don't gave a revs click but you'd sorta know by the sound of it

    I'd love to hear lads views on climate change. There's always a few good articles in farming info on it. I thought a good debate around carbon credits and taxes. Whether it should be the producing country or the consumer that should get taxed.

    Makes a joke of it when we reduce stock to reduce emissions and other countries the go and reclaim more land by burning another 100000ha of rainforest......heard it described as' burning monkeys' a few years ago

    An Taisce are not very good when it comes to science and reason.

    Carbon Credits.
    Taxes.
    Climate Change.
    More money for me.

    It's all Bull***t. It's being brought in by the E.U and only in the E.U to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. There's not a noble aspiration or deed in any of it.

    Yep; similar to the EU turf-cutting ban, stopping people harvesting their own local fuel resource so that they can buy and burn oil shipped half way round the world from the Middle East instead - Not too hard to calculate which of those options has the bigger "Carbon Footprint"!
    But, funny enough the option Government were pushing results in the greater tax take;;; hmmm

    You'll be nursing the ribs for a long time. Sneezing and laughing are killers :-)

    Oh, I've a tip for you. Hug a pillow or cushion when you sneeze or laugh it helps a lot!

    Two weeks ago i was getting the hooves of a few cows pared, the last one is very quiet but just wouldn't go into the crate. Ended up having to push her in, she went in eventually but i felt something pop in my ribs as i was pushing her.
    It's still sore now, you're right about the sneezing, it's a killer alrite.
    I assume you did something similar, how long did it take for the pain to go away?

    Broke two ribs many years ago, dreadfully painful breathing, moving or basically doing anything.
    As above, coughing, sneezing or laughing are unbearable.

    Oh had an appointment at dentist for 1. No word from him at half 2. He was getting an extraction done and the tooth broke. Ended up get surgery and 8stitches in his gum ! I'd say it will be sore when the anesthetic wears off

    It's a hard one to call. It depends on the exact damage and the extent of the damage. But certainly two months. It's unbelievable how you're using your core without thinking about it.

    Did the dentist do the surgery or is it a hospital job ?

    What's it fir a normal extraction. eighty?
    Was it wisdom or molar. The difference between the premolar and molar is huge anyway, got 3 premolar pulled which was nicer than the one molar
