    Lad was in France recently and couldn't believe the dust around the harvesters as they worked, said the biggest problem they must have is fire!!

    Will you sprinkle a bit of water over it to make up for that lost weight? :rolleyes:

    Nearly died with the heat in the cab of the tractor today

    Air conditioning went in the forager in 30 degree heat yesterday, I couldn't stop laughing at the veins popping out of the driver's head. I'm not even sure if I'm pulling a trailer half the time with all the dust.

    Yep. I would be better advised to replace the cracking cv joint, before worrying about the dust :D

    Thankfully the 880 has doors that can be clipped open and provided some respite from that dead heat. Drawing in bales most of the day and am bitten to bits by clags. Had to go to the agri store to get a drum of hydraulic oil before it closed -

    It'll make sure you don't get rose tinted glasses about 20 year old tractors when you're sitting up in your brand new tractor with all the creature comforts

    Drops just starting to fall here now... Only light so far... We'll see if it develops into much... It might not...

    Pity, as a lot of hay down around the place...

    They're a bit too numerous around here for my liking.....as if we needed it. Ground had soaked well in the last two days.
    Was going to put on the mower an hour ago and drop 2 paddocks but the clouds were gathering.
    Put on the fertilizer spreader instead!
    Will revisit the idea of putting on the mower again tomorrow....

    Just started sporting with rain here. Not a good sky either. One of the neighbours tedded a nice bit of second cut twice today. If luck was with him at all he'd have had some seriously good quality bales. Not looking great for him now. Forecast isn't too bad. He'll get to salvage it but it won't be a patch on what he'd have had if the rain held off.

    He's another fella with a very dry farm so he probably doesn't know whether he's getting a pat on the head or a kick in the hole with the rain coming.
