    On the bonnet of the tractor?

    Close. Remember I said, I was working from the roof of the tractor ..... well last night I went to put the laser level on the roof again and there it was, along with 2 other spanners.
    They never fell off and I've been out on the road drawing cattle and everything for the last 2 weeks.

    I now have to.go and tell my neighbours. :D

    I lost the middle ratchet of my teng tools set.
    Changing an alternator.
    Clean yard. Middle of the day . No trace at all.
    The dog is always with me, he had a habit of picking up buckets, dog bowls , milk bottles etc etc and I find them in the silage !!! I can only blame him for it.
    I have d set 15 years and it pains me everytime i open it to see the missing ratchet.

    Had some fencing to do but no time to do it. Got a lad in with this yoke. Never marked the ground and we had two serious days rain. He has changed the controls so he can drive it from outside and doesn’t have to be climbing in and out.

    He ordered it from China, he said it was a nervous wait on it coming. Plenty of them for sale in England without having to go to China. They use them for planting the rice paddies.

    Found this on Facebook

    No idea who or where this is but it's genius. It solves a problem that doesn't exist but I still like it.

    Sorry bout all the individual posts.internet connection is very poor.
    Rough and ready contraption but it's doing great job and cost next to nothing to put together.
    Even the plates of steel welded on for the pins were cut from the h iron as I had nothing strong enough to use at hand!

    Using an image hosting site like flickr.com makes posting a lot of photos together much easier.

    Good job on the lane though.

    This a pretty basic one, drives me mad trying to fill the ad blue into the car, takes so long due to the vacuum caused.

    Recently I started sticking a knife in one corner to let the air in, but that’s messing. Then on the last drum I saw this, let’s the air in but not liquid out. Some job, very simple
