    I understand need to scrap non slatted passages out to a tank but slatted passages do they really need to be constantly scaped like that. Seems unnecessary.

    He scrapes them because he get can get away without liming cubicles, finds them cleaner to scrape slats and not lime cubicles

    If I'm ever getting an audit from revenue I want that tractor to be the first thing he sees!

    I have one that looks a bit like that on the outside. Much more visibility as half the cab is rotted away but she is mechanically tip top

    The most likely explanation of that machine is quite simple. That machine seen action in Desert Storm in 1992. Then on its way back to the US, it must have fallen out of the back of a plane at shannon.

    You have no idea how close to the truth you are with that insight

    Plenty of farmers out there that could well afford a decent tractor yet spend their lives in a yoke like that instead of a decent warm cab with a radio and have a bit of comfort for themselves.

    Life’s too short not to have a bit of comfort not to mention the health impact of sitting in a cold draughty yoke for a few hours.

    Years ago, a contractor I know used to take the radios out of new/second hand tractors when he bought them. He reckoned that you couldn't hear a problem with a machine if the radio was on until it was too late and a lot of damage was done.

    i know a fella who used to work for a family of some devout church in the uk. He had a company car with the job as a salesman and when he went to collect it the radio was missing and there was a shelf installed with a bible instead lol.

    I’d agree with that. When I’m mowing silage or doing anything pto related I never have the radio on much and all as I’d like to. I know a truck driver who says the very same . Your ears are very important with machinery.
    I have become an expert at stopping my tractor dead at the first sound of chugging when the diesel gets low. Have not had air lock in years. Touch wood. Couldn’t do that with a radio blaring.

    Ah c’mon now, ya know what I mean. Sur why bother with the tractor at all so, a wheelbarrow, a shovel and spade will get it all done albeit a bit longer.

    I do, my comment wasn't meant to be cutting, I should have added a ;)

    Its all relative though - a lad with a nice new 150+ HP tractor might look at your machine and say waste of time, even though it does everything you want it to... :)
