    Spent the day driving tractors, a knackered ould zetor and a far more powerful kubota. Great craic being bob the builder for the day :)

    The Crystals were a great tractor only your back wheel could come of easy as there was only one nut holding in the half shaft..

    This one was a 9640, guy that owns it had a crystal back in the day. It was a beast compared to the 135s, 188s and Ford 4000s that were around, he then got 2 Ursus 1014 De Luxe's which if memory serves were rejigged Zetors anyway. Again, an animal of a yoke at the time.

    The kubota was such a nice little tractor (M105S) but the cabin is tiny on them.

    Ya the Ursus were basically Zetors again. That Kuboto must have been tiny because they mostly make those little tractors..

    Certainly the 306's were big at one stage. I can still remember the pain in my arms from trying to hammer the stub axles off to adjust the torsion bars on them.

    The schools are back, so the lunatics have taken over the road.

    Some plank in an A4 this evening, decided that reversing the wrong way up the road was a good idea.

    The lights for the oncoming traffic then went green and he nearly caused chaos with a bus that ended up on the pavement.
