Just too lazy to take it off. It's more the brackets than the loader

A loader's woeful handy to jack up a tractor. Though you've a good way of jacking compared to me.

My brother installed a small second hand water heater in the yard. It heats about 30 ltrs to whatever temp you set it at. You can have it boiling if you want.
When we were feeding larger numbers of calves we used hot water from the house that was heated by the rayburn. OH put a tap (hot water) outside the back door that we filled into a 120 ltr barrel. I bought a digital timer in Aldi a few years ago, for the water heater in the yard so we did not have to wait for the water to heat.
We are still using the water heater as the last batch of calves are on OAD.

thanks.so its ok to use water from the hot tap in the house?

Yes, why would there be a problem using it. Once you have it a the correct temperature for mixing.

The oul fitted a hot tap outsde the back kitchen window exactly for that job. That was back in the 80's. Easiest solution is always the best. Why pay for electricity when you can heat with turf?

watching that now, liverpool did very well this season, if anyone had said this time last year they would be in with a chance of winning the premier league i am sure most people would have laughed, anyways we have a place in europe for next year which is better than man united

Ah they did in fairness its just the way they threw it away. When city got fourth and fa cup three seasons ago I didn't think it could get any better than that.

Time will tell if it's a good job

If ya gave every club in the premiership a couple hundred million they would prob win it too, although spurs blew a 100 million on pure ****e

For the squad and money spent Liverpool did very well this year, next year will be interesting for them

Learn to cook a few decent meals for her Greengrass. There's a lot to be said for a rosemantic dinner for two with a candle and flowers and stuff

Plus there's the added advantage of being able to keep an eye on the cattle in the fields through the window at the same time!

I can cook. Made roast beef a few times and pork and chicken..
Feck all to it really. Through it in a pan with hot water and bung it in the cooker....simples

Although it would be more like a farmers dinner than a restaurant dinner

Yep I was watching in disbelief. Unfortunately it was the Chelsea game that lost it. Should have played defensively that day and taken the point.

A definite no go for now. There is a new generation of robots being rolled out on the next 5 yeard. I'd be better ofg buyong a second hand 14 unit and suffer the monotony/hardship until these new generation are proven on farms

Why in afew years? Why not now?? Your tied down enough with dairying as is milking 14 times a wk most weeks anyways, if you can't justify getting in a milker every so often then your doing something wrong. And before you mention your dad ha, it shouldn't be his decision at all, even if he disapproves at 1st it doesn't matter, he'll quickly adjust to it. Your better off get it out of the way now and letting him know that you getting a milker in randomly is going to be part of the deal of you working at home, than hold off until "sometime in the future" , because what happens is suddenly afew years do slip by and you realise you were an utter slave to the farm when you should have been having fun ha!

also no harm having someone trained in to your farm if an emergency arises

Don't feel I really need it tbh. It doesn't bother me at the minute being tied to milking. Might bother a lot of other lads alright. I'd prefer have all my facilities set up and running a good operation by the time I'm hitting my late 20's.
Notions....I know

I don't know taking it easy tbh. Any way its summer now so once first cut silage us out if way and majority if breeding is done I'll have loads of free time in evenings to go off.

Not like I'm stuck at home everyday of the week. I'd be at something 4/7 nights a week away from home
