Whelan, do you have much trouble with your phoneline/wi-fi? We are driven daft any time it rains recently the whole lot go down - I have eircom on speed dial. Haven't managed to do much for us yet, I've told them to fix the problem, reduce my bill or I'll leave them. I'm glad I haven't all my farming stuff online, as I'd be bald by now trying to do anything, there are advantages to being 'old fashioned'.

We do have that problem now and again not too often though. We had a sound eircom buck out at the house a year ago and he said it's to do with the box on the side of the house where the phone cables go in, water runs along the phone lines and into the box rusting the terminals. He replaced our box and it did improve it but that said it didn't cure it 100% a good downpour doesn't be long slowing the Internet speed.

For a personal account, internet banking is free (at least with PTSB)

But with BoI business account, internet banking costs 15 / month.

What way is the cable entering the box? By right it should go down the wall, then turn 180degrees and back up into the box so that any moisture on the line drops off at the low point away from the box

Ay they have the bend in them now the original one didn't have enough of a bend in it, he was saying alot of the older installations didn't have the proper 180 degree bend in them as it never had that much of an effect on the phones however since internet has come of age the correct installation procedure is vital as ethernet cables are much more sensitive to the elements.

Goes without saying . 3 shafts borrowed from the home place this year and the 3 of them came back missing at least half the covers . Its annoying but they have to be replaced before we will use them

good few years ago a very similar set up to that hedge cutter, witnessed something I never want to see again
,
I was helping a neighbour hang a heavy gate, tractor mounted cement mixer with no guard on shaft, their border collie ran underneath & his tail got caught ,

fast exit from this world

I like the fact that it is mounted on the right hand side. If I won the lotto tomorrow I would buy a flail for trimming behind the electric fence but the ones that I see advertised operate on the left side

Now I know that this may not be a problem for some but since I have spent most of my adult life looking over my right shoulder outta the back of a tractor, I know that it would be nigh impossible attempting the opposite.

It might be sorer on the neck to turn to the left but I wouldn't even consider a hedger working to the right, leaves you that you can't really go tidy up a bit around a road gate, well you can but having seen a few lads at it its not the best....

TBH we trim the bit of road (bank) hedge with the disc mower :eek:
The rest of the farm is in one block.

Didn't actually witness this one. Contractor cutting maize, dog gone mad chasing something in the maize, 10 seconds later red smear on top of the trailer being filled.

local guy lost an arm when it got caught in pto.. small son... 9/10yo stopped the bleeding by using baling twine and a spanner. went to the house, rang an ambulance and told his mother nothing as she was very heavily pregnant. then went and got the arm and put it in freezer as directed by ambulance crew. He got some sort of medal for bravery afterwards. Fair play to him. Saved his dads life.

you will have transport on top of that and nobody is going to haul to and from site for 6 hrs. Will surely be minimum 10. If they do they are idiots.

6 or 7 of 10/12ton diggers within 4/5km.

Now if a lad wants to charge transport fair enough, just keep going. Always another lad who will be passing. Any one day at least one of these diggers passes here. it takes 5 mins to drop ramps and take off a digger nowadays.
