2 new back tyres on it. will get 2 new front ones next week

Have you tubes in them?

just a reminder if annoying one is blowing up a wheel, NEVER stand in front of the tyre. pump to recommended pressure let it settle for a minute then take off valve.

theres tubes in the back ones, he reckons the tube is being pinched by the lugs on the tyre

Either that or he isn't checking the rim or tyre as the slightest piece of anything sticking out will punters a rubber tube under pressure

That's a big looking shotgun what did it fire was it a home made ammunition like nuts and bolts or a proper missiles smuggled in.

Anyone ever buy one of those shipping containers for use as a lock up? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Genghis, I bought one when i was building the house for storing materials in as i wasn't living on the farm at the time. Had great plans to sell it when the house was built, but still have it and find it extremely useful for putting the strimmer, chainsaw, ladders and general stuff in. Cheaper than building a garage.
The father's always making comments about how great it would be to blow a load of sawdust into, or use for bags of meal but he's not getting it, as i have pallet racking that i might put into it for shelving.
Its an old refrigerated one with chequered plate floor and pvc sides, so no real condensation issues which may be the case with the proper steel ones.
Heavy enough brute of a thing and its only fifteen feet long, need the track machine to move it, although I brought it 30 miles on a tri axle flat bed behind the jeep, but it was a scary enough load as they sit higher than you think.
Gave £550 for it as far as i can remember off gumtree.

We were looking into drilling another well as the water here has iron in it. Heard about 75% grant, rang up about it and if mains water is passing your house you cant get the grant:cool:

Anyone know what these are.

Spot them from time to time in fields and am puzzled as to what they are

Condensation is a probelm in them...

Rightly annoyed this evening. Spotted the young bull I bought last June with a wart on his rod a few weeks back and it's gone so big now that he can't pull in the top of his rod and I'm going to have to get a vet to remove it. Not sure if he will be any good for breeding after it. Herding today then and the old bull has pneumonia however he managed to get it. Empty, ears hanging, panting and snotty, hopefully he will be alright. Auld lad drove through them on the quad this morning and never copped him whatever he was looking at.
