    This might be a stupid question. But why do you need a shed for a trailer. Is it a cattle trailer or tractor trailer?

    My goal is to have a shed for every machine as it prolongs the life of it.

    It's very nice. I've got 15 days to eat it all, nobody else in the house eats it.
    Oh woe is me :rolleyes:

    IW cow box and drop sides are always in the shed here too and shed locked to keep roving eyes off of them. Very hard for a van to draw a bale trailer away but a cow box would nearly drive itself away.

    +1. Most of the machinery and implements you'd see coming over from England really show the difference between covering them and leaving them outside.

    A man just got on the train, said hello to me by name and is now reading the farmers journal opposite me. And I know the man but cannae remember his name for the life of me, he used to buy heifers I think. Bugger. It'll annoy me all day trying to remember his name.

    Oh was pulled in by rsa this morning on way back from Tullamore. The trailer was tested last week. The only thing he could be pulled up on was wrong date on tachograph. I asked him what date did he have on it. 10th November :)
