    It'll be granlime rather than lime I'd say. Rangler..

    The ground is too steep / awkward for a big lime spreader...

    More expensive tho... :(

    You'll get benefit this year though, what's the Ph of the soil

    Water - 5.4, 5.5, 5.7, 6.0
    Buffer - 5.9, 6.0, 6.2, 6.4

    Can anyone tell me what the two readings are?
    I am goin by the low one anyways...

    The lime recommendations ton/ha are
    10.0, 8.75, 6.25, 3.75

    Atill waiting on results from two other fields - getting further analysis done on em (SR3 from sheet here - http://www.fba-labs.com/userfiles/file/soil-analysis.pdf)
    As much for curiosity as anything else...

    The first is the sample diluted in distilled water. the second is with a buffer solution

    Think it's the water one
    And the buffer is a guide as to how hard it will be to get to ph 6.5

    A multi wick is the flexible attachment that joins your toilet bowl to the sewage pipe.

    Ok. Never heard that term. Would just call it a flexi connection. I've used and fitted before. Like that had trouble with first one and had to get a different brand. Some are better quality than others. No worse smell that an open sewer smell!!

    Was thinking of looking at a Ford 4610 tomorrow it's column change. I was looking at previous posts here and it would put me off. Should I keep away- any thing to look out for?
    I'll not be doing any heavy work with it. He says it's in good mechanical order and its not big money.
    anybody any advise?

    If it had a loader on it the front axle is probably in a bad way. Column change might be ok if it was an owner-operator. Check to see does the pto go off when it's supposed to. If it's priced right they are a miser on diesel as a runabout.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Yes. Groan.

    In the 4610 would the body work be big work of rough?
    I'm heading to look at it after and wouldn't be the most mechanical. So that's why the questions.

    I had a 4wd ford 7610 reg 1983. It had the column gearstick and I had a rossmore loader on it. I had it 7 years and never had any trouble.
    I thought it was real handy with the gear change there.
    I suppose it's how rough you are on a tractor as well.
    When I traded it in against the tractor I have now it was sold in 4 days.

    I'm usually all for eating every part of the animal but my mother was given two pork tongues the other day and I'm stumped. Brine? Slow cooked in cider?

    Mum is disgusted by them, she won't even touch 'em :D

    Langue = tongue
    Clous de girofle = cloves

    The rest you'll figure out.

    Every part has its place. I believe that if we grow it, we eat it. Hence I eat every part and make use of it if I can! :P
