It might be the rational explanation, given the eurofighter crashes (reported) today over Germany.
They collided in mid air and hit the ground 10km between each other. That'd be a fair big debris area.
One pilot was safe other pilot Chinese news reported came down in parts.
Another eurofighter had the incident recorded on film.
Training exercise.

Plenty of farmers been killed by detonating unexploded bombs.
One of the guys worked near an old refinery that was bombed on the south coast near Portsmouth-ish would regularlly find bombs on cultivator points, he used to say they laughed at bomb disposal guys creeping up to them after they'd bashed them about for how ever long before it was noticed.

There’ll be a bit of a farming theme. A Landini was offered as the ‘something blue’ but herself wasn’t game for it and we had a Jag lined up already.

Yeah, Base Price, we can only do so much, if people aren’t happy they know where to go!

Had a 15 year old cow drop dead in front of me last night. The ups and downs of farming eh? She was pinning away for the last few weeks. She went down on one knee and just keeled over. One of the first heifers I bought when I got into suckling and propably the best. Kept 2 cows from her. Funny thing is she was fierce quiet with me but would attack anyone else. Had her in one day for AI and the AI man had to get 2 passing neighbours to help corner her. Both told me afterwards that she was stone mad and to get rid of her. Must be getting soft in my old age.:o

What's the story with digger's on done deal lately? 10k for a 15 ton, and a 3 ton for the same money, are they pure wreckers or what?

Ya, that's her. Thought she pulled up a bit lately as she started to eat a bit of meal. Her stomach was swollen up before she died. Was putting her in for the vet when she collapsed.

Hi folks, not sure if this needs it's own thread.

Looking at getting the young lad up and going. Has no driving licence yet but has experience around the farm.

Would I be right and saying he can drive a single seat tractor on the road under a provisional licence?

And does can someone maybe link me or explain to me the process of going from having no licence to getting the provisional and also tractor licence that would allow him to drive on the roads. (on his own in the tractor) Won't be going to far in it and wouldn't be a big tractor either.

Regards
Bob

He has to do the theory test first and pass it. www.theorytest.ie Then make an appointment at any driving licence centre to get the licence.

So just pass the theory test and then apply for tractor licence.

Great news if so, thanks for the reply.

There are apps out there to practice the theory test I think you need 36 out of 40 to pass. It's not too easy. If you don't get the pass you have to repeat which could take up to a month to get another appointment

ConfusedFarmer · 25-06-2019 6:04pm

Read this there on citizen information

"If you have a learner permit for a work vehicle you should not carry a passenger unless the vehicle is designed to do so, and the passenger is a qualified driver who has held a driving licence for a work vehicle for at least 2 years."

So that will cover him to drive the tractor on his own for the year or whatever it takes to pass the full test.

Tractor dosen't need to be single seater, they just can't carry any unlicensed passengers.

I'm fairly sure that a public service card is required as an identity source when dealing with the licensing authority. If you make an appointment with your local social welfare office they'll complete the application process with you.

We had to get the psc last year. I think it has changed now and is not a requirement to do the theory test. I may be wrong though. Just googled and as and from August 2018 last no longer required

Yea.
I had to do it recently as I want to add BE to my licence. Some of the questions are very obscure indeed and would need explaining in depth to a non driver.

16yo here is studying the book and she plans to do the test before holidays are over.

When you’re going to the bother of the BE test.
Would you consider doing C followed by CE
For 1 additional test you’ll have gained C C1 BE C1E CE

More bull****e ...

Stop the trucks” is a nonviolent direct action encouraging people to be present in the face of what they claim is injustice. Activists are attempting to stop the trucks on a public road for a few minutes "to bear witness to nonhuman animals" en route to slaughter.

I see our ex jailed uk animal rights activist ucd lecturer is supporting same.

Cant understand how someone like that ever there tbh..

Went with my 16 yr old to get public services card. Fella on counter wouldn't give him one until i got one myself, so we both got a card even though I don't need it. Luckily he done them both there and then,
