    Is there room for an ice box in the tractor? Plenty of chilled water is the only job.

    It’s 24*C at the moment.
    Weedkiller won’t work due to the heat, so for the last three days I’ve been weeding swedes. I’ve one bed left.
    The heat is taking it’s toll.

    All tractors should have sunroof and side windows. The air con won't be working in any tractor come 30 years time and it will be too dear to fix.

    Had to get out of the tractor. ISIS would tell ya all there secrets with less torture. Can ya retro fit air conditioning in an old tractor. Like driving around in a glass house with hair dryers blowing at ya. Sunroof welded shut from previous owner. I can mow an other day.

    Was thinking of doing a bit of licking tomorrow instead. Its not bad being on the quad. Would it be to hot for licking?

    Too hot for licking, rush won't absorb the stuff fast enough, it'll just dry on the stem. Unless you can lick at 10pm or 5am or that.

    Wouldn't know a temp but when you're comfortable standing in the field yourself and know you won't get sunburn. So 15/16/17?! :pac:
    More to do with letting the liquid be absorbed and not dried onto the stems so wind etc would change the temp.

    Spent the day in A&E with daughter. If the illness didn't get ya the heat definitely would. and she couldn't eat/drink in case it was her appendix! Home about an hour and both of us killed out - a day on the tractor would have been preferable. She's okay but it will take me the rest of the week to get over it!

    I see other people on the weather forum are getting the same smell too.
    The possibility they came to is cooking tree sap with the heat.

    We had a group of Latvian farmers on tour yesterday. So I took a little break while I was heading down the field, I stopped in the gap which is surrounded by trees, it’s nice and shady and I got much the same funny smell. I thought I was either losing it or it was from my pipe.
    Yee both have solved the mystery.

    Checked cows on the outfarm this morning and they had the drinker pucked down the field, ballcock off but the arm wasn't snapped which was very strange. Very thirsty too but water running into the gripe from the pipe off the joint.

    And what had the fcukers done. Restricted the water supply and told the houses, not the farms. There's a chap that rings us giving out of we have a leak even for half a day. He'll get rightly fcuked out of it next time he rings :mad:

Just really bloody annoying that they critisise us for a leak and then they go and do something like that which could have caused serious issues with stock. And they'll have no issue ending out the bill :rolleyes:
