Hi thanks for the comments.

we upgraded last year after a long time using a chain harrow so nowt wrong with a grass chain harrow!

I got fed up withe snow 2 years a go, it took us a full day to clear our farm road with 3 tractors and trailers 2 loadalls and 3 13t excavators :relief:
The plow takes a bit to get used to with its width.

Yes more than happy for you come and have a look, it just might inspire you. :thumbsup: I do a fair amount of contracting for smallholders and fellow equine owners in and around the stirling area. it works out better for a lot of smallholders to get me into do selected jobs but while still being involved in the process and without them forking out all the cash for the bigger kit. charge a resonable price and everones happy :excited:

Here is my crew planting potatoes in 2011 on my 1956 grey gold ferguson. I have a similar photo of the same tractor and planter with my dad at the wheel and me on the back in 1978....when the tractor was only 22 years old !

That all looks very clean and bright stufe35.
I so wanted to  post a photo of our new little Truck but its on my I pad.....but one good bit of kit is the little diamond shaped log splitter.....that goes through tough logs easily, and our little truck can pull them along!

Hi Happygolucky, it will be good to see your pics once you transfer them over. What kind of truck do you have?

Team up a quad with your truck and there will be no stopping you :excited: Just think how much shopping you could fit in that wow :thinking:

Love it, I wonder if it will pull me along, we  have it to use in the forests as we paid for a long awaited foraging permit and its such fun as we take the dogs along too!!

Wagons roll :roflanim:

oh what a vision....

When we first moved to where we are we did the FC scavenging thing but found it a nightmare as its so difficult to get the wood out then we tried the road side pick up but they banned chainsaws...... so it ended up with the loader tractor and a long drive.

We have moved on to get lorry deliverys as its much easier and we can get the right size of wood for our processor.
