All good, bit of a learning curve for sure.
Cpl of niggles, could do with a bit more weight on the arse currently looking at options.
No cup holder @Gunners !

When is yours arriving?

Large cupholder out the back, two birds one stone

 

[Furniss]

More gardening

Did you get involved with the gabions Jerry ?

 

[V8Druid]

Never!!
It is an amazing purchase from @JD450A last year. Anyone’s guess what it came off as it is a bit of a monster on the 3tonne digger. Had to cut and hot glue a new headstock on it and the auger is from Augertorque with a new head welded on to adapt to the 2inch hex drive. Will need to sort some hoses out if I want to put it on the kobelco!!

looks to me like a polecat drive and auger

Yard tidy up week after 1.5 years of it getting silly, trying to remember sticks after about 3 years of not doing anything with them

I always find its 3 hours in on a 3cx that I end up looking like a tit. You just think you've got it and it all goes Pete.

Bit of time after work, got a fair few rings split and fired up the dexta for the first time in god knows how long

Yes put them in just before lockdown, when i still had the noddy zero swing Volvo, local Kent Ragstone in the front rear filled with crap hardcore, tricky to keep straight and square, made space for two new builds, buyer just moved in.(can't rotate 3rd pic )

Some proper deep litter boxes. The stallions must have been touching the roof! Little Sherpa working the hardest she ever has I reckon.

The ranger tipper making the haul a bit easier- it’s so much quicker off-road than a tractor. Fifty of these to do

Look good - someone has asked me to get involved doing some, will obviously dépend on the quality of the basket but how long do they give the ones you used there ? Presumably galvanized?

The mesh lasts a lot longer than the little clips that hold it together we hand tie the joints to reinforce them with stainless or galvanized wire in quite a thick gauge.

There were three different wire thicknesses available, from memory 3 4 5mm I think we used 4mm the thinner the wire the harder it is to keep them straight, we also ran wires internally to stop them bulging and used continuous spirals to connect the corners which saved a lot of time and are stronger, think they were stainless.
We’ve done a few now bit time consuming to get them looking decent, good use of a tiltrotator can be made placing the stone.

I bet that smells nice

I bet it smells better than the owners. Scruffy bastards.

 

[DaveDCB]

They have 50 horses in boxes like that? I don’t like horses but I’d at least muck them out more than once a year!

 

[AHPP]

Unless they’ve rotated one horse through fifty boxes so they only need to muck out once a lifetime.

Taking some pebbles home tonight, for a pond job coming up.
Technical question: is that legal ?
Edit : maybe a strap over the stones ?

i more or less started out on a 3c and have always been ok back on x pattern but on a backhoe plus pattern like massey or ford really struggle, 360 is fine just cant get the plus into my head despite driving a case 580 for years, just addles my brain.

doubt the Gendarmerie are as big a bunch of tw*ats as we have here ........ having said that .......
I once watched one beat seven shades out of some Brit's bonnet, with his baton, giving him the full verbal in French, as he came down a one way the wrong way in Nice .... with a caravan on the back .... no way could he back up in a hurry

 

[AHPP]

Failing to see problem.

 

[JD450A]

No need to back up, it's a Frenchman. They will simply surrender if you keep moving forward..... Particularly if your in das deutsh auto
