Trying to find a drain to tie my new toilet into. Thought I’d found it at 650 but no that was the rainwater. Foul is at 900 deep. The joys

Bob the builder, can he fix it??

Maybe, steep learning curve though 🫣

No sniggering at the back, I never said I was any good! Filling in a load of ruts and reprofiling the gateway slightly so the water should go into the ditch rather than the gully.

Then I filled her up. Gulp. I swear I’ve barely used it but the tank was half empty- and it’s a big tank! Also fitted the new screw latch to the side panel and put it back on. I also replaced the springs inside the back window latches and lubed them up with dry moly on the slide and greased the bearings, which was a roaring success and hopefully the window will stop falling on my head now.

This is the thing with bigger gear- they seem to cuff the fuel compared with mini's. I've done 3 days work (not flat out digging but plenty of tracking about etc) and have used half a tank (not much more than a jerry) in the TB228. Its pennies, so slightly sticks in the gullet when chucking can after can in the 8 tonner in a morning and not really feeling like your getting the corresponding amount of work out of it. Great when it's doing the business but using a sledgehammer to crack a nut becomes expensive.

Attacking some stumps in my garden today mighty dx10 did ok with some assistance.

Neighbour has been asking me to do some work for him on field back of ours, but been too busy. He’s hired an e10 got delivered this morning text me to be on call incase he messed up, he’s a doctor at baby hospital but grew up on a Scottish farm. 10.30 rang me to come get it unstuck, bogged it in a wet bit. Got it out in a few mins got him back ditching haha

On the council I could get 3 days before risking running the 432 out.

Roughly 40 l was easy day, 70 l was full on. Tramping burns some.

As I've said previously, as much as it was my favourite/go to machine. Removing red was sort of the last nail for it.
