Is the backhoe loader a thing of the past?

Fen ditches are straight sometimes for miles and are definitely on show. The drainage boards this side of the country don’t even like to see a line between pulls.

That's because nature works in straight, level, pumb, ocd ways...🫣

Fen operators have a better chance too. They can get out and Smear over the lines with their webbed feet

So did Vermuydaen and Vernatts when they were digging them.

Yeah, but you boys from the west have got more fingers to pull on the levers.

That was only an advantage up to the late 13/6 - 4550's and MF 50B's..... no help now.

Got this pile was saving for bonfire night and there will be a bit more green stuff to be ripped out. Suppose I should burn it before jcb comes in a week or 2 but promised the kids a big fire and neighbours won't complain if on that night.

He's gonna push it out of the way in 10 mins and drag it back to middle once we've cleared the plot isn't he? Or am I giving myself a headache. Been burning timber with nails in the tin so no punctures. Bonfire pile all veg
