" kid in a sweet shop "

yeah, I'm going to miss this place!

Blew a hose on the steering ram (3cx) a week ago, so now I'm back in the land of cheap hoses, I went shopping. Decided to replace all the hoses in that area on the assumption they will all be in poor condition (plus a couple for the slew rams).
Total price: 50gbp

Always think Thats gotta be the most laughable "let's come up with the best idea" meeting ever...imagine the bloke that said let's stick it on the back of a 747 sniggers all round..

There had to be either a muckshifter or farmer in that meeting.

You know that feeling when you reach out to grab a piece of steel you put down not long ago - then you decide it's not that urgent.

What is it ? ...........


150 × 10 ?

A mate did a season on combines in Aus and still has flashbacks of spotting a broken drive belt curled up and only just stopped himself grabbing it

nah - nothing so serious. 35 x 6.
Just a pocket sized snake. It's a pit viper, but I'm not confident I've identified it beyond that.

only just stopped himself grabbing it

Very hard to get here is 45° hydraulic fittings. I've finally tracked some down to get hoses made, but the quality is a little questionable.
(the price is £1.75 each)
