Can you not fix the puncture with dog turds (puncture string stuff)?

They are brilliant - get a kit off Amazon, you’ll be back in the game within half an hour.

Missed this one (6m x 600mm) as I cant get there fast enough which is a shame. Deal at £100. Looking online and it does fetch silly money, plenty asking over £400 a length. I can buy new from local JDP for £379+vat.

Yeah those big ones get expensive quick. I installed a 900m one for a culvert a while back and think it was around a grand for 6meters

Got a present for the old saw - new bar and chain. Promptly hit a stone so had to sharpen it again.
Had a good burn up of the old apple trees from dad’s orchard.
Hooked up the tipper and got it emptied.
Drilled a hole and found a new storage solution for auger.
Watered the baby trees.600l/300 trees equating to about 2L per tree. Quite impressed myself with impromptu set up.

Back this afternoon. Levelled out a section to try and get an idea of how the stoned yard needs setting out. Made up the sump and finally got that dropped in. Hole was 8ft deep in the end but I was reasonably confident that the dry clay wasn’t going to kill me (it didn’t).

Is that a kx61-3?

Yes. Chap up the road (Dan) is moving down the road a couple houses and swapping me some storage for occasional use of the machine. I quite like it, but a bit harsh on tracking.

Yes they're known for that in the tracking. I wonder what the replacement is 027-4 is like. I had a go on one and don't remember the tracking being bad

Got an afternoon of peace and quiet. Finally opened up the old gateway/road access and got it stones up very roughly with about 9t of the stuff I ripped out for my French drain the other day. Will need compacting down then dressing off with some planings or 803. Promptly locked it back up and put some pallets of blocks on the inside to keep the local T-Leaves out.
Got the petrol washer out and cleaned the screener and digger off before home time.
I should have spent an extra hour rattling the stone through the screener to clean the dust out, but ran out of time.

Mega stone under the topsoil, slap-bang in the middle of stunning countryside. You win every which way!

Back on it last night and today. Got thistles growing like triffids. Some over 6ft tall and threatening my baby trees. 2 hours of frantic slashing got rid of them for now. Got hedge trimmer out and tidied up the entrance to improve visibility.
Built up the drainage sump to correct level and laid a lid on it.
Planted another gatepost receiver for a gate to divide top and bottom yards (concrete railway sleeper £0 and 16ft galv gate £50)
Got my BIL coming for a weeks digger work so wife hoovered all the dead flies out of the portacabin and I booked the portaloo in for a VERY overdue pump out (been 12 months
)
Sharpened my grandads hook (he found that in shed when he bought a house in Gara Bridge in 1974) Stamp on the blade and Google say it’s post 1900…. But obviously pre 1974. Lovely little tool.
