Tilty very handy today

Grab works without dropping gripper off which is handy for odd bits ...when grab opens fully then the gripper gets oil.

This gave me a moment waiting at the lights

Went to dig out the old MH this morning pulled cover ¾ fill of .
Looks like where we stopped all the leaking tank filled up, lucky as if we had left it another day would be everywhere.
Managed to get a tanker out and empty it within a few hours, put pay to that job today, so reinstated a few bits.

What hitch did machine no3 come equipped with @JerryRtilt ?

Machine No 3 , delivered mid morning so pretty good service from Skeletons I feel, Kobelco 8t not almost new as the Cats were, fitted with another Strickland hitch but slightly larger model I think. Haven’t had a chance to examine it in detail yet as so much going on at the moment on this job.

Yesterday I plowed for the first time in about 40 years
I manage approx. 100 acres plowed up in one day
this included changing 8 plow tips and a plow blade
Yes, it is not a straight line
but before you laugh, remember that it's been about 40 years since I last did this

Before I plowed the other John deer drove around spreading pig manure

Found a pipe that thought was live put cobra up and hit something. Tried all taps etc nothing coming out, realised then had the camera i bought on the van. Stick it on the cobra and videoed, result pipe had been capped off.
Old out it was back falling, no concrete straight onto clay! Electric cable running around the MH.
Just about managed to get new 1 in mostly on slip collars.
