Been out on the flail harvesting heather seed. Gonna put the duals on tomorrow for some steeper bits though!

Then gave my mate a hand to fit a shiny new s30 hitch to his brand new digger!

Went easier than it could have luckily, bodged it together with the pipes from CPS that came with the hitch and the pipes that came with the machine. With a bit of tidying up and some stauff clamps on the tip links I don’t mind that manufactures routing as it happens. Don’t think he will bother with a manifold at the bottom of the boom, and the whole pipe could concievably be made in 1-wire 1/4” rather than thermoplastic as there are no tight bends. So he’s happy, I’ve leant him a couple of different style buckets to see which he prefers before he orders a set. View attachment 77992View attachment 77993View attachment 77994View attachment 77995
Be interested to hear what you mate makes of the 225.

He will love it I’m sure.

I didn’t even like driving it into the yard! I think they are a proper marmite machine. Get a lot more for your 30.5k with a different brand of full fat 2.7t.

Congrats @doobin I was older than I would of liked but then again the older you get the more financially secure you probably are. As for the sleep comments I was a bit too struct on my first with cry it out and getting him in own cot in own room. Was a lot more relaxed with second I just moved to spare bed and let them sleep together. Then we bought a double floor bed to make the transition easier and it was great. Missus still kips in with her occasionally if falls sleep when doing bedtime or daughter is ill.

At least he had the sense to call for help before it got too bad!
