do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
125 wee square bales of hay out today, messy job but has made a dent in the pile.
Also I dunno what I'm doing to make the text go italic 🤔
Maybe I'm just special 😊
may just have the italics button set Mike :ROFLMAO:

I’ve heard of small bale hay at £10 (!!!!)
It’s about time, given the effort that goes into it all. Many years ago I tried to make money doing hay, it was £2/2.50 a bale then. I would have been 20ish- so 17 years ago!

Logs have been more profitable than hay for many years in my eyes. And that’s saying something, as you know!!

What can a tenner buy you these days anyhow eh?

well your link shows an extrusion and they must've had sh1t in their eyes measuring that - closer to 3mm than 2mm and their drawing shows an RSC (rolled steel channel) profile - never seen an ali extrusion that shape
Aalco are one of the biggest manufacturers/supplier I know of in the UK and were always there or there abouts with their prices ... as far as sheeting it goes, I'd use plain 2mm the 5 bar pattern on the tread plate'll give you all sorts of leak issues

Yeah, I used to make a couple of hundred bales a year for my own use - it is never as enjoyable an experience as you remember when you are actually doing it! 😂
I flogged the baler etc last year and just buy in as and when I need it now, life’s too short to be fannying around at that game.

Life’s too short to be dating a horsey woman.

Done it once, never again!

Had to keep checking they were still there - that was the problem 😂

I met a horse girl once that had a camel tattooed on her big toe so she could ask lads down the pub if they wanted to see her camel toe and "your name" tattooed on her arse so she when she was introduced to someone would say "I bet you a drink I have your name tattooed on my arse".

Todays job was stripping all the old timber off the 7t beavertail.

It was well rotten.
I bought a load of keruing off a chap who had surplus from a vintage lorry project, so at least I didn't have to pay mega money.

Tomorrow may or may not involve putting it back together. Depending on my mood/enthusiasm/weather
