Well it wasn't him, but we have had a few champion show jumpers around here.

I cleaned out his pen yesterday as it was starting to look like he could just step over the gate.

Anyone know where I could buy heavy duty clip-on elastic braces for work trousers/rain gear for OH. I have looked on line but cannot see anyone in Ireland selling them.

Would he consider chainsaw ones? Although some of those are button on. And good chainsaw retailer has them or look online.

I saw Husqvarna clip on ones on Irish Forestry Products site but they are not elasticated. A friend was here last week doing some painting in the yard and he had a pair that his daughter go him a few years ago but he doesn't know where she got them.

Thanks for the link foxy. I ordered the braces for OH and a pair of work trousers for myself.

Spotted this guntered bumper locally, apologies for the quality of the photo, but anyone listening to Tubbs these mornings will understand.:D

Don't think they were trying to save the plastic, looks like bumper + lights already took a hammering.

The oul lad says I should weld an rsj on the back of my yoke!. I just reverse til I hear the hitch hit the bumper. He may be right! For once!

"Back up 'till you hear glass"

A camera is a big help, even to back into the hitch and not have to drag the traIler left or right.
It's well worth fitting one if there isn't one already fitted

The boss man used to tell me here when I was a chap that hooking up to a trailer is like basketball, a non contact sport.

We just hook up a 4” hose and do it that way.

Need to wash a few hundred mtrs of public road after muck on tanker wheels while at slurry. One man job. Have seen nice job on you tube using clamp fittings and length of galv box with holes drilled fitted on back of tank but haven't time to knock something like that together.

What state is the road in?
I don’t mean muck wise, potholes or damage?

Side delivery spout works well, but you will have to make several runs.

Watch out for oncoming cars and bicycles, use clean water.

Turn the splashplate upside down.

Also be wary of washing the roads when it's going to freeze.
You could be responsible of someone has an accident on the ice

To do final clean of silage slab I've used tanker of water with splash plate as is. Works well but uses water fast.

Good man, yeah seen that one. I think I'll rip and see how l get on!!

I bought a set of alu ramps. Id say turning them up on their side isn't a good thing when cleaning deck

What mower is it?
I’ll try and get a set of manuals?

have2flushtwice

Drive it up into a flatbed trailer if you can, then its at a good height to work at. Put a trolley jack under it then, and get a chair. It's an easy jo from then on

Little tip for people using cormac tags with small sample. I use a can with a plastic cover to hold samples and instead of opening can or letting it open and risk losing them i cut a small hole in lid just the size and press them through,less risk and quicker

Does any of the fine gunthers here know if the batteries from the workzone (aldi) power tools are compatible across the range? Dad bought the cordless grinder off them earlier in the year and they have a drill and impact driver set in there atm which would do me for the few times a year I'd use it. Be handy to have the extra batteries from the grinder to use if needed.

Ya can get them online I think.
They’re generally older Einhell tools

Made up this handy frame for holding the sample bottles for milk recording. You can hang it on the rump rail when putting them on and off. Makes life easier and keeps them safe rather than throwing them in a bucket.

Anyone ever make a simple attachment for a quad to hold a wire reel when rolling it out?

See some mad ones that rub off the tyres to wind it back up, but I’m talking much simpler. Just something you can hook on the reel and drive on, stopping to shove in pig tail steaks.

New Gallagher reels have a locking mechanism on hook that will clip onto quad rack and can't fall off if that would help.

God Woodies are serious ripoff merchants. Cattle broke the ballcock in the yard during the freeze. The lever part only broke. Happens every few years and I know B&Q sell it separately. Tried Woodies first as it's nearer. 16.50 for valve and lever, no ball. Fook that. Off to B&Q. 7.00 for valve with lever. Lever on its own 3.50. Even bought a spare.
How do Woodies stay open?

Muckit

And if you went to local hardware you'd probably get for less than B&Q again( although they were prob closed) and they still making money.

Went looking for a Hoselock reel. Saw it at woodies for €65 Euros (I think) with a price match guarantee and 10% refund if you can find the same cheaper anywhere else. Exact same one in B&Q was €59. Took a photo.

Was back at Woodies another day, showed them the photo and they gave it to me for €53.

They are a great job, selling different quality hose now though so you'd need to be careful.

I know as I bought a reel of amazon for the sprayer a few years ago and the hose quality is absolute muck, grand for the lance but used anywhere else and it'd be in the tip by now.

Have other hose over 10years and still perfect, was very handy again when the drinkers froze.

If you look out for the offers in Woddies they can be alright but I agree being dear.
