With all the modern silage making equipment, would you still get lads with forks above on the pit?

Not till the grass is finished coming in, then few minutes to tidy up along the top of wall. Pit is no place for anyone on foot when grass is coming in

Just watching a lad here in housing estate...... pulling a full barrow behind him .... permission to give him a kick in the hole?

Will the barrow not get in the way? Maybe he's using it for protection from your size 11s

So long as he isn't asking you to push it leave him off whatever way he likes

Yes!! Because he's using it wrong! That and a lad pulling a yard brush behind them drives me soft!

Old trick with person pushing full wheelbarrow is to wave dramatically at them from a distance - the automatic response of the said wheelbarrow pusher is to wave back - wheelbarrow tips over - evil I knew but smart people only do it once

You haven't pushed enough barrows to stop yourself caring how anyone else does it . If I saw a lad carrying a loaded barrow on his head I wouldnt care ........ so long as he wasn't working for me and taking too long to bring me stuff !

Especially when youve wheeled a couple of lorry loads of readymix through a house.

I'm reminded about the story of the lad getting fired from the buildings cos he complained that there was a squeek from the barrow.
The boss asked him how did it sound and he says SQUEEK

Lovely evening here.. patches of blue sky visible earlier and mild too..
Got a quick chance to give the caravan and jeep a little wash ready for the off in the morning.. Bit of soap and elbow grease goes a long way..

Heading for the mourn mountains area, nice quick jaunt from here..

Eventually got the knapsack out this evening and sprayed the weeds around the garden/hedges some of the driveway to the yard. I wish I had one of those small sprayers that you see on quads as my left arm is aching. I filled the knapsack 7 times. Always amazes me that it never seems to get lighter until it is empty

I picked up a small 37l quad sprayer (only paid 100quid for it), makes spot spraying a million times easier. I did 2 3acre paddocks in about 1/2hour this morning with it, the aim is to keep following the cows with it, just about keeping on top of weeds at the minute, they are flying it with the strong growth and high nitrogen use. I'll never go back to a knapsack.I'd consider upgrading to maybe a 100l sprayer with a better pump and bigger lance, but that's more because I do use the quad sprayer for all the grazing block.

No. Pushed about 80ft of a swarth up into a heap, (repeat 12 times) then my dad had the silage fork on the 50b and took it away to the pit that was made a week and a half ago. The pit sank at the back wall and was holding water so opening 15ft of the the pit a threw in 12 forks of grass on and packed it. Covered again.
About 5 acres of paddocks left to bale tomorrow

keep going

Great minds must think alike, doing similar here as the grass in the calves paddock is going strong and buckrake into 20 calves still the house.
