Told you. One you get out it Uiu always have a great night. It's just the hassle and thoughts of getting everything arranged. We all need a good piss up and day away from the farm every so often.

See the gardi after putting up a photo on twitter where they pulled over a 16yr old driving a new Holland and mower. Seized and proceedings in progress. Seems excessiv. I was driving the roads here at that age

May have had no licience, and if so no insurance. Along with that may have had no road tax.

They said he had licence. It was a contractors machine so I'd say more than likely had tax and insurance

Has there been a change with learner permits and tractors??

Is this because of the new permit thing? I was driving at that age to but I think they want you to have the full licence now.

Need a full licence for to drive that monster.

Can't expect rules to be different for someone who can't even legally drive a car till 17.

Haven't driven a tractor in years.

10 or 11 was 1st time in a David brown couldn't see over the front:-D

Well I got tractor license when I was 16. So yeah the rules are different

It's still 16 years old for the 'W' Learner Permit, but according to the Garda twitter feed, this particular person was "carrying a passenger (not a qualified Driver,) no tax no insurance."

I'd say someone isn't thrilled about the donegal posting and is trying to make a nuisance of himself using the tried and tested overzealous tactic, kinda like work to rule only not. I'm sure his boss hasn't had any calls from irate farmers or contractors today.

Lads.

What kind of "weed" is this? Have a field that has loads of it growing out flat amongst the grass, hasn't been reseeded in a lifetime. Is there anything that would kill it off

Pit covered, shower got and cleaned up, throwing tyres is a big downside to pit

Plantain. Only ever had bother with it in the lawn. I'd be going with glyphosate before reseeding and ph of 6.5 to 7.

still just a pic of the leaf but its plantain alright.
