    Would most not have a well on main farm? Have two here one for house and deeper one for cows, in summers cows go thru some amount of it. Had fenced off a patch down to a stream on rented ground but it was a bollix to keep heifers in

    Have a well here only sunk it a few years ago . Got stick of paying the council big money . Dunno why I did not do it sooner . Dunno why also not all farmers don't sink !

    A great pub story that one. U just about listen to it after a few pints. How had the contractor wronged him? And how did metal detectors fail on 2 harvesters? So many questions!

    Very easy to trick the harvesters

    There are many options to get water on land I do wonder at so many drawing water.
    When your renting land with no water is this seriously taken into account with the cost. ??

    I think the only time I drew water to stock was during the "big freeze" in 2010, it's shocking but they seem to drink so much more when your labour is involved in drawing it.

    Good point
    Should it not be a condition to landlords that water should be available

    It's an old story.
    No metal detectors on old double chop harvesters.
    Happened about 6 miles from home.

    ye I was picking off a 1 year old JF950 back in 2004 and it picked up a vice grips. a mouth full of broken teeth in it after that

    In my case land was rented at great discount cause there was no water there
