Any of the tractor gurus know where's the best place to source used tractor tyres. My are 16.9R 34 . Also is that an old way of measuring tyres? Like does it have a modern day equivalent number, because every search I do throws up a different

You could go a bit wider with 480/70R34

Would I have to change the rim if I went wider no?

You have to plant the same linear length and species elsewhere on your farm before you remove the hedge.

Possibly. Be careful changing from the original size. The ratio between front and rear tyres needs to be kept the same.

You should be able to go out one size. You're probably on 14" rims, maybe 15. If you want to go into the technicalities, you can check the specs for what you intend buying here

You can also check the rolling circumference to ensure you're near enough for the 4wd ratio. 480/70 should be close enough. IIRC it's a tad smaller but this will vary a bit between manufacturers

Quick question what the benefit of using the green high tensile wire over just galvanized high tensile wire?

Well don’t know about doing the parish proud but I got round in 3:45. Very hard run for me today. Was hoping for sub 3:30 but it didn’t work out today. That’s it for me for marathons. Getting sick at mile 25 and spending an hour in the medical tent after has confirmed it for me that this is the last one. Anyway had a few beers and a burger and feel right as rain now. 😀

Fair play lad, tis tough alright. Takes the body a while to recover from the abuse it gets from a marathon. Rest up and be proud of what you have achieved.

Well there's a a few drinks and take away that you need not feel guilty for. Fair play to you. I couldn't even fathom it tbh.

There's no sport in shooting domesticated farmed animals.
Even deer shooting in estates is usually only preselected animals that have no value to the continuation of the herd.

Next thing it'll be open season with Dublin 4's coming out for a spot of shooting on the Dublin mountains.

It's a continuation of this trophy hunting nonsense and posting online that the Americans particularly love. Usually their trophy is fenced in behind a wire fence ready for the paying American.

To be honest, if I found her in my field with one of my rams shot dead,and taking selfies of herself and het "kill", something illegal would be certinly be done ....

I'm not familiar with the case in Scotland. I saw the pic of her posing with the cadaver is all.
But around here NPWS shoot feral goats in certain situations. They don't go posing on Facebook though!

Edit. What relevance this has to sheep I'm not sure. I didn't think it fully out before I posted. :-)

Totally understandable why the images from Islay of dead animals being held up as trophies is so upsetting and offensive to people. @scotgov will review the current situation and consider whether changes to the law are required. https://t.co/SIQxcEYBzR https://twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon/status/1055161864185937921?s=17

On the subject of hunting there's an excellent series on Netflix called Meat Eater. Very good hunting fishing cooking show.

I think the sheep were wild not actually part of a flock. Remember the sky interview and a gatekeeper said it was bad form as the wild goats were a problem but the sheep were causing no harm

He was a shorn sheep.

I think they were trying to make excuses and said it was a feral sheep.
