I've wasted more grass seed on my tine harrow than would reseed a farm......what a waste.
A neighbour used a Guttler in bad conditions this year and it looks great

Both have thier advantages. Only reason I'm trading the tine harrow in is because I cant afford to hold onto it. Would love to keep it as I find it a great piece of kit.

Is there something out of balance?

Over tightened with air gun in factory I reckon washers are bent downwards on the 3 bolts that where left in it, bolts seem very short for the size of gearbox its holding and pressure that would be on it....
Gearbox had 4 litres to much oil in it when I got it first day, so a serious space cadet must of been working on it in factory

I don't know. I had the exact same thing happen a topper after the blade went out of balance and the rubber doughnut failed.

It all depends on how many of your clothes you're willing to take off:rolleyes:
Watched twenty seconds of that farmer phil clip, couldn't watch any more. Who wants to listen to a lad waffling on about a feckin Mini.

I'm not really sure but depends if you have adds on your channel Google says you get paid 18e oer thousand views and Google keeps 45% of that, so a little over 9e per 1000 views. Farmer Phil has over 2.5m views on all his videos so he could have earned €22,500 from YouTube

He was cute enough copying the English lad, Tom by getting the two ole chaps involved, you can see as time progresses with his videos how they have started to buy into it, at the start they reckoned he was stone mad I'd say

I follow Farmer Phil a bit. His videos are honest. Enjoy listening to his Dad's old stories about tractors he had etc. He's easy listening for me anyway.

Not to many contractors running gear that's mostly payed for and kept going mostly in house by themselves, it's a rough and ready set-up but at least they don't have to find 15k a month to keep the hire purchases paid

Jesus He’s constantly saying “so now”. Every second sentence starts with it, drives me cracked.
I think he is paying too much attention to the camera and not concentrating on the job, especially around machinery.

Did you watch the video of the weekend all the gear broke down. I couldnt hack that. I agree you dont need flashy new machines but ye can get fresh stuff that will do just as good without the new price tag.
We ran old tractors for too many years and I definitely wouldn't go back. Hate breakdowns

Ahhh the flute

Bought this saw maybe 6/7months ago and went to use it today. The primer bulb is perished.
Now it would have been sitting idle for 2 months but only ever had aspen in it, think would fuel lines be perished aswell? It runs fine when I get her started but it's a bitch to get going
Pain in the hole
