Hi all Here are one or two pictures of my merry tiller working for a living This a better way than using a pick Sorry pics not the best due to the sun

It is a lovely big garden, I've been lucky enough to have worked there for nearly twenty years and it was there that I first met a Wheelhorse.

Loaded up, ready to go with the exceception of a cover.

This post inspired me to take my camera to work with me today. Here is the C121 hauling a load of logs I'd just cut and the Raider rotovating a second pass on some pathways that needed reseeding:

I found this hand-operated duster at the Somerset Tractor Show, I don't know what make it is. The label appears to say When you buy ....... you buy..... (protection?)

I purchased a set of Deestone AGs several years ago and the lugs wore down in less than two seasons, they were not very deep lugs to begin with and now they are more like racing slicks. They were 6 ply "rated" which means they aren't 6 ply, but they rate them as 6 ply. They were half the price of the Intercos and a tenth of the quality, maybe not that good. Price is relative, quality is not. Many AG tires made for our little machines are cheap and poorly made, especially for the price, I for one consider a tire a one time investment, not a maintenance issue like oil changes. A tire worth buying ought to last at least 10 years, hopefully twice that.

I made this one a few years ago for my 312-8, I took apart the original, not difficult, it was rusted out, I copied the internal volume, pipe sizes, number of holes in the internal pipes (baffles) The only difference was, I fitted a 'stack' outlet, it is sooooo quiet. Stainless from the internet was used, I made 'hammerforms' to shape the ends and centre baffle, all 'tig' welded, and then I cut the outlet for the stack the wrong shape and made the mistake of filling the gaps with weld instead of fitting a 'patch' / 'doubler'. I can't remember what it cost, but the materials were not that expensive. .

I am very impressed with the standard of the tilling from the Wheel Horse rotovator. Very tidy. That looks a decent size garden you are working in.
