Hi Stormin

Kara did her Cruciate Ligament in and it had to be repaired  

Hi all

couple of pictures of Kara and her scars after her operation

HI 

I think the green tool frame is from an anzani iron horse

Hi Stormin

Watching with interest. you are doing well

Would it not have been easier buying a Gutbrod 1032 and painting it red HA HA  

I suppose it is  better saying I did it.

Look forward to seeing you again

Hi All

Here is picture of Scottish broadcast seeder you can sow with two hands when you put your left foot forward you sow with your left hand when you put your right foot forward you sow with your right hand

Give it a try it is harder than you think

Hi all

The so called bath tub is a broadcast seeder from the late 1800 early 1900 it straps around your waist,you sow  with one hand and hold onto the peg with the other then swap hands at the end of the field I have also a Scottish seeder that you use both hands to sow with more pics later   

Hi All

Here is a couple of pics of my Gutbrod 1032 tractor with a Gutbrod rotovator this also makes a good job hope you like this field had not been ploughed for 26 years I could have ploughed it all day

I also was pleased with the results of the rotovator

Hi Tom

Very good find to remove rust use a flap disc  do six inches at a time till it is all done then give a light spray with grease

Hi All

This is the first time the Horticultural tractors have been invited to plough at the Alyth match

There were three of us we had a good time and met new friends we have been invited to two other matches this year  slowly but surly we are getting noticed and have some good comments
