Nice Landy Mark, it should prove handy if Bendy ever gets stuck

Thanks guys, yeah gotta use them. I was brought up in landies and off roading.
 
it did accidentally turn the wrong way coming down the lane and find its way across a stream
 
 

gotta use em,  nothing better than being up the to diffs in mud! its why mine is not being restored beyond the mechanical side, it would only get scratched, Debbie's a work horse and play thing, not a dressage horse!   what you cant see in the first photo is that landys pointing down hill an a 45 degree angle for that tire change held back by another defenders winch, not a fun wheel change!  

Those photo's bring back memories.

nice truck, Not a proper Landy though, Not unless driving it is a real labour of love! its way to shiny and climate control! I  don't even have a back window in mine! and the heaters like an asthmatic mouse blowing though a straw! bet you've even got a syncro gearbox!  seriously though really nice buy, bit jealous expect to see some hardcore offroading shots!  heres a few from me and my mates, the old black series pickup is mine,

Seems appropriate to put it under farming as its predominant use is in farming...
after a drought of 18 years I have finally got another proper Land Rover, having had two freelanders and a rav 4 there was still a hole in my life.
 
here she is, 14 years old, fairly tidy, low miles, td5 with overdrive and climate pack - I missed this on the first viewing, but that includes heated windscreen and seats! In a Land Rover that is the height of luxury!!!
 
 

 
drives nicely, I'm sure within a week there will be oil leaks, rain leaks and grumbles from the gearbox. That's the fun of Land Rover ownership though 
 
If you were wondering what's behind me, that's clowder looking down into hawkswick, the road behind me leads to malham tarn.

well I've bit the bullet and purchased it, probably overpaid, but that doesn't matter, it was worth it to me I guess! will post pictures when I collect this weekend. Hopefully upon seeing it either the drive shaft I have will work or I can cobble something up!

Did a little bit today and made the mounting rod so they both have the same fixing, its just a length of 3/4 rod with a bit of flat steel welded to it

Yes Norm, that one is from a Planet jr the other two are from a Howard I think.
Makes a lot of sense what Henry said, i'll put 2 on a frame and see what happens

no problem it may tax it grip wise if not power, but its manly because if you had the frame wide enough to make useful ridges you would end up driving on top of the crop with the wheels. Your aiming to to straddle one row whilst driving alongside the other two, so your forming one complete ridge in the centre of the tractor finishing another on the left hand side and starting one on the right hand side.

Thanks for the info, i did wonder if 3 was to many behind a ride on

You've got an odd one anyway, Chris.

It all depends on the width of the prime mover, on the ones i use at work they are adjustable on the frame for different tractors and task, for example, a three body ridger is typically set up with one body central to the tractor and the outer two bodies following the wheel marks, you can google "ferguson ridger" to get an idea of what I mean, if planning to use behind a garden tractor, I personally would only use two of the bodies one following each of the wheels, because there isn't the width in the frame to allow ridges to form else. 

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:

nice to see them working, mine get there fair share but i never think to photograph them! could really do with 4wd on one of em, but to be honest just a set of ags on one would be a plus, its so wet down here you'd need  a trawler to move logs!  

reminds me of my quadractor you steered that with your feet even though it had a steering wheel, it was an animal to drive
 

 
 

nice tractor tom, just remember
 

In a rare departure, C4 was out this afternoon for some duties in the top field. Firstly pulling out some old fencing buried in the ground, and then moving a a few logs...as well as providing a little light to see.

you know, for lifting dashels! dashels a thistle, must be a regional term, my grandfather used to use one to remove the dashels and the docks from our pasture fields, cause sprays expensive and manual labour's free!  you place the tongs in around the root and lever back on the handle, that way you get the whole plant and it dosnt grow back.

Thought I'd share a few pictures of mine and dads new purchase..
