Brilliant Doug, like the wheelhorse and also see where you got your user name from.

Belated birthday wishes Joseph, hope you had a good day

A lot of nice kit there, well worth the trip by the look of it

I haven't Chris, their getting hard to find

That's a brilliant idea and well thought out.

I was lucky Norm, it missed the house only just tho

Great photos Paul. thanks for posting them.

Good bit of filming Ian, i like the bit with the camera on the blade.

Making good progress Norm, you'll have it finished for the weekend.

Looking at the base I assume it's going to have a wooden floor, are you going to insulate it as its going to be cold in there when the winter comes .

No worries Ian, nice to see the Mountfield working

Happy birthday Angus, hope you have a good day.

I'm going to fit them as a double to make it more like a broom

Growbag came on Sunday with his Mountfield so i let him use my harrows to get some seat time driving up and down the field

Arrived at the farm on Friday afternoon and just managed to get the caravan set up before the rain started. saturday was bright and sunny so after unloading the van and setting up my display i took the Raider 12 over to the field to start ploughing, the ground was long stubble matted with hay although the plough went straight in the ground with good depth after ten or fifteen feet the plough was bunged up with big clump of hay. I watched the bigger tractors and they were all having problems with the conditions only worst than me as they had more ploughs to clean. Saturday evening there was a seven mile tractor road run ( some off road ), there were twenty tractors with trailers and lots of people, half way round we stopped at the village pub and then the rain started, we all got a soaking on the way back to the club bbq. The food was good and plenty of it, although we were all very wet it was very enjoyable and the atmosphere was great. sunday i got some seat time with the graderblade and harrows. the rain held off and we loaded up about four and arrived home at five thirty. A very enjoyable weekend and in good company. heres some photos I managed to take while it wasn't raining

Well done Norm, did you try it before you painted it ?. looks good though.

All looks clear Norm , I'll wait till you're finished before I change mine

Ive measured it, I'll have to get some wood next time I'm at johns

Doug only had one box so you'll have to wait unless i send my box back so he can send yours.

Not sure to put them on with a point in the middle facing forwards as you say Alain or straight like the blade with the choice of angling left or right

Had a parcel delivery today from Ranger ( Doug ) another little project. after making a grader blade Doug was inspired to contribute some brushes so i could make a belly brush, many thanks mate. first thoughts to make a fixing plate to mount them on then attach them to the tractor useing the blade mounting hardware. it will have to wait till i catch up a bit with all the other projects ive half done but it keeps the brain ticking over. heres some photos for you to comment on

Any progress on the studio Norm ?

Here's the photos i forgot yesterday

Happy birthday Frank, have a good day mate

Got the frame all cleaned up today with the grinder and a coat of red primer on it. i'll do some photos in the morning. got busy this afternoon and forgot .
