nigel 1,876 #1 Posted September 3, 2016 Play day at townings farm not, Well I loaded up yesterday ready for the 30 mile trip this morning cross country, so I was up with the lark at 8am to my amazement it was already light, so two cups of coffee and three fags later off I set get ten miles down the road came to a level crossing the barriers were down so I waited for the train to come, it didn't then I saw the sight road closed so off I goes again on a ten mile detour, after 35 miles stopped tanked the truck and tractor up bought a chocolate bar for my breakfast handed over £60 and was on my way again, pulled up on site met my old buddy the showman, unloaded the tractor picked our spot , the show man sticks his 3 striped poles in the ground for me to follow, made the best opening I've ever done, oh I was chuffed to bits, then BANG ! Water every where ,a flint had come up broke off one of the metal fins on my fan which then went through the radiator so I loaded up drove the 40 miles back to my workshop, when I got there I had some how lost the disc off the plough, so I said sod it and went home, then to top it all 3 hours later my mate rung me up and asked if I had lost my seat cushion cos he had just ran over one 10 mile down the road and it was red and had Holder written on it, so I said did you pick it up? No didn't bother he said it was ripped to bits Quote Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigel 1,876 #5 Posted September 3, 2016 Don't think so norm, I spun the wheels ploughing to deep when it happend I think it was a bit unlucky cos I think it was the only Flint in the furrow I found it laying next to the tractor didn't find the fin though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
