Always a pleasure to follow along Pete . The old Perkins and Kubota were just waiting to go . Not good on the Hydraulic pump mate ! Looks like a goner ! 🌵
Thanks Scott, I did manage to get in touch with the guy and he had no interest in helping me. I'd love to be angry with the guy, but sadly, it's my own fault for not checking it out when I first got it (about 7 months ago!!!).
Pete, seeing you at work made me think of a video I had. The farmer I work for also does farm drainage. The video is of pulling the 85,000 pound tile plow through a soft spot. It was mid winter at 3:00 in the afternoon and gets fully dark by 5:00. The temperature plummeted to 15 degrees Fahrenheit below zero that night. Would not have been a good time to get stuck. After we got through we spent 2 hours cleaning mud from tracks in the freezing dark. What fun. I sent the video to on WhatsApp.
Thanks Geoffrey, yes I did get that video. It doesn't look fun! Ha ha! But at least you weren't stuck there overnight. Sorry I missed your call, I'll give you a ring this weekend.
