Hi

The farm I am on at the moment were combining yesterday, only problem the grain was too dry, so we had to leave the hose on it!

Cheers

As I said I was not causing trouble it is what we had heard, not absolute rubbish, and we wnated to know if it was right or not so obviously thought this the place to ask!! Am very glad it is looking so good and going ahead.

Perhapes you should try to do some combining in Cornwall, the farm where i keep the engine has 400 acres that has been ready for cutting for the past 3 weeks, and none touched due to weather !!!!!!!!! Ground is so wet that the water now just runs off the top, dont know when they will be able to harvest as just cannot get on to the ground. Crop maybe a total loss yet. Today it has been raining for most of the day again adding to our problems.
