6.40pm - Friday 1st May 2026 15,210

The Friday before bank holiday weekend - the worst time for problems!

The day starts with a tech in the field looking at Wills 6R250 John Deere that lost electrical power last night at around 11pm. Thankfully it was back going quickly without the need to replace too many expensive parts!

We move on to the next issue: the Jumbo X power harrow with an electrical issue - a new ECU being fitted and software added, but not a quick job to complete! Thankfully the response was quick but the journey with the part was long!
So Steve gets the 7040R Kuhn behind the 8R410 and keeps going infront of the drill so we can clear this block of 70 acres of maize off the list to drill!

Elsewhere cultivations, tanking and spreading with the umbilical kit has been going on but I was unable to get round to all of it!
