A two day video showing the state of the beet crops dealing with the drought and pest control.
We clear a sceptic tank out, which is no one’s favourite Job!

We then work through the maize header on the 9700 John Deere and then check through the bolts, knives and drum to ensure everything is completely up to speed before maize harvest.

A nasty surprise today when the Shelbourne Reynolds hedge trimmer is hitched up for the first time since it was put away last season and we discovered a serious amount of wire wrapped around the head, and a bent roller that even after some pretty heavy duty attempts to bend it back, still won’t turn.

Not the best way to leave a machine when it’s parked up for the year!

We then end with a trip to A and E as Steve manages to crack his head on a set of adjustables when trying to loosen something!
