Dan.gerous 2,696 #1 Posted March 24, 2020 My wife managed to con me into feeding the pigs this morning so I took the chance to get a couple of tractor pictures. Wonder how the wheelhorse would deal with the ruts and mud puddles these things make? 7 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh the shotgun holder, yeah I thought it was a zombie apocalypse, not just a flu virus going around! It's the previous managers anti fox weapon - it doesn't need to be on the tractor and is actually a pain in the ass. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The trailer hitch arrived today so I can start using the C125 for it's intended purpose..... Except it won't run properly, I think it's a dodgy HT lead.

Don't know when that will be as things are. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #12 Posted March 25, 2020 BTW. Wonder how the wheelhorse would deal with the ruts and mud puddles these things make? With AG tyres on you'd be surprised. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have turf tyres on mine at the moment but want to get some decent Chevron/tractor tyres for it. Will see where it will go then, some of the ruts are so deep the tractors ground out - will get some pictures next time home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are actually really nice pigs, friendly for the most part. All the breeding sows are used to human company and only get a bit touchy when they have piglets. Forgot to get a picture of the other two tractors, will update when I get some. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if the name, the highest village in Scotland is nestled just over there somewhere. Also the terrain changes dramatically, we are in lush green farmland with pine forests, but you go a couple of miles towards the mountains and it just becomes tough grassland 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,266 #24 Posted March 27, 2020 When I first got my license in the late 80s myself and several friends had manual transmission vehicles. We didn't "need" an "e-brake" unless parked on a steep hill. No rocks handy meant you parked bottom or top and walked a little... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #25 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Wanlockhead is officially the highest village in Scotland. Situated in the Lowther Hills. But there is a dispute with the neighbouring village of Leadhills, as to which is the highest. The highest narrow gauge railway in the UK runs between Wanlockhead and Leadhills.
