We're not rich at all

Council tax is the same as it was at my old house for example, due to the agricultural tie.

got the farm at college that i work at weekends. We just had 2 anglo nubian babies born the other week, pygmys about to drop and scanned the sheep and will have lambing around the end of march. its only a small holding but many cows and rare breeds are swapped from the guys two other farms.

My summer is spent grain carting and the usual grain stores work! Sweeping, shoveling etc! Get to drive the beasty mx285! Is the farm your on rick arable and livestock then, or do they sell the straw ready bailed? Our boss has it chopped, so never had the fun of bale loading or carting!

mainly hay and straw but they have around 500 sheep on the side...

the straw is sold in bails, they have small bail just standard size, round bales, quadrand bales and hestons. the pick in my avatar is an extra long quad. some times the first few come out odd sizes untill you get the bailer set up nicely.

grain carting is fun in that then i bet. my mates farm loves the ford tractors even tho they blow up alot lol, they have a fully restored 7610 4wd which is my fave tractor to drive, it pulls like mad for a small tractor. they have 1 huge massey but im not sure exactly on the model.

[rick.spi]

ai, that could be it, heres a picture.

thats a sanderson... they have 2 of those at my mates and 1 much newer model sanderson, you hook up some spikes for bails... there my vehicle of choice in the summer
