Looking good! Tidy enough job with a roller for a muck spreader. I know someone who painted an old Warwick bale trailer years ago, they sent pictures to Warwick in the post and they sent him a set of decals back in the post as a gesture of good will. Maybe worth asking West if they’d supply a decal or 2 in return for use of the photo?

Try putting at least twice aa many bales out on their sides in a line like a sausage, a small distance away from the barrier to prevent the cows pulling the silage through. When they've eaten it down, push it towards the fence with the telehandler - you'll need to do it 2 or 3 times. Unless you can unroll the bales along in front of the fence, but that's not easy with silage bales

New Year, Same Old Shit, eh?. On my phone screen, it looked like there was a bit of rust on the face going in, on the broken bits you welded, which would indicate it was cracked awhile. With how crap the spike design seems, I'd check the good spike for similar. On the plus side, your welding seems decent enough. 🙂👍🏻

We had the same problem years ago a neighbour gave us some diesel in cans we put it in our telehandler then it wouldn't rev turned out the diesel had water in it upshot we had to have a new injector pump at a cost of £1500 very expensive lesson

I love the series 10, force 2, and especially Generation 3 models, i think they're some of the best looking tractors ever and really well appointed. Im running a 7610 Generation 3, 2wd alongside a fleet of modern New Hollands, but must say the 7610 is one tractor that puts a smile on your face while driving!
