Thanks a lot mate. And likewise. Been out driving on something resembling polished and slippery, greased icy roads...Sometimes you gotta love those wintertires with studs 😁

[@longlowdog]

@@realoldbeardedguy studs are forbidden in the UK. Whilst in Iceland the tour driver taught us a new word when he warned us the roads were 'glicery' a conjunction of glassy, icy and slippery before we stepped out of the vehicle. It suits Scottish roads to a tee. Coldest so far this year minus 6 but we anticipate down to minus 15 regularly and occasionally -25. Not even much snow this year. Rally driving skills on hold so far.

Thank you for the nice look at your tractor. I'm planning to put on a loader and a backhoe on my major. Any advice?

[@realoldbeardedguy]

Dear Calvin. Thanks for a friendly and nice comment. The HamJern backhoe is, if I'm not mistaken, a little alike the American type bakchoes from the 50 / 60's I think. I'm not sure where on this pale blue dot You're situated, and that...Combined being an absolute noob on foreign backhoes, I'm afraid I have no good advices to give in the matter. The frontloader though is a Britishmade Horndraulic...And they fit Fordsons "like a glove". Fairly easy to get parts to as well, and easy to maintain 😀
