I replied to a posting about clearing fencerows and said that my main business was cutting back our fencelines here in Northern Ireland.We call them hedges and my job is hedgecutting.Thought I would post some pics for anyone interested.We have different ways of doing things over here as our climate is so different,this year has been real wet so...We are over mechanised, we get all the new stuff for testing ..if it sticks our conditions it will work just about anywhere, especially grass equipment. The hedges in the first pic are two years growth,A gas pipe mains went through last year and blocked the cutting of this hedge, another year and my machine may not have managed it pic 2 is the machine I use, it is 5 yrs old now and about ready to change.The tractor is 12 yrs old and has around 13000 hrs done. Pic 3 the job finished, everthing is chopped up pic4 is one yrs growth on the same farm. This farm is a small 17 acre plot in 3 fields...took me 3 hrs to do the whole farm Pic 5 1 yrs growth cut back pic 6 With my dual wheels the tractor literally floats on dirty water! Pic 7 neighbours have a habit of leaving you a surprise, this heating oil tank was not in the hedge last time and I did not see it first run, don't think I should cut any closer at the price of oil! pic 8 For my sins I get asked to cut this horrible ornamental leylandii hedging every now and then, it is difficult to cut as it blows down in front of the flails and it stinks! pic 9 hope it pleases them! Pic 10 my controls with the toggles worn flat with my fingers,I often wonder why the fingers don't wear first! Sam

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison.
