    Video sounded great Adrian, I know its a pain, but the mic really does help in the windy conditions (also when your girls are filming from a bit further away) so stick with it if you can? Would probably be worth having a sealable bag with some silica gel in it to put the mic away in and help dry it out after the poor weather.

  • @Imtheman1977

    Good morning, Adrian. I was just wondering if you have ever considered putting the bale splitter onto the front loader? That is the way I have mine set up. I find it easier to work that way, and you can work it like a grab when you want to spread out an open bale.

    Researching My Irish Family Tree, I discovered a reference to My Paternal Grandmother being a one of a Triplet.
    Then by chance I saw the reference to you having a daughter and a set of twins, all born in the same year, being referred to as “Irish Triplets” which caused Me to research the phrase further.
    And discovering that QUOTE
    Years ago, when three children were born to the same mother within three years, they were called "Irish triplets.
    UNQUOTE
    This piece of information then, certainly increases the complexity of My Paternal Grandmother’s family.
    And just think then, I likely wouldn’t have discovered this if not for the fact I watch your RUclips channel.

    I had a quick look on Google to see if there was a push-along (hand propelled they seem to call them) lime spreader. There were, but all seem to be for spreading in the direction of travel and not from the side. Not really useful for spreading lime in the bedding area. I thought that a mechanical ground driven one on wheels would make life a little easier on your arms and wouldn't involve any electronic motor to get damaged. I suppose someone as innovative and ingenious like yourself could adapt one, but it is probably time you don't have and probably not worth the time, money and effort anyway. Looks like you are better off with what you've got. Even though you have to sacrifice a drill every once in a while.
