Through the wonder that is Ebay, we now own a tractor.
Not a big roaring beast like those our neighbours use to haul huge cattle, and spread muck on many fields. We have a ‘compact’ tractor. Yes, it’s tiny, and it reminds us of Thomas the Tank Engine – in fact Val wants to paint a mouth and nose on the front.
But despite it’s ‘compactness’, it can happily move the large horsebox in which it journeyed from the UK.
And coupled with a flail mower we have bought locally, it’s clearing all the nettles and thistles which have grown up in the neglected bits of our fields.
