Well after many inches of snow, spring briefly arrived last weekend, and having emptied the trailer of the mower, in readyness for work to start on that, a quick journey to the next village resulted in the purchase of a good heavy secondhand set of harrows.
Sunday was spent harrowing one of the paddocks, if the weather holds I'll be doing the rest this coming weekend. I can now see why the farmer who ordered my land rover originally picked the hand throttle as the only option he wanted.
Low ratio, 2nd Gear, hand throttle out till your doing 5mph (or whatever you want to do) then it's just steering round and round the field, just liek a tracctor, and much easier than using the pedal for maintaining a constant speed.
