I need a name for my tractor

[Can the Man]

Its a dicky seat


(that'll sort the oldies from the young 'uns)

Never heard of one before and I’m nearly 60. Pray tell VC

[Mr Bones]

I think she's got a bit of the praying mantis going on.

The closest I can get to Mantis is Maitlis so I give you Emily

How about Mandy, short for mandible

I've heard of a dicky ticker but not a dicky seat. I feel a comedy sketch coming on with the tortoise and the hare control thrown in somewhere.

Perhaps you know it as a Mother-in-law seat!!

Darn...I know what you're talking about!
Having said that, my brother used to renovate vintage cars so that's my excuse

Brian..... I have no sound reasoning for this but it looks like one to me.
Using people names instantly makes it one of the family too.

Kevin your making no me jealous, you obvhave a shed to store your tractor in, I don�t :-(, is that a rotovator on the back ?

Yes I built a big shed a couple of years ago to store the tractor and a load of other stuff so I could turn the garage into a woodwork hobby shop. The tractor is a 'grey' import and was refinished many years ago.
It is a rotavator on the back, I don't use it much and the blades are quite worn but it does work.
I've also a simple sub soiler and a single furrow plough which I did use for a couple of seasons before I went no dig. These days it mainly amuses the grandchildren and pulls my little car trailer full of manure or compost. Now and again I get to play on someone elses garden to kick start a new growing area. It's amazing the uses you can put it too if you use some imagination.

Super Kevin, my grandsons love to go for a spin down onto the bog on it.
