stuckmotor, I think it might be a case of necessity being the mother of invention. The same applies across most of southern Europe - right out to the western tip. My problem is I simply do not have the skills to make what I need, although another problem is sourcing the materials, e.g. there is no choice of different grades of metal, and it varies in quality.
At the same time, I do not want to give the impression that I am "knocking" Liberal (or anyone else) because I am greatly impressed with his ability to make the tractor and implements he uses - and the high quality of his videos.
I would like to have him as a neighbour!!
