New toy on the big toy

The flail mower arrived at the end of last week, but being a tractor noob I hadn't realised I was missing the toplink bar, but fortunately (much like for my old Mini) there are plenty of online places selling parts which fit all sorts of tractors. And despite being 60 years old, I can pop the make of mine into their search box, and it'll give me a whole range of parts that'll work. 

With a couple of days of rain forecast after this, once home from the office it was straight into working out all of the connections, hooking up the PTO and... It all works!

Memories of hours of work last year with a petrol strimmer leaving me with buzzing hands are fading into the distance...
