I remember Boxty Mór mowing with a horse drawn one of them back in the early 50’s. I wasn’t let mow with the tractor until I was 10.
Now you have lads failing theory tests before getting behind a wheel. 
A curse of a thing, broken wooden drive shafts, popped rivets, lost ‘teeth’…

Good times
I mind the auld lad nearly cutting off my fingers one time,I was pulling out the grass from between the teeth when he decided to pull out the blade without telling me,lucky enough it was as blunt as fuck and just cut me across the knuckles. It was my own fault apparently.

I know a lad who lost a big toe to it. He was kicking off a lump of grass and kick off more than he bargained for. They were a cunt for clogging.

A modified ould silage harvester with a front mower on it! Same mower as would be on front of tractors. It’s a bit of a sow but useful for small bits around

Some job. Nice to see older gear running, especially unusual setup like that.
It’s hardly a Leitrim thing, is it ? Every agricultural fuck-up was always my fault.
This would happen when he’d be 100 yds away on the tractor and it roaring and a shouted instruction would be mis-interpreted. Gobshite X 20 incoming…

Nice bit of improvising there 
Some sort of a farming history show?
Well whenever myself and the auld lad were working together and something broke or he bogged the tractor it was my fault
