    Cheap Bluetooth tractor radio

    Vote for one theses. Best thing out. I had one which worked thought Aux so not as handy but same principle. I used to carry it in my lunch box so I was always prepared what ever machine I was driving. Made many a day in sprayer more bearable. The factory fitted radio only worked driving east west.

    Min-till maize??

    General questions. Are there people running striptill machines that deep band fertiliser (at say 300mm with a ripping tine) or only as shallow strip cultivation? Because striptill will would be very common in my area of Australia here as one of multiple passes. I've never seen somone go...

    Where to buy a farm abroad with opportunities to actually farm

    You get used to them anyway. It's only if you get the right weather conditions and they are really sticky that i'd really notic them. To add I've just finnished off working with a dozen backpackers and they were all scared of the snakes and spiders. Not one them sore snake the whole time (4...

    legal or ethical?

    The local butcher's slaughter house used to be by the river. All the waste went into a bucket then into the river. Rumoured to still be one of the best fishing spots around.

    Paraquat

    We can still use the stuff. Can't say I'm a huge fan of spraying it. Is prone to drifting off target if not apply in the correct conditions. But the ability to use as a double knock down and alternative to round up is really important in our no till farming.

    New toy day

    Be the machine for the job. As long as you can get the ground dry. Dunstan engineering a smaller one. Those Collier & Miller ones are the best. You couldn't break one. You will pay for it. Few others made locally but probably would be to big for your area. Most of them the board folds side ways...

    Bredal spreaders

    I've ran a bredel. Rate controller is primative compared to an Amazon. Found if the land is rough the scales don't work and it won't put the correct application on.
