I used to use ARAMS to electronically record sheep movements, this has been replaced by LIS (Livestock Information Service) I used to print my movement licences out pre populated on ARAMS but can‘t get them to print on LIS, I just keep getting error messages. I also had trouble with the system...

We are struggling to get the fuel filters to last through to the specified 500 hour service interval change on a John Deere 6330. We get error codes come up and then loss of power and even stalling under load. We changed from 30 micron to 10 micron primary filter years ago after dealer advice...

I'm looking to replace a bearing housing and top hat on my JF GX3202 SM mower conditioner. I tried to order parts from my local dealer yesterday and was told they are not available until October :oops: Anyone know any good breakers or parts people I could try? Thanks.

I purchased a new Teejet Matrix 570GS last year. Whilst using it at night I decided to turn the brightness down. After pressing and holding the down arrow the screen went black. As it had gone black I couldn’t see where the icons had gone to try to rectify this. I’ve tried restarting it...

I have recently purchased a second hand Teejet Matrix 570 GS from a local machinery dealer. I get on great with it so far but it is limited in what it can do as it is only running Version 2.04 software which dates back to June 2012. From my research it seems that I can download updates free...

I am looking to upgrade my calving/lambing cameras with the help of The Countryside Productivity Small Grant Scheme. I’m interested in anyone’s experience of systems supplied or made up. I want good quality cameras on wi fi to view on a phone/tablet. Ideally I’m looking to put individual...

I was interested in potentially trying the Group 1 e wheat Nelson. Heygates seem to like the variety as an end user and it could attract a premium in addition to any milling premium. It also has a very good disease resistance profile which appeals to me as a mixed farmer and with the industry...

I have been operating one of the earlier John Deere light bars and domes for probably over 10 years, which has been adequate for my needs of spraying, top dressing and setting up land work for parallel work. My dome stopped working and my local John Deere supplied me their spare one to use...

Looking for a few tonnes of beans or peas locally to add to mill mix ration for protein. If you have a few tonnes in the corner of the shed you want to clear up please let me know.

This winter I will need to feed more mill mix due to a lack of hay/silage. In the past I would have had a mill mix wagon in to process some. I’m looking into a roller mill but would need to mix too. However as I’m faced with having to feed a lot more than usual, I’m interested in a feeder...

In the East Midlands we have been extremely dry since the start of the drought. We have not had the traditional bounce of autumn grass that September and October usually gives us. Usual policy for me will be to top dress end of August / start of September to extend the grazing season. This...

I've got a Kuhn Primor straw chopper/bedder. Currently it has 24 serrated and 24 plain blades on the single beater. It's a great machine and works well on straw and also feeds out round bale silage/haylage and hay. Most of the haylage/silage bales are my own baled with a Welger RP 435 with...

I had problems last night with the net cutting system on my RP 435. It runs fine on edge to edge but to finish off I put in a roll of cheaper net that i borrowed from the contractor who wraps with me. He runs this brand of net all season with no problem in a Vicon baler. On every bale the...

I wonder if anyone can help. I'm looking for a roll of white silage bale wrap to recreate the bride and groom display below. Can't seem to get hold of any in the trade. If anyone has an old roll in the back of the shed they would be happy to sell please let me know. Thanks

I was just doing my last check around our outdoor lambing field tonight before dark. I had my 14 year old daughter with me as we zig zagged around the field and checked every ewe and she said "imagine if we could do all this with a drone?" After that we had a discussion as to how it would...

Has anyone had any experience of lead poisoning in cattle? I've been losing strong 4 month old calves in one field only with one dying Saturday, one Monday and one today. In addition I have 2 off colour that have lost their sight but seem to be hanging on. After the second calf died on Monday...

I serviced my Manitou 627 and changed the fuel filters. After that I couldn't get any fuel up and I found out the lift pump had packed up. This is the third one I've had now and last time it revealed itself only when changing the filters also. Apparently they still can go on running without...

It seems that there is not much posted on this forum these days regarding Mzuri drills but there must be a few out there now. I'm in my 2nd season and I was just interested in other users experiences good and bad so perhaps we could all pool information. In addition to operating tips, I'm...

For the first season on our farm we are fully EID with lambs tagged against their mothers. This is giving us an opportunity to find out who is performing in our flock and look at growth rates. The majority of our flock run on a free range hen unit split into individual paddocks which gives...
