    G Lime

    All has its place; G lime for emergency jobs (spring panic, down the tramlines etc) Calcium or Magnesium lime applications done regularly ever 3 - 5 years depending on soil tests. Using a decent contractor or your own spreader with all the proper equipment GPS, VRA, big tyres, etc

    New tyres

    Tried to get some Roadbibs, but still on farm trails and aren't available yet. So do we pay big bucks for Mich's or less money for Mitas or BKT's then replace sooner with Roadbibs when available as I hear very good reports about them

    Trying to get a larger footprint and better traction, if we reduce the pressure too much with 60 profiles there is very little 'cushion' left in the sidewall, given the load transfer from the muck spreader

    Lime :- 4mm or fine

    Certainly hardness of the parent rock makes all the difference, if soft chalk 4mm down to dust will be fine. But if hard rock a finer ground product would be more suitable

    Fert tray test variations

    We use old bedding trays from a market garden and put end on end across the full bout width, do 3 passes to get the double overlap and hey presto ! a good representative spread pattern. Then come the dark art of adjusting things to get a better pattern !!

    I'm looking to replace some 710/60/42 Michelins with taller side wall tyres probably 710/70/42. Shall I stay with Mich's or look at other brands. We do 1000hrs a year and a lot of road work between jobs. Any advice welcome, thanks

    13-15tonne track digger

    We run 3 x Case CX130's between 18months & 30 months old. All are fine machines and dealer support from Warwick Ward is excellent. The only thing I would say is check as the price of parts before you order them as we paid £111 for a fuel cap when it got throw away by the diesel thieves...
