I’m after making a ad lib feeder for brewers grains I wouldn’t have thought they’d flow in a normal ad-lib barley feeder any suggestions appreciated cheers
Lets start in 1970, with 6 of us from Reading University did a trip round Turkey

Gearbox layshaft gave up along the south coast, we got a replacement into Istanbul, Roger and I took a bus to Istanbul to get it through customs while Steve drove on 4th gear and the red knob to...
Anyone ever had wire break like this before? Had this in 2 spots were barb and rylock split, along with a few spots where the bottom 2 wires are broken. Has it been cut or is it possible for it to break like that?
I've got a decent area going into various schemes. Sourcing the straight seeds and mixing them could be a viable option.
Question is what is everyone using to mix it? My Belle is definitely a cement only machine so just curious what everyone else would use?
Thanking you
We don’t use a huge amount of straw. Maybe 40 tons a season. For large calf pens. (7) calving pad and colostrum group. Would the savings in straw usage given the ever rising price warrant the dust and cost of some
Sort of straw chopper/shredder? all but one pen would be easy access.
got some to sort out for sheep feeding....cant afford to buy a bucket and Just thinking/ looking for ideas on how to make one from the scrap pile :unsure:.........
I'm needing to buy a couple of new loader attachments. When I bought the tractor/loader, I was told the loader was a quick hitch Euro type. However, when looking for buckets, they seem to offer Euro 8 or Euro 3. Photos of bale handler and loader headstock below. I would appreciate if someone...

This year the straw I’ve been supplied is chopped, how this straw compares as bedding to non chopped:
Negative:
1. Cattle are mucky after 24hrs, to keep them in the same condition as non chopped straw would need double the round bales.
2. It’s probably due to to a wetter year and how the wind...
Does anyone know whether having copious amounts of lead shot lying around is harmful to worms? I've eaten plenty of shot embedded in game and vermin in my time, but my guts are rather less abrasive than a worm's. Just pondering this as I wandered over our pastures this pm, in places the...
Farmers worldwide are being squeezed between monopoly suppliers and monopoly buyers. With farmers fragmented, they have to be "price takers".
With worldwide governments content to allow food producers to "go hang", food shortages are becoming ever more commonplace. Be it wheat in Africa, rice in...
Two weeks ago today, Severn Trent's contractors over shot a sewage works of theirs down our track. They slipped off and got stuck. Luckily a tree held them up from rolling the lorry. If they went the other side it could have been fatal (into the canal). Anyway, two weeks later, next to no...
Have 8t digger and would like to build a bucket for turning/loading compost, it’s a mixture muck and chips so quite easy flowing. Just wondering how much bigger than a grading bucket it should be? I’m thinking 3x, not sure what cubic size that is, I’ll have to have a measure up, any thoughts or...
Any suggestions for a stoned track repair machine to run behind a tractor? Haven’t got a 360 and don’t want to buy one. The track is heavily used and needs maintaining every 2 weeks during winter wet months. The forklift bucket is just not working well enough. I think we need something that can...
