    To split or not to split

    I've been considering how best to improve this shed. At the moments it's just two feed rings at either end and I'm thinking about running a feed barrier down the left handside but I was wondering if it's worth having a feed pass or not. The shed is only 22ft wide so how sensible is it to have...

    Cars blocking farm entrance

    What's the legal situation? Cars are constantly overhanging into farm lane they don't listen and just say they'll move if we ask them to. You can get a car through but start with anything bigger and you can't. One got hit yesterday so want to know where we stand.

    Is your farm clean and tidy?

    Just wondered on the state of peoples farms, personally I strongly dislike a messy farm with junk and rubbish getting in the way but not everyone feels as strongly as me it seems unfortunately. Its improving but not its not as good as I would like. How about your farm?

    Pointless Features On Machines

    Spirit Levels. What’s the point of them on Farm Machinery? Have them on Manitou & Lemken machines here. Neither anywhere accurate. Somebody could have done with one when fitting it:ROFLMAO: What other useless features have others come across on their machines?

    Levers to joystick

    Been looking at this wheel loader in Europe and only negative is it's lever controlled on the hydraulics. 2 levers are 3rd & 4th service. They've said they could fit a 'David Brown Hydraulics' joystick for about £600. Hopefully not the David Brown controls I'm thinking of. Low houred machine...
