My issue is when I was using my 2022 828 pulling a 6 metre carrier I could get to 7-8 o’clock at night. Now with my 728 it needs refuelling between 3 and 5 o’clock. Same story with 3m sumo trio. And yes it has the bigger fuel tank apparently.

Help me understand these figures please. If I’m using a 728 pulling a press on ploughing, so it’s working to its maximum all day, can I assume it will be using more fuel per hour than its predecessor? Am I missing something or is the 728 using 1.5 litres an hour more than the 828.

We do a lot for an organic farm. Basically we muck the buildings out and leave on a concrete pad for a few weeks. Then use our Bunning HBD spreaders to compost it. We take the paddles off the spinning discs and then just open the back door. The horizontal beaters shread it out in a row the width...

It’s been on the cards for a while now. Only a few months ago they started building and rebranding certain trailers as Warwick. Also is it coincidence that the Warwick trailer company is separate to Ktwo company but owned by the same people. Ktwo will cease and everything will be branded Warwick...

The chap who started BKT sold the business and then started up again and called his new tyre business Ascenso.

Running a set of Ascenso 650/55R26.5 on a tanker. Been on over a year and done a lot of miles without any issues. Will definitely buy more. Have another identical tanker with Alliance on, and at the same pressure the Alliance don’t spread the weight as good as the Ascenso. The Ascenso has a...

Terrastar is just a name of a correction source. You will need an aerial tho and possibly the aerial cable and aerial base depending on the age of your tractor. Newer profi + tractors have everything but the actual rubber aerial fitted as standard.

I’m pretty sure it can only be unlocked by a Fendt technician as they get the unlock code from Fendt then plug their laptop into the tractor to give it a software update. Don’t think the make of receiver will make any difference. Had 3 of our tractors upgraded to rtk in the past and all my...

I could be wrong with the price, it could have been £3000. It was probably 5 years ago but it was less than half the price of a topcon system. I was more stating that no more actual hardware is required other than a cable, aerial and SIM card..

Just need to get your Fendt service man to come out with his laptop and unlock the existing software, obviously at a cost. Can’t remember price, around £5-6000 I think but can’t be sure. No need for anymore hardware. If going to use n-trip then the sim slot is in the VDO3, just pull the plug out...

Yes, headland management set to pressure down for 5 seconds then go into float.

Asking for my sister. She is needing to transport milk from her husbands farm to where she pasteurises and sells it. Looking for a tow behind bowser around 500-1000 litre, stainless steel so it can be washed out. Is there such a thing out there or anybody got any other ideas? Don’t want to be...

Anybody going? I’ve probably left it too late to go now, usually get invited by a manufacturer but I can’t be buying from the right dealers now!! Anyone booked an apartment and needing a couple of extra people to fill it?
