    Tree shear for 7.5t digger - is it worth it?

    We went for one made by M Large in Ireland it’s a lump of a thing but it will take an 18” trunk on a dx140

    Classics Earning their keep.

    Funnily enough it’s mainly been used for arable stuff. Was main spraying tractor, and a lot of cutting veg on the coast through the winter. Mechanically spot on but the tin didn’t ’t like salt

    Classics Earning their keep.

    I think this is year 3. The proper one gave up the ghost annoyingly after I bought a new cap for it. Can’t find another one local, for love nor money

    Best Big Square Baler

    We run a d4000 I’m not going to say it’s perfect but it’s not a bad machine. It does a few thousand bales a year with little grief. Only issue we’ve had was with the pickup last year. Although that might have been more to do with someone hitting a boulder with it.

    Trailed machinery weight transfer

    What about a hydraulic ram that goes between the top of the drawbar and the top link mount. That you could push out to transfer onto implement or pull in to increase traction in a soft spot.

    Trailed machinery weight transfer

    So you’re wanting to use the weight of the tractor, through the drawbar not the linkage to push the implement into the ground if it’s a touch hard

    Wagon for mixing grain

    Looking at treating grain this year with maxxamon. And after speaking with the rep he mentioned mixing it whole and bruising it as we use it. Apparently it works the same. But would save £10 ton contractor fees or buying our own crimper. We use an alvan blanch mill/mix but we’re not putting 400...

    Solar or Wind?

    We have an 11kw Gaia and have been sent a cheque instead of a bill every time since it was put up. Was £50k to put it up but it’s paid for itself in 5 years. So now just profit. Although we did have to spend on some new bearings this year haven’t seen the bill for that yet

    Bio solids . Use it or not?

    We use it if you can get the white stuff it’s better as it helps ph also. At 10t/ac it gives grass a good boost, there is instant nitrogen and slow release. Plus loads of trace stuff.
