I am growing 25 acres of new crop this year, weed control is challenging so looking for an interview cultivator.
As no-one grows veggies this far north on scale I have little knowledge need a 6 row 45 cm spacing. Not sure whether it's rotary or tine front or rear mounted would like to mount on...
I have had a few exchanges with our local MP over the past few years. I have ponited out and he has brought up in Parliament the potential problems when muirburn reduces/stops and destocking progresses, the potential problems of wildfires. As ever "agriculture is a matter for the Scottish...
Just trading my 21 538/60 Dual tech in at 3000hrs, only because I have a chance to change it while I still have some cash. Until now its been trouble free, there are 3 or 4 within 5 miles, up to 6000hrs on them and have been good. one had problems with a loom rubbing through and being bodged by...
Had a range command, 155 put 10k into the gearbox at 3500hrs after in buggered a bearing. Got a Cvx 230 now. If it's a Puma you want buy a Cvx. You will save on fuel and reliability IMO
Surely we all take tax decisions of one sort or another. If we don't try to maximise the £ in our pocket then we are only doing ourselves. The trouble is the country is in such an unholy mess that tax loopholes are closing.
The crewcab pickup for us worked well for nearly 15 years as it was...
Just seen on twitter that HMRC are to re classify crew cabs as cars for employees. As a Ltd Co. reckon it's back to pickups and wee vans. However the cost of them will maybe have stifled demand as it is. Best get the wax oil out and look after my current Hilux...
Local buyer for distillery has stepped back from 2 not so local big boys to local guys. 12 if not 24hrs notice of movement, 11 loads off yesterday and today with good communication from both drivers including telling me moistures and specific weights. Far better than the fall from the sky...
I had a chat with a mate today about year end valuations. Both of us despite being 30 years in the job are pretty niave doing this. As I expect to make a £ I wonder if I am doing it to my benefit or not.
For growing crops it's contractor costs plus variable costs to date.
For crops in store...

Cart springs, think the GR on coils but doesn't qualify for VAT as can't carry a tonne
TBH coming from Landrovers on air suspension I thought cart springs were a big step backwards.
I dont think the Hilux rides quite as well as Ranger but 2006 D40 rode the best and handled the best IMO. Pity...

What are folks using and why?
I write my own recommendations.
Still using a diary/paper based system for record keeping but looking at Green light grower and the like. As a luddite I want something easy to use, idiot proof which can maintain stock check and be portable on Android which I am...
No idea on the adblu I am sure it won't be hard or detrimental to the running if the machine, lots of people now doing it.
Have fitted Agopen GPS to my 6718S. It is GPS enabled and was done by @andyinv . Takes a wee bit if setting up but having RTK for less than £1500 is worth it.
