Was looking last year at this exactly and our seed rep had bought the 24 row a couple of years earlier and he said go for the 32row. Ended up taking the plunge for the 32row and wouldn't go for anything else. Done 190acres from July to September with it and all grew bloody tremendous. Burn off...

After reading this thread thought id ask folks opinions. Looking at getting a round baler, a Krone v150xc plus is currently top of the list even though we never managed to demo one. Also up there are Mchale and Massey which we managed to demo both. Tried a Vicon and made very nice bales but the...

Taking your point there into consideration do you think it might be worth putting a half rate on the grazing grassland and then a larger rate on the land that will be going into wholecrop and forage rape.

That certainly gives me some confidence in trying it if that's what It can do

AD plant stuff. What goes in it I couldn't tell you without ringing up and finding out but I think I might now looking at all these comments.

Possibly have chance of putting some digestate on some much poorer land we have. Heard from lots of people that's it's rocket fuel and then some horror stories. My main question is what will/might it do to poorer land? The land is mostly permanent pastures with 20ac of meadows that have been...

Thanks for all the replies. Ploughing definitely seems the option most people suggest but I don't plan on ploughing it at all so I can keep the more productive soil ontop as I know what is underneath is anything but. My current thinking is to spray it off then get a simba x press or something as...

Got a 5-6acre grassland meadow that's Rigg and furrow. Not massive ones but are very close together so can be a pain to mow and tends to leave it a bit long in the bottom. What have people done to level them out ideally without ploughing, thinking heavy disks or something along them lines but...

@Andy26 is the man for AOG. Was very helpful when I was asking about them. Found a second hand trimble to do my job but was very keen on the AOG and FJD if your looking.

I always thought base stations only covered 10 miles reliably.

Main block being the farm is 10 mile north of one block. Then another block is 10 miles east of the farm and next one a further 20miles. Last block is just used for cropping.

Have 4 blocks of land of our own all a decent distance away from the farm and hoping to expand into some direct drilling contracting so not sure if the base stations would be the best option. Looked at trimble rangepoint which is upto 15cm but would think it would run closer than that most of...

I'll have to look further into it. Rtk 2.5cm would be more than I require bit still the cheaper option if I can get it cheaper I'll try.

I'll have to have a look at the nav 500. Just spoke to the reps about what i wanted and that's what they both suggested. Not sure if the 500 has the ability to keep it accurate on slopes which there's plenty of round here but I know the 900 does. Think the motor will be more of a pain than its...

Both quotes are from trimble reps. 2 different companies. Priced up the 350 screen with ezi steer Pro wheel and nav 900 receiver. Also asked for a price of the next screen up and that is significantly more. Prices both include fitting to a non guidance ready tractor. May have to ask the Case...
