You will never find anything which holds its value like an 8400! Trailer went well thank you, and we appreciated the lower ground pressure of the tyres.

Mine is mostly frozen, can’t do a lines or turn off auto section control. Can only reset hectares.

No. It just about functions for what I need. I did see on the internet companies offering replacement screens (supply only), but haven’t done anything about it as I am always using the sprayer.

Does anyone know the starting level for sugars this year? I hope they might be a little higher with the sunny weather.

Purchase one of these, very handy for determining temperature differences. I keep it on the combine now so that I can point it at bearings gearboxes etc.

Not that I have found yet.

Borage swathing this morning.

In the construction market, Chinese manufacturers are offering a cheaper price with a long warranty and a guaranteed buyback price at the end of ownership. This gets people’s attention!

They are making real inroads on construction equipment now, ag may be next.

My Champion sample looks just as ugly. Never was a variety so inappropriately named.

One of my daughters is a vet nurse. She enjoys her job and is reasonably well paid now. My son has just finished an apprenticeship on our farm through Otley college. No debt and earning good money. Off to Australia for a 6 month harvest job in October, only recently turned 18.

Champion?

No. I didn’t have any disease to speak of. I thought that the Sulphur should help prevent Mildew, and I will review fungicide timing later this week. I have the Priori Gold sat in the shed, and my son can drive the combine now. This makes it easier to spray as and when necessary.

this was drive by farming, and you are right about beet just starting to show by etc. I have mine a shower with Mg/Mn/S last week which they seemed to appreciate.

No, didn’t seem to be many maroon tractors anyway, lots of Green and Yellow, do you go every month? Some decent looking Beet around Ely.
