This position has now been filled.

Motion picture of the Lanc-Trac in action as requested:

An excellent opportunity has arisen at Loose Hall Farm Ltd for an experienced main arable operator and general farm worker.

+1 for this, been very kindly welcomed by Charlie and his father for many years and the Axos like all their kit is always looked after more than properly! This is one tractor which shouldn't ever have acted up.

Afraid the video will take me quite a while to edit, but will be featured in a forthcoming DVD 'Farming with Ford'. In the meantime, here are a couple of action photos...

Those of you that liked the video at the top of the page may well like something on its way towards the end of the year:

Ah! Fair to say it must be a regional term then! Maybe we just like going crossways so much that a word was invented for it...

What would you call it in Lincs then?

Just out of curiosity really - is it an East Anglian term to refer to working 90 degrees to the previous pass/normal way a field is farmed as going 'overwort'? Perhaps other areas have different names for it a bit like Scoots/Short Work/Running Land/Gores/Gearings/Cuttings?

Hello, wondered if anyone has ever successfully undersown winter wheat with grass in the spring? Rather than the traditional spring barley? If so, what seed rates were used please? Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies, Hmm some varying details but generally a no then, kind of what I assumed anyway then! Shame as I have a nice set of Bettinsons to go on a 90hp Belarus, will have to be transported separately. Sadly these are three-star, so probably not the best. In fairness most...

Perhaps this should be in classic machinery as well... Does anyone know if its legal to run on the road with Bettinson type cage wheels fitted? Assuming they don't actually hit the road surface (nice new tyres with deep tread) and are done up nice and tight I can't see how it's any different...

Don't suppose it's likely any of the machines you sold could still be running Partstech? The two machines I did know of went nearly 10 years ago now sadly.

Are there many front-boom machines in your area nxy? It seems a good chunk of SP French sprayers are on the whole? Does seem a very cheap machine for what you're getting. Meant to have very good rate controllers too?
