There a great job but costs £12k. Wouldn't turn in my passages.

Have being measuring sheds so i think the best machine for me is the walk behind sweeper from rs agri. Then a walk behind ag bedder. I have cubicles in 3 different sheds so a ride on machine wont work. Has any one used a walk behind sweeper? Any body else sell them?

Think i would take the hyd pump for power. Just a bit of work.

Was thinking a small hyd pump driven off the cutter deck. Was wondering if there was a cheaper way?

was hoping to make something to brush 300 cubicles 0nce a day. Passages are narrow. No room for merlo. Was going to rig a small hyd pump on lawn mower and mount a brush. Like the pic above. Would it work how would i control lifting it up and down? Saw this pic on here years ago.

Have good level lanes to put it on the main problem with them is there too stoney for the cows. Have to drive tractors on the lanes a bit will this do it any harm?

Got a load of it today for cow lanes. Should i cover the whole lane or just do a strip up one side? Its very heavy whats the best way to roll it out?

Im a spring calfing herd of 310 cows. Ai'ing the herd at the minute. Always stop breeding on the 15 july. Does away with any late calfers. Is there any short gestation bulls i could uses? Could breed on for another few days and still calf with in my time frame. Currently using aa straws.

Housed my feb/ march born dairy calfs in mid nov. Dosed them with bimeda plus injection. There are all coughing a bit at min. Should i dose them again or not worry? Done for ibr. House is fresh enough. Silage is average no meal. Getting breeding cows minerals twice a day. No temperatures but...

Have one. Great job for electric fence gear. Put electric fence posts in upside down makes them easier pulled out.

Used it on my spring born calfs. Didn't think much of it. No real extra shine or bloom on the calfs. Very expensive. Meant to stay in animal for three months not sure how that's meant to work! Be better with a bolous.

Have a dab pump in mine going 5 years. Have it siting on a concrete block in bottom of 200 ltr barrel. Keeps it away from grit. Would suck out barrel twice a year with tanker.

Same happened on my quad. Was a lose terminal at the battery.

Have a 6400 JD and mc connell hedge cutter. Was going to cut a few neighbours hedges. What would I charge. Is there any profit in it? Not much work on at the minute so just an idea to make surplus cash.
