Bump

Does anyone know where (if) parts are available for these old boom fert spreaders? Metering wheels mainly. Thinking about using our old one for broadcasting cover crops after the combine.

Killing any animal with a bow or crossbow is illegal in the UK. Pest species or not.

He’s a clown. Still driving about on the roads in his Land Rover and trying to keep it hush.

Drier than a west African witch doctors chamois leather juju bag ☹️

Lines on straps have nothing to do with the strength of a strap. They are purely for decoration, all the information is on the strap label and the cert that accompanies them when new.

Bit off track but how much effect would the Russians turning off GLONASS have on agriculture around the world? Guessing there's more than enough other options

I sometimes think I've not a clue how to do things compared to the old fellas or yesteryear but then I realise that the skill sets that they had and the ones I have are chalk and cheese. I've not a clue how to plough with a horse, work a binder, or build a stook but I can use a 5 furrow...

That's a steal for a PTO Genny! We were off today for about 5 hours, just got the Genny ready to plug in and the power came back on as I was about to switch over :facepalm:

No, got 16" feathers on the plough. Clay normally turns over ok if you get it at the right moisture. Only ploughing it this year because of the mess last year's rain made the night it was sowed

This'll be fun in the clay below the road then :facepalm:

For wearing life?

@Farmerdunk Spaldings this time. First time we've not used KV metal so we'll see how it goes

Oh I doubt that very much. Poke them hard enough and your finger would go through them. The tails were welded up once already and now the patch has gone too. Looking at the pictures they actually look quite good though :oops: Although the rear board in the picture is actually a new one already...

Yeah full set of boards and shins, new skimmer points and set of knock on points. Landsides getting turned too. A lot of metal for only 120 acres of ploughing this year but it'll last a long time 😉
