Well that would be a turn up for the books... I hope that happens as you offered great service and shifted units of a then unknown brand.
Problem is just an offset of about 6-8cm down one side of the tractor that recalibration doesn't correct. The weird thing is no settings or positioning or...
A few photos from this Autumn using FJD.
Drilling inbetween last year's maize rows on a very step field:
I do have a minor unresolved issue that I've not been responded to about, although I haven't chased it particularly hard. Hopefully the UK support network will be improved because...
GS3 is the only thing that is worth the time for livestock farmers, IMO, if you have enough land to spare after June. The majority of our potential scheme in a couple years would be made up of this. GS4 is okay and a no brainer if you are already utilising herbal leys but if not then...

If I were you, I would seriously look into GS3 on CS. Entire farm down to IRG. Half of it into GS3, 100 acres nets £19k, you can silage it until end of June and reseeds itself. The other 100 acres graze with sheep. Rotate the two halves of the farm each year, or every other year. You might want...
Personally been getting on very well with our two units so far, supplied by @ERH Services Ltd before he ceased selling them, which is a pity because his expertise and product knowledge was the main reason we chose FJD. Anyway, we keep it simple, no need for auto turn or anything like that. The...
So is anybody actually going to do any companion cropping, with a view to claiming the £55/ha payment?
Presumably, if you don't join SFI until November, then you wouldn't need to worry about the logistics of companion cropping until next Autumn?
