When applying for a planning application for some new yard concreting (existing hardcore to new concrete) can some one point me in the direction under which application type I would submit it under…example agri building Or agri private road or another all together? cheers

We just got a used one recently. It was an upgrade for a 30yr old 390. so that’s all I can compare it too. Very happy with it so far. bought for yard work mucking out shifting bales around & wrapping stacking Etc. very little field work. The loader is excellent on it good visibility...

Where did you get the brackets from? 👌🏼

how much of an effort do people make to keep their farm tidy? what do you do with your oil drums, fluke/worm drenches etc and all other general rubbish?

Anther +1 for air pod pros noise cancelling is fantastic. Had them fall out once or twice but not a major problem. Use them on the tractor, shearing, dosing, walling, running. 👍🏼

Based, north lancs south Cumbria just gauging which companys people would recommend to help with the free Sfi advice? I imagine there all much the same but any recommendations welcome? between GSCGrays, Royal country side fund and JH agri consultancy currently.

Grand, sounds like it might do a job for me as a semi decent replacement for the old 390. Nearly all loader work shifting round bales about the yard & wrapping in the summer.

Are you still running your 4709? How have you found it after a few years?

I have been taking Imoveactive for around 3months seem to be helping a little. gonna force myself to try Pilates & see if that offers any improvement

Yes a drop bonnet 5455 would be Ideal In good condition. Do you run them?

Yeah there is a fella I’d trust. Sounds like a 47 definitely wont match 390 in long term reliability but I am guessing that’s the case with a lot of modern tractors

Thinking about upgrading an old 390 to a MF4709. just used for loader work around the yard moving round bales about mucking out etc nothing too heavy. What are peoples thoughts? Would only really consider other MF models due to having good local dealers and mechanics.

I run a lot myself but mainly the shorter fell races.

Not sure on the longer ultras but in the shorter Fell running races in the lake/dales many of the top runners are from farming stock 💪🏼

We breed swale mules, dales mules & mashams. The dalesmule seems to be gaining popularity little by little, it’s certainly a slow process. Yes more wool but a better confirmation & potentially a longer lasting lamb. However both not as good as a masham for starters breeding them doesn’t involve...
