You never mentioned the bg being over the crop since May. I'm not a mind reader.

That's the point I was trying to make. If the op had seen someone spraying bg that was past flowering then it would be fair enough. But it was just third hand information. It could easily be bg that germinated out of cracked ground since the weather broke at the beginning of June. I just...

Unless you know what stage the black grass is at its a bit soon to be calling people stupid.

The two year run of not having to spray patches off came to an end today. Gonna have to burn half an acre off where some late germinated bg has made an appearance. In the space of half an hour I went from feeling mildly optimistic I was making progress with bg to feeling a bit despondent that I...

Wouldn't say bg free but to the best of my knowledge haven't let any set seed for three seasons. Problem fields grass, grass, grass, w wheat, w barley rotation. ( normal fields grass grass s barley wheat w barley) Sprayed patches off in the past plus a lot of rouging. Not had to spray any for...

Pffffft, southerners. Driving on fields with loaded trailers and telehandlers only just marking the surface and they think it's wet!. When the only way you can get near bales is with front and back spikes, then it's wet. [emoji1]

Is it on the right program? On my box there are 4/5 different programmes, presumably for different types of wrappers.

I'm hoping that the plough mark that used to be the edge of the field before I put the margins in will pass as different levels. I agree it's bonkers, do they dream these things up while they're all pee'd at the Christmas party?

You are probably right putting it down as bf15. I think what is confusing me is the booklet I got sent doesn't have the code in, this is starting to look like a printing error. Even the form says there should be a code for buffer strips. I think the first metre from the ditch is buffer strip...

Trying to fill my paper form in. Last year alongside ditches I put the buffer ( I think it was one metre wide) in as ABS03, then the rest in as fallow. Looking through the booklets I can't find any mention of ABS03 this year, am I right to presume I just put the area down as PG01, TG01 or FA01...

Was in the middle of taking wrap off bales when I took the picture, I find the wife is a little bit less reluctant than normal on a night if I don't stink of silage. [emoji1]

10 series. Had to unscrew the panel to find it when I first used. It was tucked away under where the PTO speed selector is. Mine also has the connector you have found, don't think it is relevant. The wires are different colours and seem too hefty just for a speed signal.

What does the " realising synergies " sentence mean? The farmers there can't afford to pay for stuff?

A friend of mine had an old one of them, it would go anywhere off road. Better than a land rover. I I was in the market for a utv I would think hard about the lada, put some better tyres on- still cheaper than a deasent second hand gator.
