Iran have said they are not going to retaliate, so hopefully the risk of a regional war has receded, for now. PS. I completely agree that it would be madness not to have all tanks full at the moment.

Should was just to cover my own arse, the whole world is very volatile at the moment, no price tend is dependable at the moment, till the close of business that day. Lower prices now will be available tomorrow

Wholesale diesel prices have dropped back below $800/ton. As long as the war in Palestine doesn't become an international war, prices should come back down a nice bit.

Ploughing the Rocky field today.

Having a fun day. €280+V for a spool valve switch. :oops:

The 160 E ploughs are not up to 5 furrows longterm, they break between the 1st & 2nd furrow and will also break between the 2nd & 3rd. The 200 ES plough is a much better option for 5F.

I have one of the last of these to be sold under the Teng tool brand and find them great. https://www.toolmart.com.au/rytool-748401100.html

Spraying some of the non-inversion tillage winter wheat. Conditions are anything other than ideal l, but at least I am getting to travel

Weather all over the place, the cattle are still eating a lot of hay, considering they have plenty of grass, but it is drying them up and they are starting to thrive. Looking like we will jump straight from winter to summer without any meaningful spring.

I heard the N154 direct was being discontinued and being replaced by the Fendt 514 with a good engine. Not sure how true that is.

No, it means that Agco think it's no longer cost effective to build a completely different CVT gearbox for a smallish number of tractors in one of their brands. They chose to rationalise and concentrate on the most popular CVT gearbox. I would see them doing the same with their manual/powershift...

Once use to the 430L tank it is hard to go back. I can plough about 25ha on a tank, or plough and press about 21ha.

Yeah, Valtra did a better job with 8S/Q series, they dropped the underpowered 205 & 225 and stuck to a proven gearbox, the Valtra cab and body work seems to fit better on the frame than Massey's.
