Hi, Did you find the problem? Ours is doing the same, not really wanting to spend 1000 quid on new box. Thanks Mark

Thanks for your replies, it is much more complicated that I first thought, I've been reading up on past threads as well to try and get my head round it all. So Basically we have an attenea passing a signal to the receiver which converts it to position data (either using a radio signal or mobile...

Hi, would this GPS antenna (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof-Navigator-Automobile-Navigation-Compatible-Black/dp/B071XY4R26/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_107_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HRKS933W14514VXNW07S ) be suitable for use on the tractor as well as used in a home base station for future RTK...

Hi, has there been studies done as which varieties of wheat perform better in strip till situation? We run a sumo trio and found skyfall performs well. Are there other varieties folks have found to tiller well and cover the ground more?

Thanks everyone for the advice, it sounds like either a GSHP or air source could be a good option, good point about keeping the flow temp low to improve cop. I guess it is more important to have a higher kw rating and lower flow temp to aim for a constant 7.5 Degc uplift on ambient temp. Air...

Soil type is deep loam but parts of field could have a gravel base. Annual heat heat output is a difficult one probably in the region of 100,000 kwhth hopefully running at 45 to 50 Degc. Are you asking to see if ground loops can achieve cop? Does the fact it will be used mostly in July to Oct...

Hi. Yes was thinking ground loops can drive a digger and plenty of easy digging soil there. Would need 1.25 acre for a 75 kw system apparently. Heat use is 75 kw minimum as per post considered double that but if I can optimise gshp/drier use with windy dry days should work well. The figure you...

Thanks for advice guys. I have been drying grain on air floors for some years now. Initially using a gas burner (expensive) to lower rh, ambient air only (difficult when near coast), using a 185kw straw burner (much less than 185 kw continuous with 2 bales a day) and lately with 100 kw...

Thanks for the reply, has the Rhi scheme changed recently to make grain drying no longer a eligible use?

Hi. Wondered if any one had used a GSHP to dry grain? We do it with a biomas boiler and chp plant at the home farm through a heat exchanger on air floor but wondered if I could use GSHP plus heat exchanger on air flooron my other farm where we have a 80 kw wind turbine. I understand temperature...
