Do it all the time here. Do not use pallet times, or extensions, they will damage a new car. We use the bale grab, with lifting straps on all four corners, one under each wheel. You can move it with a telescopic handler anywhere without damage. It's very amusing when the owner returns to find...

I agree that what this keeper did was wrong, I'm disgusted as what happened. However a few years ago doing a evening driving job for the boss I had to drive my boss at the time, and 3 others to a dinner. While driving down the drive ( I was driving the Range Rover) a badger was on the drive, all...

It was hell!! Made me stronger, but that is a estate in my mind, always will be, the rest are large farms.

Glasgow. I'm not Scottish, but had a class one education. Served me well.

Easy. A Estate (which I grew up on) is where everyone is shouting "it's coming home!", From the roof of a ambulance on a 999 call, being offered drugs every hour, dodging dog sh!t, BMW M3 on bricks, young 20 something girls offering a hand job for a fiver, loads of bonfires at night, and uncle...

My oh My. Been dreaming of a spring like this for years, and its arrived! Wet clay, Wet clay, Wet clay...... Direct drill :mad::mad::grumpy::grumpy: Simple...... Patience. 20 years ago we were ploughing everything, then moved to mintill, then to the Claydon system, and now onto zero till...

The other reason for asking, is that most rotary's around here have had problems with straw this year, and some have had fire issues ( I won't mention make ) seem to remember similar issues in 2012, BUT the walker boys are flying, the JD roadshow we went to with the T670i was very, very...

Has anyone made the jump from a rotary combine to a straw walker one. We now bale all our straw, currently have a old STS, looking at a switch to T670i, on around 1600 acres of mixed crops, starting with winter barley, and finishing on Linseed. We notice that the modern day walkers have come on...

Thats good to know, Its the old thing off must have big hp. After many years of having it!!

JD 6210r next one down, never tried moling or subsoiling with It.

Evening all, We've been in the Strip till system for a number of years and it has worked well for us over that time. However due to a family fatality, and a slight change in personal and management things have changed. We have recently moved over to a Dale Eco drill, of which we are very happy...

So why is this. You spend all year moaning about pheasants, slugs, weeds, blackgrass, affecting the yield of the crop, and then on the day throw half it away ? Or is it a competition of who has the biggest lexion and who can finish first, sod the result ?

Been travelling around the country loading/driving for the boss partridge shooting. Firstly its amazed us how much more combining there is to do ! The one thing that has amazed us is the amount of wheat growing on the stubbles that has been lost out of the combine on slopes. We've been on a few...

Far bottom, but like a typical keeper, and the Lord himself "Moves in mysterious ways " :whistle:

The size of some of the cracks in the ground will be a problem for any of the late stuff, certainly around here. However its been a good year for wild stock so far, can't have your cake and eat it I suppose.
