Give your discs a go I would run at a angle to your tramlines. I think it will level any ruts.

We had a electric fence post sharpened to a fine point for this purpose. Ours always took a fair bit of effort to get going every season but once it is was trouble free generally. As long as that big belt underneath, driving the main auger, didn't go !

Just about to replace the points on our drill, for the first time since we bought it in 2020, they are well worn. The roll pins holding them on come out a lot easier than I expected The new points have a 10mm hole , the tines an 8 mm. will they stop on , maybe they have changed the design...

you haven't had much luck , I am in a similar position to yourself , also looking at these.

It's as clear as mud

Stick with Jersey crossed with Holstein and don't bother with any of these inferior breeds. Two problems solved in one easy decision.

Maris Kestrel, one of the first hybrid crop varieties and still probably the best kale.

Always a nice surprise when a few words from wasted years pop up in a thread. Seem to read them, in my head, in his own voice,which was very recognisable As I am sure anyone who knew him will do the same.

Anyone used any Micron sprayers low volume products Do a fair bit of spot spraying and carrying less water is appealing. Do remember my father misting cattle with fly spray back in the 70's with a spinning disc type thing on a pole Using us hold them up in a corner, probably using...

If it's in the ground long enough I would go for some Maris Kestrel Kale, next any Hybrid Brassica, down to the cheapest forage rape you can buy if you can not get it sown early enough for the time your wanting to feed it. Direct drilling or even broadcasting and harrowing would leave the ground...

We have started digging a new supply to the house , plumber coming tomorrow to connect into the hot water cylinder in our garage. Supply to dairy yet to be decided ! bought a roll of 20 mm pipe to try and thread up the existing pipe when we get it disconnected. we will give it a go. if its a...

A few questions if you don't mind? Quite interested in this. Are you using a trailed or mounted sprayer ? Grade of fertilizer , bought ready mixed ? Would you call it foliar low rate N , or using a similar rate to solid on bare ground.

thanks for the replies , I will report on progress. draining rods a good idea

we are losing 500 litres an hour UU guys thought so about a £1 . I am not bad with a couple of bits of bent wire at finding pipes but we have a fair idea of were it is. pipe was put in when we started milking here in 1977 We had a burst in the three fields it passes through 5 years ago , no...

We have just had United Utilities water leak guys in our yard , their losing water on our stretch of the road and our meter is spinning. Turned off the stop tap next to the farm we put in when we were trying to find a leak we had 5 years ago , meter stopped, the leaks across the tarmac house...
