Thanks - was this within the tank itself?

We are having trouble with our Househam sprayer's Iveco engine. We ruled out dirty fuel and it had new injectors last year so something else is amiss. Normally operate it in field at about 1500 rpm but then suddenly it'll dip to 1000 rpm and then waver around and occasional return to normality...

Good or bad idea?! Land still pretty wet though walks ok on top, got a few failed ‘patches’ following Claydon or 750a in October. Use front tine to create a drainage slot and try and cover heavy seed rate with following harrow? Or best waiting till proper dry and use spring wheat? Any...

Just making arrangements for a new employee who will rent a 'farm' cottage. Currently teeing up the assured shorthold tenancy incorporating the appropriate 'form 9' etc. I understand that frequently businesses just charge the minimum £300 per year but what are the actual implications to the...

Any advance on Evernote?

A storming charge in the trusty Skoda, remember spectating somewhere near a very snowy Carter Bar - awesome!

Just hired a 1000cc Diesel Polaris Ranger and its used just 15 litres of diesel covering 80 ha of land at 12 metres. Should have recorded hours but i'd guess 8 hours actual work. Seems extremely frugal? What are other people recording, was hoping to get a lively petrol UTV for our own longer...

We have a 2012 38.10 with 5,000 hours which has been great operationally, with perhaps slightly higher repairs than average. Considering best time to change and what to, with the Kramer seemingly giving a similar offering. Demo'd one, nice machine but poorer visibility. Would welcome any longer...

Is this definitely an option - they'd have you believe its sealed and irreplaceable; also i'd have to work out where it is!

We have a tracker on our JD7530 and Tracker sporadically contact me saying it needs to be replaced "to keep it insurance valid". Is this something that needs doing regularly? We have a (machine) lifetime subscription but the shine's taken off when the hardware itself needs replacing! Anyone...

Both after grazed covers, Oats JD750A in March, Beans with Claydon in February

Thanks - yes i had considered that and hopefully our 2 x 5 kgs to date has trimmed numbers somewhat. Done any 3 times yet?!

Thinking about our bean stubbles in particular which have a fairly weedy understory this year. Some of the weeds if left will set seed imminently (groundsel being our particular nemesis nowadays), but don't want to be too reliant on more than one pre-planting roundup. Also - thinking about...

What do people find are the most durable slug pellets? Been using Sluxx for several years thinking they were very good all round but this year don't like how quickly they seem to be disappearing amongst the showers.......thanks.
