Starting price for 145mm is around or even over £50m2......dear if you're having to make things fit around the lengths they have.....I'll find some other distraction.

Thanks for the replies, they are in an online auction near here, guessing mostly not straight enough for the job intended. I only want them for a single run forklift proof wall round our packing shed. Not sure what demand there will be for 150 lots of various sizes, thickness and quantities...

Hello, just looking at doing some work with nos concrete panels, either 95mm or 150mm thick are there, has anyone priced any panels recently to guide me please? Richard.

We use layflat these days, spiral gets expensive and always seemed to split below the fixing? Fit with pleats lined up with the auger, never been a problem. Easier to move out of way opening bin lids, etc. to.

Don't tell everyone, the price of potato kit will go nuts...oh, hang on, it already is. I know reinvesting is just riding the merry- go- round but I do have an itch for a really nice, new, reliable planter with fert kit but It's just so expensive trying to keep up. As said just sit on it for a...

We quite often failed to make headland with 6t dump trailer taking 5' ish at 10". Gravel ( small) not your sort of stuff.

As above Reekie made a cart elevator for old style machines (200/230/300/330) cheap enough to find but getting old now. The elevator is swing round not Swan neck so fixed hight......you soon fill a trailer! Only good news is that you don't have to bother with ringing, just run wheel to wheel and...

I can't bring myself to " like" the above post but you're so right, cold and wet this week but on the coast not sure wet enough. I haven't kept up with replacing hosereels as I hate them so now 1 computer stroppy, 1 turbine bearings getting bad and two newer cheaper machines that play up all the...

Hi, I am re-discing a GB discopak which has the same 2 disc bearing/ spindle assemblies as a discordon and would like to replace the seals, bearings are OK. The problem is it turns out this machine has had the expensive GB units replaced with after- market ones, round spindle not square, steel...

They must be mad, all that work warming soil, laying plastic, 2t/acre seed to lift 4-5t. Mind you they won't need spraying or any more water.

2 sprayers makes sense from 1 point of view but you either have to keep beet clean with an old dog, tying up a tractor, or make enough growing beet to have a good sprayer standing ..... and possibly spread capital a bit thin and have 2 older sprayers? Just ended up being a nuisance running 2 for us.

I'm surprised no mention of bats, ours like flying or crawling about in our burglar alarm beam. I've messed about moving it nearer the door but somehow they always manage to find a way.

I have to say so far that's the only thing I regret about giving up on BS. I thought they might send me some for long service all the same.

We've had to swap things around occasionally over the years putting spuds after beet, OK but you don't know what yield penalty there is and certainly not such easy lifting in a difficult season, hardly any more risk needed to growing a crop of spuds?

Coming along, soon need some water, light but not coastal sand.
