We have these in our bull pens. Been in 5 years now. We made a frame and mounted them to the wall.

We have used it to replace rape. On heavy land rape is always a battle to get established so seemed a good option. It's usually sprayed for black grass so reasonably clean. The plan is to have it worked before we start harvesting wheat and then come back to it in October and drill with wheat...

We get the rsjs mitre cut when ordering them and then get all the purlin plates, bracing bits etc lazer cut. We have use ESP for lazer cutting. We use a mag drill for drilling thr rsjs.

We have had two of their kit buildings. They went together well. There was a long wait for the second so they sent the ground bolts first so we could put the foundations in all ready for when the steel turned up.

Thank you for your replies. It confirms what I had been told by defra and the farming advice service, that AB6 does count as a crop even though the land is on the Mid tier scheme. The problem I had is that the people I spoke to seemed unsure and were unwilling to give us anything in writing...

AB6 is in place until August. We didn't drill any winter wheat due to the weather so we are looking at a large spring barley acreage as well as our temporary grass. We can get spring wheat seed but its costly and are considering just drilling spring barley if the AB6 counts as a crop as it...

I'm having trouble getting a definitive answer from rural payments and the farming advice service about the following and wondered if anyone can help. We have mid tier AB6 extended over winter stubble and I wondered if it classes as a crop to help meet crop diversification (3 crop rule). We...

We had one, it was bought when it was 10 years old and had done over 4000 hours when it was sold a few years ago. In the time here it had 3 output shafts from the engine, as the splines wear out and the whole thing slips leaving you without drive. Break downs were usually bearing related. We...

Got rained off at about 2 this afternoon. Got 4 hours in on spring barley at just below 17%

Spring barley was 16.5% when we started at 3ish. Showers forecast for tomorrow, hopefully we will miss them. East Yorks

It will take any paint off it comes into contact with but will stop it going off. The non corrosive popcorn isn't half as good.

We have something along the lines of these, we have had them years but i can remember the manufacture. https://www.kingfisherdirect.co.uk/heavy-duty-weigh-beams-3000kg-capacity-with-indicator We lift the crush and slide them underneath and the made a bracket for the box to fit on the top of...

We have an evaluation, works great.

Those weeds will be fine for spraying, the only advantage to waiting is if more weeds are germinating.
