    Hydraulic top link

    We have a Songe Hyd Top Link, its been excellent for 30 odd years, but is now showing its age. Ive had a look on t'interweb for Songe top links, but are struggling, other than a company in Demark that dont want to know... Are Songe Top Links still available? Any idea where?

    APV Seeding Units

    Hello! While having a walk around LAMMA the other day, I came across APV, Red and yellow tines and grass seeding kit. They looked like good bits of kit, to the casual observer that was tired of walking about, that is... Does anyone have APV kit? Any good or bad stories about them...?

    Winter or spring barley…?

    Just kicking some ideas around, I’d be thankful for your collective wisdom… I’ve got a small patch of easy draining, sandy loam land, even after all this rain I could plough it, an afternoon of sunshine on it would dry it out lovely. The plan was spring barley, but would I be of benefit sowing...

    Is there any difference between cambridge roller rings?

    Evening all...! Cambridge ring rollers, some are relatively flat, with a fairly shallow ridge along the middle of each ring, where as other have a pronounced, deeper ridge. Horses for courses, I'm sure, but which ones (if any...) do you prefer, and why? :)

    Swede harvestors

    Digging this thread up from the archives... I've found myself a Boswell swede harvester, kept indoors and other than in need of a couple of tyres, seems to work as it should! Fascinating thing, as I have a tractor, a precision swede drill, a three ton trailer, and all the other kit to grow...

    Which chain harrows…?

    Evening all, I’m thinking of buying a set of hydraulic chain harrows, but I’m unsure what type to go for… The traditional type, Parmiter style chain mats, the look like a diamond mat with a couple of teeth in each corner Or The new style cast ring type, round rings with a central cast ring...

    Snow plough use on private land… insurance?

    Evening! The big weather seems to have passed for now… but there will be a next time, no doubt… I’ve been asked if I have a snow plough by one of my better customers, mainly because in the snow we just had, their posh car could not leave the place as their lane was under a inch or so of snow...

    Shipping container as a shed

    Evening all… I’m playing with the idea of getting a shipping container to store some stuff, parts, a little tractor, general stuff. What are they like? Has anyone on here got any and care to let me know if they are any good? Thank you!

    rea valley

    Rea Valley Tractors officially got going with New Holland today! Looks impressive from the stuff I’ve seen on Facebook. Meanwhile, after a lot of rumours and tall stories, there’s radio silence as to who the outgoing NH dealer is going to represent from now on, especially now as RVT have Kuhn...
