What type of building was that - for stock?

Hi, Yes, that is the one. There is a narrow 5 1/2 inch bucket available but can't seem to find them anywhere! They are ideal for laying 4 inch field drain pipes but some prefer the wider 12 inch type. Anyway, seems the deal for the back actor has fallen through today. Shame really, I guess...

I'm looking for a McConnel Power Arm back actor digger bucket - the 5 and a half inch trenching bucket. I may be about to buy an old back actor but it does not have the trenching bucket which would be crucial to me. Thanks. I'll be fitting the back actor on a Leyland 272 by the way.

Thanks, I will do that. One field, about 3 acres, will be ploughed and reseeded as it is much needed.

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. Not all will be reseeded though, just a few acres in one field.

Thanks, I think I will follow your advice and that will be the mix.

Hi, thanks. As it happens I was looking up ryegrass yesterday but some research suggests a bit of Timothgy grass thrown in?

Hi Tarw coch, (Cymraeg?), I appreciated your reply, so no need to worry about that. It is always difficult to see the whole picture in a few sentences. I have a background in farming from when I was young and was going to make a career of it but plans changed in my early twenties! Anyway, been...

Hi, thanks, yes much of what you suggest is part of the plan and as my reply to "Tarw Coch" says, I have farmers as friends so help is always at hand. Draining and spraying is already on the cards.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The draining aspect is a straightforward ditch cleaning/opening job which will cost little, as has been done in the neighbouring field, so that is not a major issue. Machinery will be second hand which I can source, or even borrow, as I know a few farmers locally...

Hi spin cycle, thank you and thanks for the reply. one of the fields does require some drainage work which will be attended to. The fields have been baled before with large bales and so is not too bad except in the extremes of wet winters and in certain patches. So that should not be an issue.

Hi, I have 6 acres of farmland in Anglesey. The soil is quite heavy with quite a lot of rushes in one of the fields. The rushes problem will be solved by spraying. I intend to grow hay in all of the fields after re-seeding. My questions are: 1. What seed type might be suitable for a decent crop...
