One of our customers that we drill all his crops says BYDV doesn't exist, and has never sprayed an insecticide for it. Hence crops full of BYDV in the spring and terrible yields at harvest especially since the loss of Deter, but it can't be BYDV there is no such thing so he puts it down to other...

Yes it is designed to flex like that though will likely be at it's limit of flex in that picture.

We only enquired on prices we've never had an ibc of it, the hassle of getting it into the sprayer was part of the reason to not have one though we would like to save on 50x 20L cans creating a lot of plastic waste. Have seen a frontier branded filling system online that looked smart but seems...

Not sure about 200L drums but definitely can, we enquired recently if there was much of a saving buying it in an ibc over 20L cans and it was next to no difference and a bit more hassle so still using 20L cans.

Make your own? I make all ours to suit different machines and boxes. Mixed with ram mounts it covers all bases.

What if your a farmer and a contractor?

0.75 teb and 0.75 prothio on most, 0.75 elatus era and 0.5 teb on some forward/promising gleam.

Only difference we've found is the power at which the fluid is sprayed out at, local JD dealer doesn't use JD branded brake cleaner as the alternative they've found (can't remember the name and its also probably cheaper) comes out with much more force which aids cleaning.

Just a European hornet I would say. Will have a fair sting but they normally just leave people alone unlike wasps.

I'm a solely arable farmer so not really got an idea of silage contractor costs but isn't £59/ac to mow, rake, forage harvest, cart and buckrake ridiculously low priced?

We hire in 2x18t trailers each year so they're either new or nearly new. We like them a lot, build quality seems very good, paint was good, we've never had any issues with one. If we were in the market to buy one we would likely go HM as they're only down the road from us. Not sure exactly how...

😂 You weren't to know it would be anyone on here's fields, I was intrigued to see if any of our fields made it into the shot, actually quite interesting to see them from above as we can't use drones due to our proximity to the airport so never get aerial views. That good looking field in...

Cracking view of some of our very shite wheat at the bottom and rhs of that 2nd pic :facepalm: (its not all that bad). Dark green funny-shaped field in the middle is a neighbour who is a very good farmer and as usual, has superb looking crops all over (out of view of this photo) despite the...

Yes we did go for a 3m DTS, used it for 4 years, odd mistake made along the learning curve of strip till but overall pretty positive. Got made redundant from that job as the farm was contracted out due to a farm owner passing away suddenly, all the machinery was sold and a manager no longer...

You definitely need a spring wheat variety now. Save the winter wheat seed for next autumn and up the rate a bit.
