    Relocating an arable farmyard - things to include and things to avoid!

    Yes! Just slowly trying to move away from my Grandads 16x silos which are starting to show their age (1970s). We are building in levelled space for future grain storage expansion. Also some external storage.

    extra coulter tramline shut off in JD 750a

    Our 4 metre JD 750a only has one coulter shut of per tramline and we wanted to increase to two coulters per tramline and avoid green straw at harvest. Any suggestions of a kit you can buy top do this. I think a valve by MC electronics might work... thnaks tom

    JD 750a and Fendt 724 (Profi Plus 2015) compatability...

    We are hiring a Fendt 724 (year 2015) to use on our JD 750a drill for spring drilling. Wandering if anybody has this set up and if they have any tips for what compatibility issues (hardware and software) there might be. I think the hydraulic pump flow rate is 115l/min with 4 closed spools... Thanks
