I did see on Faceache there was a company making new Blanch cultivators, folding looked to be about 5m wide and very tidy they were too, afraid i dont have a link as cant find them!!
Yes that's them, looked a nice bit of kit, not sure what money they were or size, only saw a couple of picsI think it was terratech there website didn’t show them but remember seeing them on Facebook.
Must be a nightmare seeing behind you with all that paint on the window!View attachment 947657View attachment 947657Kockerling Allrounder Flatline working in the frost a few weeks ago.
I have all my stubbles to start to get ready now . stubble going into linseed then we will lightly trio , cultipress and then drill if conditions are favourable , if its a bit clatty then I might put the power harrow over instead of the cultipress .
I also have ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, a acreage of ground which was going into winter beans which was fallow last year ,,,,,,,,, I know shame on me , they should of gone in mid oct but we were committed to drilling wheat that dry spell and when the weather turned that was us buggered , this land is sitting quite nicely after being bust up last summer with a trio , it will need something to break it up but not sure yet ,,,,,, we have been looking for something with tines to open ground up in the spring as sometimes the trio is a tad overkill and to heavy ,,,,,, this land will now be going into S Barley as the cattle have eaten most of the beans ,
Maize ground has been mucked and ploughed , nice ground so I have no problem putting the plough in . The rest of my ground unless I can plough early and get a frost tilth then its best to leave the plough in the nettles TBH . This year the marl has not been fit to winter plough so no point forcing the issue
We had a lot of overwintered trio'd land this time last year. We borrowed a neighbour's 5m vibro-flex which was perfect - just had to be careful with it as they weren't designed for 200hp!
Shakerator or low draft is on the list next when I can find one.I’ve been using the ancient shakerator on ex beet land fb combination. Faster than ploughing easier drilling hopefully alleviated enough compaction but everything would be a compromise after the mess that was left.
Weaving Subdisc more versatile and not strong moneyShakerator or low draft is on the list next when I can find one.
