Worst thing about the pre-2016 models is barley separation, often find the straw trailers have a scattering of grain on them. Other than that, can't fault them really. Cab is very spacious and comfy on post-2014 models. As mentioned, Prodrive is the best if possible for fuel efficiency. Very...

Which plasma cutter are you using? Must be pretty beefy to manage 25mm thick steel at that speed.

Probably fair to say that these estates and contractors swapping hoards of them each year might be getting a better deal than the rest. A fair few might be biting the bullet with BPS going too, could be the last time a lot of people can commit to a new tractor.

If tractor sales are highest since 2016 like FW are reporting then the manufacturers are probably thinking they could do without loosing the margin from dealer discounts

I did the same, and to be fair it's not far out with the £85k estimate if you take 30% dealer discount off. Interestingly, if you spec the Active 8 and CVX similarly then there only seems to be a couple of thousand in it so certainly not as much as I expected. Top spec Farmall came out at...

Interesting to hear. Seems like a good option without the Luxxum in the lineup any more, especially seeing as (correct me if I'm wrong) there's no suspension at all on a Farmall - which sounds a bit sore over a long day topping. I guess only worry with the CVX would be how much power it pulls...

What is it like comfort and manoeuvrability wise? I presume its aimed as a competitor to a JD6120M / Valtra G / Fendt 500 but I imagine it’s probably fairly expensive with the CVX in it.

I wasn't really thinking about Macdon or other third party headers as it's just an extra hassle when something inevitably goes bang. I was just referring to the brands own draper headers (and by draper I mean the full width cutterbar headers), which to be honest they seem reluctant to push...

As above, has anyone got any experience with draper headers on a Hillmaster/Montana combine or knows why dealers are so reluctant to spec them together? Only possible reason I can think is that the combine being taller effects the crowding angles of the header but it surely can't make that much...

Anybody got any tips with putting JD R series loaders on? Taking off is a minute job at most with plenty of weight on the front but getting the auto locking pins to go in when putting it back on seems to always be a nightmare. Got plenty of grease on the brackets so they locate properly but...

As said, going Markham Moor, Milton, Walesby and taking the road straight across to the 614 brings you opposite the car park entrance. The 614 is a stupidly busy road any day so no wonder it was stood with extra traffic, would be a god send if they made it dual lane but can't imagine there's...

Not sure the image shows the true scale but, as others have said, it's likely too narrow. So either you'll end up with a pile of dead pigs that have frozen to death outside or a pile of dead pigs that she's laid on trying to maneuver around in there. There will be plenty of near scrap farrowing...

You'll definitely find a 670 wide on smaller lanes if it's not tracked, although that depends on the wheels it's got on. Really you need an escort to be safe so you've got to decide if the improvement in capacity is worth it. I would imagine the output of a JD or NH would be pretty similar...

Will vary a fair bit depending on genetics and the system but something in the region of 5 months from birth sounds realistic when comparing to indoor systems. Not sure how you'd fit it in with arable, I guess what you're suggesting is you over winter a batch of pigs after a cereal with some...

You're not saving labour by any means, you haven't got the advantage of automatic feeders or slats that don't need bedding. Not to mention the pigs are more spread out so you don't get round them as quickly to check on them/ treat them as necessary. Plant costs are possibly lower because you...

Don't think it was ever disclosed, but you'd imagine there was a disagreement somewhere along the line with how sudden it seemed to be in the middle of summer. I particularly like that a lot of the content is POV, at the end of the day it's about what he's doing and not himself which isn't the...

Glendale Engineering made pig tents that you could use bales as for walls, however I think they mainly concentrate on building construction frames now and any livestock stuff is well down the priority list if you were looking for them- and that's assuming they still make them.

We've all done a telehandler door so I wouldn't be too mad at him. Just be thankful the top door was latched back so you've not got double the bill.

Sidewalls are definitely a weak point on the BKT's, had multiple develop eggs on them on a telehandler. They do wear well though, lasted a good 4000 hours with still 25% tread when they needed to be swapped to avoid them blowing up. On the tractors they do make some noise on the road but you...

Makes you cringe doesn’t it watching them put all that concrete down only to end up with it all holding water. On the latest video in particular, that concrete he’s put down between the two sheds looks a proper mess. Not necessarily blaming him if moneys tight but cheap labour is cheap labour...
