    New toy day

    How does that work? I see the second hand ones appear to be coming down in price as there are more available now. Hats off to you if you get a new car.

    Bovine milk pregnancy test for Cow to detect the early pregnancy

    Maybe you misunderstood me. What do you do with the negative cows? Most farmers would then present them to a vet as they hadn’t seen them repeat. What is the sensitivity and specificity of the test?

    Power harrow combination.

    Yeh spoke to one of the contractors near you and he seemed happy they had sorted it. There are two over my way that haven’t had the same issue. They have changed to a steel side pipe now to get them to earth better. Soon find out!

    Malting barley shortage

    Think is if we have a rubbish growing season and crap yields they may come looking. They have just come off the back of 2 good harvest years.

    Malting barley shortage

    All the malsters here are talking about carrying more barley over into next season anyway as the demand has slowed from their predictions.

    Power harrow combination.

    Just bought a Pottinger. I ruled out lemken because it was too much money and didn’t like the weight of the extra tank on the back. Plus have heard of quite a few that have cracked after a few years. Almost went with a Horsch but the Kuhn PH is a bit of a weak point with them and hangers...

    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    Do you go round the boundary first to know where your tramline will be? I can set an inner boundary on the gps which will beep when passing. Haven’t tried it yet so not sure how good it will be.

    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    Sorry not sure what you mean. You drill around the boundary when mapping the field then drill run 6 for your marker for your in and out? Is that correct? Are you not sometimes left with tracks when lifting and lowering on run 6 when doing the centre. Maybe your 900s help?

    Thanks for the info. Only query is do you not tramp your outside 2 widths when you are filling the drill? I have in the past always ripped up the endrigs just before they were sown.

    Normally use field side tramline to make a scratch off so that endrig tramline is running the same way as the ploughing. Tend to find it’s smoother with the sprayer that way.
