    Spring bean's....

    I agree that it's better to have them too thick than too thin. But if you look where the drill has overlapped there will just be a bunch of stalks with 1 pod on them. Not many weeds though.

    John Deere 6400 PTO will not engage

    I think in Layman's terms, if you are looking at the PTO solenoid the diff lock solenoid is about 8 inches directly further forward from there. Just reach around and you should find it. Selecting a different PTO speed is tricky. You will have to hold and push the selector level in the direction...

    John Deere 6400 PTO will not engage

    You might struggle to clean the connector on the square coil because it is facing away from you. It will help if you could loosen the 19mm nut on top of the coil. The coil could then move around to a better position to clean it. Reconnect the wire and see if it works. If not you will have to try...

    John Deere 6400 PTO will not engage

    If it has a PTO switch it will be a bright yellow button on the rear mudguard. To get to the back of the switch you will need to remove the lining underneath. I think there are about 8 screws holding it in place. I would expect these to be badly corroded so could well be difficult to take off...

    John Deere 6400 PTO will not engage

    I had a very similar problem last year and Tractortech helped solve that problem using the advice given above. The PTO had never given any indication that it wasn't going to fail to engage. I had left it for a couple of months and came back to it only to find nothing happened when I tried to...

    Cheap reliable chainsaw

    That's a good chainsaw. I have one also and it is a great starter. It is a 20 inch bar though and I thought you were wanting a lightweight small chainsaw. It certainly is cheap though and won't let down. What size bar is your current chainsaw?

    Cheap reliable chainsaw

    It sounds like you are wanting a battery powered one. I got a Stihl MSA 120C and I really like It. Very lightweight and was around £200 all in. If you want more power that that the price starts to go up quite sharply. If you already have batteries for other cordless appliances you could see if...

    Turbo life expectancy

    Sounds about fair. Are you good about letting the engine warm up before proper work starts and cool down before switching off?

    Air rifle

    I used to swear by rat poison but now it just doesn't work as well as what it used to. I have found my budget air rifle to be very effective against rats.

    Sowing ww in February ?

    Not too bad if everyone else has also been drilling at the same time. If you're the only one for miles around you will be kept busy. It's usually worse when it's just poking through.

    Spring beans.

    I am not very good with links but it was in 2011 and was reported in farmers weekly and the local paper. It involved a firm called Campbell and Penty.

    My local seed merchant tried doing that a few years ago and ended up with a suspended prison sentence.

    Land with no access

    Do you go over a right of way to get to your existing land? If you do, the owner of the land with the right of way could stop you from accessing the extra land. It's a quirky law not often enforced but it's there to prevent increased traffic on the original right of way.

    Potential Development “Land Promotion Developments”???

    Even if the OP gets a good agent and a solicitor there will always be the problem that he is on the outside. The builders, agents, solicitors all know each other and could well be working on the same side on other projects at the same time or in the future,so they are keen not to tread on each...

    Air rifle

    I have a Gamo swarm Maxim. It is a break barrel but has a 10 shot magazine so every time you break the barrel it automatically reloads. I have an Led maglite which sits on top of the scope with a red lens that you can get off eBay. That's good for up to 20 metres. At £280 it's a nice simple set...

    Potential Development “Land Promotion Developments”???

    A large site near us is on a promotion agreement. However the promotion company has recently been taken over by a major housebuilder. It will be interesting if planning permission is given whether the landowner gets a fair slice of the cake.
