Hi We've just had a second hand patchwork system to go with our first 24m spreader and I think I'm confusing myself! Spreading to 24m, we need to travel at 12m widths. So, is your working width in patchwork 12 or 24? I think I've managed to work everything out - measuring, AB etc from online...

Hi After 2 12-15 month old Angus bulls ideally in Mid Wales/Shropshire border area. Easy calving, to run on dairy heifers and cows. Thanks

Evening, Does anyone have any experience of the Kubota M6 002 range? Looking for a loader tractor which will undertake yard loader duties, mow, spread fert, slurry, mow and cart a lot of round bales. Essentially an all rounder. Just had a 132 on demo and it's a nice enough tractor. Might just...

Evening all Just after a quick but of advice. We're thinking of selling some of the heifers intended to grow the herd in 2025 and buying in some cows earlier. So, what's rough value of Feb/March born xbred heifers? All AI sired from first cycle, cows fully vaccinated, good calves done well -...

Hi Not sure of this is the best place but this is where I post most. I do Farmertime - essentially a video call with children from a school usually from a town or city. I'm putting together a video for them of the silage process and I got most of ours today but missed buckraking as by the time...

Hi After some recommendations for any bib and brace which aren't as heavy as the kaiawaka and betacraft types. Anyone using anything that they'd recommend? Thanks

2 x Metal step unit (4 steps and platform), both approx 2m by 1m. Can be loaded and unloaded. Thanks

I'm after some recommendations or advice on volume washers. It's for a 20/40 and fed from a 10,000litre tank. I've got quotes from about £500 up to just under £4k! How is everyone getting on with what they've got and what sort out litres per minute does a good job for you? Thanks

Afternoon For a light-ish third cut, how would you work out price to pay for the silage? We fertilised the ground and silaged it. I'm working out some figures based on previous years but the huge cost rise in fert is skewing the figures. TIA

Spring Calving Dairy Farm requires team member starting in January 2023 The farm is located in Llanerfyl, 20 minutes west of Welshpool. A 180 cow herd, expanding to 200, rearing own replacements and milking in a brand new 20/40 parlour with ACRS. Calving starts at the end of February and takes...

Hi Heard a lot about Sip on here but never spoken to an owner. I'm seriously considering the 340 (3.25m) silvercut plain mower. Got a few quotes and it's been whittled down to that or a plain kuhn, will either be the 3.1 or 3.5m. 3yr warranty for sip gives confidence. Anyone running them...

Hi Need a new sheargrab and came across these two in one machines. We have a mix of pit and bales to feed. Does anyone use one of these multipurpose grabs with the wrap retainer on it? Also, do you need another service to the loader? Thanks

Has anyone else had to download agrinet to an app? I've followed the instructions and got our data but the interface now looks like something from the 80's! I can't find the wedge graph. Anyone else having the same problem? Thanks

Hi Need to reseed an old steep bank of unproductive pp, very matted and mossy. I'm thinking the eventual long term ley should be broken up with something inbetween - forage crops tend to work well for us. But this is a big piece, too big for our R1s. Just wondering if there's a suitable short...

Hello I'm looking for sorting gate ideas for a herringbone parlour. Block calving so for the majority of the time, not much sorting so a clean, quick exit is essential. Exit will be straight ahead. Gate will need to sort and cow will then turn back on herself to handling area alongside...

Evening Just wondering about buying a mower and would prefer other dairy farmers' input rather than post in machinery. Would be used for pre-mowing, mowing surplus paddocks for bales and maybe pit silage along with contractor probably (1st cut and a later bulkier cut). Would you go for a...

Good morning Does anyone have any drawings or dimensions for a building for a 20/40 with tank, office and store etc down one side? Thanks

I've just caught up on John Roche's ADHB presentation on marginal litres. I also saw him give a similar one at Positive Farmers a few yrs ago. To anyone that's not seen it, the gist is that in spring calving grazing systems, feeding concentrates (or other bought feed) brings significantly more...

Good evening, I'm after some advice please. First time doing this so be gentle! Earmarked a field that is performing poorly and wanting to get away from ploughing/similar costly reseed methods. Usually put swedes/kale in as a break crop but this is an additional field we're trying to improve...

As per question really. Have a few docks, thistles, buttercups (seem to be everywhere this year!) and what I think is a little bit of redshank. What's the best clover-safe product to hit them. Ley is approx 5 weeks and not too far off being ready to graze.
