    Weaving machinery tine drill & p/harrow

    Anybody got one of these? Just thinking about getting them to make me a new drill and maybe get a p/harrow from them too. They do the option of being able to use the drill on its own, not just on the back of a p/harrow. Most drilling options would be covered by that set-up wouldn't they...

    Drill or Broadcast

    Not sure if this should be in machinery or cropping? After the worst drilling period we can remember for years - is it time to seriously consider broadcasting crops instead of drilling them? It was common practise on this farm a generation ago - with very good results. I saw a few...

    New grain trailer

    Just having a look last a few websites. Some have 4mm sides, 5mm bottom Others 3mm sides, 4mm bottom. Surely the thicker the better. Interestingly though, the Marshall, that gets a lot of stick about quality, has the thicker stuff!

    Doing own agronomy

    Has anybody on here done there BASIS course to enable them to do their own agronomy!? Surely it makes sense for a least one person on the farm to do it - we understand our own farms better than any agronomist. Isn't it also in most agronomists interests to get us to spray more?! Even...

    New grain trailer

    What really surprises me is how everybody recommends a different trailer. Thought there might be one that would be a more popular choice. I'll just get some prices and go from there I suppose.

    New grain trailer

    The time has come where I think I need to invest in as new grain trailer. I'm thinking 12 - 14 t. Will only be used for grain, always barn stored and extremely well looked after. The 10t Marston is 30 years old and nearly as good as we hen we got it! Just not big enough now! Any advise /...

    MF 5600's

    I remember reading about these before the crash, apparently overpriced, but only one guy had a price! Anybody else looked into getting one yet? I sat on one last Lamma, and it looked the dog's b#*cks!
