Does anybody on the forum have one? What is folks thoughts on them?

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...

Anybody run of these? Does the 6 wheels help to spread the weight better for something like slug pelleting? Any opinions on them?

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...

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...

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 /...

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!

I'm thinking of getting a quad. Probably 2nd hand. Just for pottering around on really - bit of slug pelleting too. Any recommendations? Good ones / bad ones? Cheapish ideally.

When did this forum open it's doors? I've just seen the 'message' and 'discussions' count! I knew this place was popular, but BLIMEY! :):eek:

Following on from other threads about what type and size of farms we all have - I got wondering about farms the size of mine! We have 200 ish acres of arable. Wheat, barley, osr and spring linseed. Whilst spending £000's on fancy machines might work - it's hardly practical! I'm not going to...
