Can anyone recommend a company to come insulate my buffer tank and pipe work again with rock wool. After 8 years it’s starting to drop off all the pipe work and a few holes appearing in the buffer tank.

I have dug into a banking in my field and come across good limestone bedrock which we crushed and used for our own use and sold a bit as well. Ended up riddling out good facing stone, a load of boulders and crushing 100mm down and 40mm down. I have asked planners about it all and they don’t...

I have a million gallon concrete tower nearly finished and I can’t decide what setup to have on the 2 outlets where tanker or umbilical will connect to. In theory when tankers full I think you’re supposed to shut valve on the tower then turn pump off then open a tap on the outlet to let air in...

I bought 500 tonne of maize from someone back in summer and reclamped it and we’re now feeding it. I didn’t go to see it because I’d already had 300 tonne in spring and it was fine and we fed that through summer. The 2 amounts must have come from different clamps because the 500 tonne that we...

New calf shed going up and wanted to use the nose fill drinkers so that water is always fresh and no ball cocks to break and flood everywhere but after feeling how much pressure it takes to push the spaldings one down I’m wondering whether there’s an easier one for calves? Or whether it’s a...

Does anyone know what the limit is to how much stone you can mine out of your own land per year? I know there’s a limit before you need a license.

I know there’s been couple of slurry store threads but both are bit outdated. I’ve given up waiting for slurry store grant although I hear it might actually be finally coming this autumn. Even if grant comes and I get it, slurry store won’t be up till the winter of 2023 i would think so I’m just...

Does anyone travel to Cumbria to process firewood? I have been using a Posch 360 but I get left with a lot of logs it can’t handle so looking for a larger machine to come for 2-3 days.

Im wanting to reclamp 200 tonne of maize silage in May to feed through summer. I’m not afraid to travel along way for it so please let me know if anyone has any. Thanks

Im building a new calf shed and it’s having a fibre cement roof but I’m struggling to find a ridge made out of fibre cement that is like the one pictured. I don’t want rain falling in and don’t want it blowing up the roof and in either. Does anyone know who makes such a thing? Or has anyone...

I have this 3m valentini stone burier on demo and I’m impressed with it in a ploughed field at burying stone and the finish it leaves but to justify buying it I think it needs to be able to go straight into a sprayed off field of grass and not leave sods everywhere. In the video you will see it...

I’ve had my lely for 10 years and starting to cost a bit to repair. I like idea of having hygiene stations but I’ve heard mixed reviews on them. Both machines with same spec are within £1000 of each other so not buying on price. Both dealers roughly an hour away and have 24/7 backup. So I’m just...

Anyone on here got same control panel as me? My dragon D20 is struggling to keep houses warm because water going into the houses is less than 60 degrees where as it used to be 70 all the time. Trying to decide if I have a faulty sensor etc on the boiler or buffer tank that’s making it cut out...

I have a mainly slurry/liquid only digester and I’m currently feeding cows molasses which is £190/tonne. Is it worth while me adding a small amount per day of molasses to the plant? Will it generate enough extra gas to cover the cost of the molasses and more? If not is maize meal worth adding at...

Anyone know where I can find just the spring. I have about 20 bolts that need new springs and can’t find any springs anywhere

I have a 1200 meter squared roof to replace. I’ve visited Holland a lot and all I see is composite roof with insulation under it. Is this to keep it cool in summer and warmer in winter? Why don’t we use this type of roof over here? Is it just price? Do I use fibre cement again or composite but...

Docks are the sizes of dinner plates since 3rd cut and looks like there’s some dry days next week. But with temperatures down to 14-15 degrees is it too late to be spraying them?

I’m wanting to trade my gator in for a CanAm traxter or Honda pioneer and was going to convert to gas which is what most people are doing but does anyone know if your that better off by time you have bought gas kit and have poorer mpg?

Anyone have these rollers in particular the 6.3 meter ones with shatter boards and tines and rollers and seeder on like pictured below. Wondering if there good at preparing seed beds straight after the plough and wondering if diamond rollers or the normal smooth rollers are best for reseeding...
