    What basic gps?

    A few years ago I downloaded an app on an old phone I no longer have. It was great for working basic A to B lines, and manually steering to them, but really needed a phone mount in the cab rather than trying to balance it on my knee and steer at the same time. Iirc, it was free to use in the...

    Agritechnica 23

    Can you pay on the day at the gate to get in, or is it that advanced booking is the only sure way of getting in.? ( I may be able to get to visit but it will be at short notice and my plans may change a short notice ). T.I.A.

    Can rice be grown in the uk

    35 years ago when I was at ag school, I read that France grew "dry" rice on a reasonable scale. Can anybody confirm or deny this ? T.I.A.

    Yep Solo, that is the very same as mine (..........I wasn't imagining it after all).

    Horsch seed motor - anyone changed it before?

    Your page Alomy 75 is a bit different to mine (2005 Muller box), on mine, the "i"nformation button is 2nd button up from the bottom on the right on possibly the page you go to when you press the top left hand button showing the meter, to start the calibrating process.

    Horsch seed motor - anyone changed it before?

    Like I previously mentioned, I don't pay much attention to the shaft speed monitor. However, I have a cheap 12v screen, wired to two cameras (just over £20 the lot on ebay iirc, but I can't find them that cheap now), one camera in the tank which I use for 1% of the day, most of the time I have...

    Horsch seed motor - anyone changed it before?

    Sorrow to ask the obvious, but do you have the correct roller fitted for the required output at the expected forward speed range?, also, is it showing the usual rotations of the shaft that you would expect for 250kg/ha at whatever speed you are doing?, does the shaft appear to be constant in...

    Hot tubs

    Yes a convection current is automatic when the water in the pipe is heated it flows upwards and back out into the tank, and cold / cooler water is sucked in to replace it continuely through the lowest end of the pipe, you can touch the lowest (inlet) part of the pipe when the fire is going, but...

    Hot tubs

    I have just measured it at 22mm external diameter, I do remember plugging the end with insulation tape and filling the pipe with dry sand until it was solid full ( and now sealing the top with insulation tape ), so I could bend it around a plastic tube from bale wrap or some such cylinder...

    how many ?

    Here in Lincolnshire, at we are achieving just over 1000kws per kw of panels installed over the last 11 or 12 years. Therefore your 4 kw installation I would expect to generate about 4000kw over the year. You look to be on track to achieve this. I believe solar irradiation is reasonably...

    Wood fired hot tubs, any good?

    https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/hot-tubs.301801/page-3#post-6589126 On page 3 of this post I posted a couple of photos of my home made wood fired hot tub. It is based on an old ibc and was inexpensive to make, works a treat (for what it is, ie, a bit of occasional fun) and is...

    Final video in build your own grain store series

    Fantastic job, and a triumph of the "can do" attitude, but are the Lishman pillars too close together?, it looks as if they are spread at the distance that is one third across the width of the shed, but in reality they should be doing half the shed width each, ie one sixth of the distance from a...

    Resin Bolts

    Also discard the first few pumps from a new cartridge until both resin and hardner are being mixed at the right ratio through the mixing spout. It won't set if it isn't mixed.

    Many thanks Exfarmer for sharing your experience (and thoughts) of the practicalities of doing this.

    Moving an existing roof mounted PV array to a new roof top.

    Hi, as the title suggests, has anyone had the experience of moving an array, but still kept the output and the F.I.T. going successfully?, We would like to put a shed up next year on the south side of our existing grain store, (and possibly a bit higher also). The new build would have an effect...

    Replacement door glass for Case / Sprayer.

    I believe (but I don't know for sure), that the first production runs of Case SP sprayers were literaly Gem Saphire/Emerald sprayers painted Case red, then small diferences appeared in later models such as a cab redesign (one of which we have), but it wasn't until the final few models were made...

    Replacement door glass for Case / Sprayer.

    Thanks Tim G, this is exactly the same cab as is on our sprayer, and brilliantly the cab door is superbly visable.
