    How Best To Manage Dirty 'No-till' Stubbles Post Harvest Pre Drilling /Also Breaking the BYDV Green Bridge?

    I used Kyleo pre OSR and it never even got out the starting blocks! Think it was residual 24D as it germinated fine in a small missed bit. Proper school day for me!

    Is deutz cheaper?

    I've had an m620 for ten years now, been quite good to me, the cab's a bit Fisher Price but at the time it was the only tractor I could afford that had a bouncy cab/front axle.

    Urinal ideas

    Our local pub use galvanized buckets fixed to the wall at an angle, looks really cool actually. Don't have a picture cause I haven't been out for ages!

    I have memories of using one of these. Can't say they're fond memories but as you say, better than a spade.😆

    Simba free-flow direct drill

    As in to stop the legs bending back to far? Actually sounds like a good idea. Slow and steady is what I find reduces tine breakage.

    Simba free-flow direct drill

    Hi, I put these on mine. It's a KV/Accord/ Claydon part available from Agrilinc. The holding plate is a Weaving stubble rake part cut in two. They seam to work fine.

    Changing to no till on 300 acres

    As above, I have a 3m Simba Freeflow on Metcalfe points. Does a super job. I went cold turkey in 2015 which with hindsight was making life difficult for myself, might have made it easier by maybe doing a couple of years non inversion, one year at 6inches the second at four but if you already...

    Landrover chassis

    Compost advice.

    Sounds like good stuff! Spoke to someone at a livery yard yesterday about getting there woodshaving dung. I guess it's all about what you can find locally.
