Really need to do something with an old cattle shed roof that’s falling apart, patched a few times but holes keep appearing. Anyone regretted box profile tin on a cattle shed? What’s cheaper tin or fibre cement?! Think it will be a next summer job. 105/75 building.

While undergoing an endoscopy procedure this morning the doctor said to his student that my condition has become widespread in the last 20 years and was rarely seen before that, he blamed “these farmers” for using different varieties of wheat…. I pointed out (after the tube was out and I could...

Have a new to me CX for this harvest, bought from an auction. When going through menus on the screen the yield meter bit is greyed out. I just assumed it was an option that wasn’t on this machine, yesterday I noticed a box on the back of the clean grain elevator with a windscreen wiper motor on...

Getting an old farmhouse done up just now as a rental, new kitchen has gone in, floor is concrete, was linoleum and carpet tiles previously hard wearing but always pretty cold. Is there anything that could go down under a new surface that would help, the right thing would have been to rip out...

If you advertise something, and the first person to contact wants to view but can’t come for a few days, you arrange to let them view…. Then person 2 comes on desperate to have it pretty much offering to pay off the pictures and come take it away straight away…. What do you do? The “gent” in me...

Anyone know roughly what a set of axles (twin) costs for a 12t trailer. Doing a refurb and some parts are obsolete so wondering if my best option is to put new axles on and get bigger brakes in there at same time. It’s just 90mm wide shoes that’s in it just now which aren’t the best. Still 8stud...

Is it possible to (or worth) insuring a machine for breakdowns once you have agreed a deal on a new machine and the lead time is 6months to a year away? A tractor transmission could be in excess of £20k for example, if it was to fail in the gap…. Do you just accept this as a potential cost/risk...

Anyone got any bright ideas for cleaning a valley gutter between a slate roof and an old tin roof, there’s only about an inch gap between the slate an tin. Not the best place to attempt to walk through even if it does take my weight it’s akward as. Drain rods might just do it or try and pull...

Any feed back on above? 2006 model. 22ft cut. Guessing 6 Walker but how much more output over a 2254 with 16ft cut thanks in advance.

Anyone else no where near cutting grain yet? We are north of Scotland but some not too far away neighbours are into spring barley and even wheat already, our end of March sown spring barley is 10 days off and the April stuff more like a month off. It looks very promising yield wise so I’m not...

Anyone have one? Would like to heat house, possibly part of an outbuilding and have the option to stick a radiator infront of the grain dryer air intake to raise temp an reduce oil usage if possible. Have supplier coming to survey for it next week but just interested to hear any good or bad...
