    4wd All terrain tyres

    I have a set of radar r/t on my hilux but my fuel economy has dropped like a stone from my old kumho mt51s which were a MT tyre! Cant say they are better in the wet as they spin on the same round rounderbouts and i dont drive fast. Bit disappointed with them really. Maybe a little quieter but...

    Would a grange-type low disturbance cultivator with the drill attached work, depending what hp you had. Get a rake to till lightly to get bg to chit and a bit of tilth.

    2023 Pick up trucks - what's your fave and why?

    The new ranger/amorak look so big compared to my hilux, not sure i actually need the extra size over the hilux as its a good size for getting about. Think this tech can be over the top for what you actually need except the safety tech which is very good.

    4x4 pickup tyres

    Not bad on the road not like a full blown mt. When they are worn and the roads are greasy and wet can spin the wheels at junctions and roundabouts. Traction control takes care of it though. Would fit them again. Have rotated them every year.

    How to make trailed sprayer + tractor damage crop less?

    I have cut up an old ibc and put it in front of the front linkage and front axle to gently push the crop down. Just reduced the damage to stems from any sharp edges.

    Amazone Cayena user opinions

    Have run one for the last 2 season and i have been impressed with it. Doesnt take a lot of pulling and will run in all situations. Build quality seems good as well. We run it on a fendt 933 it runs on tick over, plenty of stones and hills here, and goes well. Could run it on either our 270 or...

    Vaderstad Carrier trailed discs

    Price is the main reason not to buy them, so expensive compared to the rest. Brillant bit of kit but the rest have caught up. Priced a lot of different models at harvest for a 6m.
