As a Scot in Scotland how does it all work. Is it competitive? I read about all these £500/ha options going in on up to 50% of some areas, surely its not that simple? On an arable farm what % could you theoretically do under the various options? We don't know what they are going to do up here...

Anyone take supplements for general health, I don't take any vitamins as I should get this from the omnivorous diet I follow :) Had tired and achy legs recently so stopped in at the health food store and he suggested magnesium so I'll see how that goes. I don't take statins so its not that just...

Just picked up a used Bateman, put water in it to work out how to use everything. However I can't get it to paint the sprayed area despite doing everything it says in the manual. Any tips?

Who is responsible for installing a new fibre cable from the pole to the house? There is an existing copper cable but it needs taking down and moved anyway. The fibre is only 30m away so seems stupid not to put it in while we are renovating. I thought Openreach would be the people but they say...

Currently getting an extension put up. We want a cathedral ceiling (1storey house) however to support the ridge beam , which will be glulam we need to have a girder truss. This is to avoid going to a steel ridge and loads of other extra expense. One suggestion for this is have 4 trusses nailed...

Anyone got any experience of S series JD combines. They look like a good deal, local dealer will have good back up, what could possibly go wrong?

I'm trying to understand the rules surrounding this! We purchased a house that was empty for 8 months, it has been empty since then and with the delays for planning etc we are now at the stage where it has been empty for 2 years. Would the 5% rate apply for renovations extension now? There are...

How much is left to do out there. I'm down to 120 acres of wheat (which is ready) and 100 of sb which has just been sprayed off (may20th sown). The wheat would have been done but some breakdowns put us behind. was down to 21% yesterday but back up to 25+ on a hand sample today, ok forecast for...

Long story short, our combine and a car had a coming together on Saturday. Received a phone call to the office this AM from the Vehicle Assessment Centre basically wanting me to give them details so they can ambulance chase for the "slight discomfort" that I received! Under GDPR how have these...

Looking at one of these, they do a trailed 3m machine, how easy do they pull? We would have up to 250 wheeled HP.

Given that a lot of you have probably extended a farmhouse at some point i was looking for some opinions or experiences. We are going to be extending a cottage which has a suspended floor. The architect reckons the extension should be the same but we are putting underfloor heating in so I think...

In the past I've generally broadcast rye and or oats at 100 to 150 kg/ha then cultivating it in. If I'm putting in expensive seed I'll drill, such as radish etc. This year I've got a pallet of vetch so what sort of seed rate would be worth using if mixing with the cereals, also would I get away...

We are currently running a 2014 New Holland CR9070 (this is the wide bodied machine same as old 980). Its getting a bit long in the tooth so thinking about a replacement for 2023 harvest. Cutting about 1300 ac/year, 500 Rye, 500 WW, balance S. Barley. All of the crops are usually ready from mid...

Got a klargester onion shaped tank and after cleaning it out we have discovered that the baffle is lying at an angle and there are bits of fibreglass that have obviously broken off it. Is the only option complete replacement? If so with what, same again or a low profile model, the inlet pipe is...

In general I do 3 doses on winter crops and 2 on spring. Wheat gets 200 max for a yield of 9t/ha max, depending on rainfall on our light soil. I go in 3 equal splits with the 1st as soon as I can get on within the NVZ rules, 2nd dose about GS30 and 3rd dose when I have time but generally around...

Does anyone offer this now, I mean an independent bod rather than the manufacturer courses. We have a new operator this year and it would be better if he didn't pick up my bad habits.

What are thoughts for K use this season. We have generally good levels, mostly in the moderate range, some high and some in the low category. With the price of MOP at the moment I am toying with not putting any on cereals this year and saving what was earmarked for that for next year on carrots...

There were discussions a while ago about mixer tanks but can't find it. Anyway when putting powders in through the Bateman bowl the sides aren't steep enough and the rinse water doesn't flush it off very well. So what I'm looking for is a big inductor bowl with steep sides with an aggressive...

Who does a good line in workshop tool boxes, with or without tools.

Where is the best place to out adverts for tractor drivers now, used to be Dundee Courier was popular, or is it all Facebook nowadays? So far I've gotten away with word of mouth but I want to advertise this time.
