    Land Cruiser commercial vs. Discovery commercial?

    Looking at these. Anyone with experience of them got any opinions? I have owned a Discovery (non commercial) previously, but have never even set foot in a Land Cruiser.

    Tenancy advice sought

    Situation is that a limited company has rented land continuously since the 1960s, with the landlords accepting payments directly from the company. No tenancy documents can be found, nearly sixty years on. The landlord is trying to draw up new agreements based on a FBT. The tenant is claiming...

    Wrong barley collected

    On Monday I had a text from a haulier asking to come for two loads of Flagon winter barley seed on behalf of the plant breeder. The drivers also had paperwork to this effect. On Monday afternoon I had a call from the seed plant wanting to know why I had loaded Flagon as they were expecting...

    How much discount for a demonstrator?

    Was wondering how much discount you might expect on a 240hp demonstrator tractor over brand new? Been quoted, and the difference isn’t as much as I had thought/ hoped!

    Who else woke up to find their SFP in their account?

    Quite a nice surprise to see such prompt payment from the RPA. Are most people in the same boat?

    TGB just stole my Manitou!

    As above, taken out of the shed in the middle of the. They didn’t get too far, they accidentally knocked it into crab steer and crashed into a wall 50m from the end of the farm drive. They got away on foot unfortunately.

    Disabling isobus on a MF datatronic screen?

    Is this possible on an older style non-touchscreen datatronic? I want to run my drill through a topcon screen. If I turn on the datatronic screen first that’s where the drill appears. If I turn on the topcon screen first the drill loads on that, but the main tractor screen doesn’t then load on...

    Massey datatronic not loading properly

    When I start up my 7722S the datatronic screen isn’t always loading properly, not every time but enough to be a pain. The main tractor function screen as highlighted doesn’t appear meaning that I can’t access most of the tractor settings. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it just need a...

    More Facebook neonicitinoid bullsh*t polls

    I know those of us on FB see them on a regular basis, but the one I saw today was so blatantly rubbish. As usual the poll just asked “SHOULD BE KILLING PESTICIDE BE BANNED?” with a simple yes or no. I was curious so read the accompanying propaganda which claimed that the UK government had...

    Roundup Flex, how rain fast?

    I hope the label isn’t correct, says 6 hours minimum. Desiccating linseed and despite forecast saying 8% of rain all afternoon we have just had an absolute deluge out of nowhere.

    TFF is officially bad for your bank account.

    I joined this wonderful forum at the end of last year. What a great place it is, the only downside is that I have bought far more kit that ‘I never knew I needed’ than ever before. Am I alone or do others suffer from this syndrome? 🤣

    2021 OSR Yields

    Has anyone done much yet? We’ve started this afternoon, only done about 10 ha so far but seems to be doing around 3.7 t/ha. If it averages that across the board I would be pretty pleased as we’re on light land and have grown far too much of it over the last twenty five years. BTW it’s Palmedor...

    Looking at retrofit yield mapping. Anyone used TRX?

    I'm looking to fit a cost effective yield mapping platform to a 2009 Lexion 550. Has anybody got any experience with TRX? It seems a pretty cheap system which you can use with a tablet / iPad. The combine has already got a quantimeter so this route would be adding a second yield monitor to the...

    Best platform for selling machinery privately?

    I was wondering what people’s experiences are selling kit privately. Advertising can become quite expensive if a scattergun approach is adopted. I have tried FW and Autotrader (Farm) recently without getting any enquiries.

    Instruction Book…legal requirement?

    I recently took delivery of a new piece of machinery and noticed there wasn’t an instruction book with it. I asked the dealer who duly reported back that the manufacturer hadn’t produced a manual for this particular machine. the manufacturer is a well known name and firstly I am somewhat...

    Poppies coming in Spring Linseed

    As per title I have a flush of poppies appearing in my spring linseed. Not yet in bud. The question is what is likely to be the most detrimental to crop yield, leaving it as it is or spraying with something like Metsulfron-methyl?

    Do you shop around for professional services?

    I’m asking as we have used the same accountant for three generations. When I had my last bill it struck me that we were paying a lot of money for this service so decided to get another quote. I was quite gobsmacked that I was quoted 60% LESS than what we are currently paying. So how often do...

    Has anyone used a Weaving Shortdisc?

    As per the title, wondered what people’s experience was. I am guessing it is a fairly lightweight machine made for tickling the surface?
