    How long before biggest dealers pack up

    Or it’s because they’ve made silly choices by doubling the size of the board of directors increasing silly salaries, building car like dealership buildings they do not need and by driving around in Land Rover company cars. It’s their fault I’m afraid. Big JD dealer potentially next. Staff cuts...

    Shall I swap my loader ?

    He said keep the current one as well which makes no sense and just pushes costs further

    JCB 536-95

    Does this have a bigger back end from the 560 machine to accommodate the 9.5m reach? What’s the visibility like as I’m interested in one but it’s not local to view and don’t want to waste my time is visibility is restricted as I’m in tight shed spaces so need to be able to see easily.

    New limits to SFI.

    The early adopters are the ones that will be inspected so they can claim some money back.

    Shall I swap my loader ?

    Why? A newer machine would be more reliable. That’s the whole point of the original question.

    Shall I swap my loader ?

    That’s an option. I wouldnt buy construction spec though as it’s hard to find one with the joystick instead of the levers.

    It’s a straw boiler and I need minimum 7m reach.

    That’s not a trade price. Just the used value of similar advertised.

    Shall I swap my loader ?

    Got a telehandler with nearly 8000 hours on it. Needs some things doing to it. It’s due a full oil change, 4 new tyres, headstock and telearm re pinning and bushes. Approx price on the above is £5,000. I’m also a bit concerned about the gearbox/clutch as it’s a bit sloppy on gear change and the...

    What's the capital value of land in solar?

    There are no reliefs available as the land becomes commercial although depends on everybody’s individual business setup of course.

    Vaderstad Rapid - Disc versus tines

    Had them both disc and tine (rigid tine not the agrilla tine) and the disc is far better. There’s a reason 99% are sold with discs. The rigid tines bring stones to the surface as well. I only know if one agrilla tine version and it’s quite new as well.

    Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

    I’ve stopped watching Ollybloggs now and I know a few others have as well. I don’t like his pro Nfu stance and he refuses to acknowledge the Red Tractor issue as he’s on the crops board. He’s going to start to alienate his peers if he’s not careful but then maybe he’s not bothered about that as...

    What is it with telehandler’s

    I think it’s because they are started and stopped a lot more and have multiple drivers. Basically they are abused

    New lexion price !

    Agreed price I’m told. One of the other guys has been speaking to our dealer so I haven’t had any direct contact yet. They are coming out this month before the price rises I’m told so we’ll get the details then.

    New lexion price !

    Keeping the two existing machines isn’t really an option. Ones 30 yrs old the other 25. Basically worn out so we’ve all got to do something and looking around the used market is £100k to get something decent but again well used

    New lexion price !

    So that’s an option as well. There’s 2 old combines presently and an unreliable contractor so it’s just an exercise to see if it’s viable really between us. It’s 2000ac in total of which half is milling wheat. The balance is split fairly evenly between feed wheat and two break crops. The farm...
