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.

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...

In my search for a SP sprayer I’ve found an ex demo mounted setup. It’s 2000l rear tank + 300l clean water and 1600l front tank. Basically with my trade in trailed I could get into this machine for about £30,000. What size tractor would you need to run this setup. We are mostly flat and minimal...

So having asked on here a few years ago we bought a trailed 36m sprayer having taken the job back in hand due to not receiving good service from the contractor we were using. We went with a well used trailed 36m because the contractor was using a 36m SP and we liked the way the boom could cover...

Can this be done legally? Got some two year old straw that’s no good for anything. There’s about 20t so it would be a big fire.

Has anybody done this? We’ve been approached as we have a gas pipe under us. All we’d be providing is the land for a rental. Then we could if we wish supply feedstock and take digestate. It would be a big one taking in around 40,000t per year. It would have a dedicated entrance/exit so not to...

Does anybody know the rules around waste and houses? Obviously there’s the 3 bin (general, garden and recycled stuff) collections but these are now 2 weekly. I’ve a tenant who’s built a small incinerator in the garden and is basically burning what he can’t get into his bins. 6 of them in the...

I don’t understand the stories around about demand for new tractors is outstripping supply. I simply don’t get it when I look around my neighbours and none of them have bought any new tractors for years. Then part of a discussion group and last night a simple show of hands when asked the...

We’ve bought N24 7SO3 for £525/t earlier on in the season. I’m fully aware that it’s not the best value p/kg N but it suits our system. If we were to move away from this strength but stay liquid what is the best value around please?

What level of percentage control does something like a disc get on chitted stubbles? we’ve got some grass weed fields that have greened up nicely but we won’t drill till mid October onwards so do I glyphosate now and then again pre drilling or do we disc now to kill the growth (does it though...

Got a hired puma and trying to figure out how to engage the gps via the multi controller instead of the button on the armrest. No instruction book and hire company have no idea. Can’t find anything on YouTube either.

Used some free gypsum in the spring and I’ve been offered some more free but you can only spread it once every 12 months so can’t spread till next spring. I’ve got no inside storage, and to be quite honest wouldn’t want the mess in a shed anyway, but does it store outside ok? Does it need...

Apologies if it’s been discussed before (think it has but the search facility can’t find it) but as a disc machine in dry to moist conditions what do people think? Obviously if it’s wet then a tube is needed but as a chitting tool and potential cover crop seeder direct into stubble what do...

Just having a rethink so after some thoughts. We use 8x4x4 heston bales. Generally they weigh 520-540kg each. If there’s no road work we stack them two high on 44ft HGV flatbeds but don’t bother strapping and haul in 22 at a time. If there’s road work (not very often) we go 3 high and bring in...

Looking for some grower experience of late sown milling wheat please. Sowing window November to the end of March ideally.

Anybody got a spring barley gross margin? Thinking of putting it in the rotation.

What’s everybody using this year on blackgrass and ryegrass as a top up on winter wheats? And what about a late application on spring wheat in June time?

So we told a casual to park a grain trailer in an outlying old Dutch barn but tip it up so any water runs out as the Dutch barn roof is in a poor state of repair. We never checked it and having now seen it today the casual actually tipped the body up and put the safety stand in which exposed the...

Found a 5000l chafer sprayer with 36m booms I like the look of. We are flat land and do liquid fertiliser. What size of tractor would you think is needed and what size hydraulic pump?

Been looking around at the above machines. What’s peoples opinions please? We’re looking for something that will mix in cover crops in front of spring crops, do a light chit behind the combine and it’s mainly wet clay soil or it’s very cobbly if dry. The xpress seems very heavy duty and I...
