Can anyone give some drain jetting tips? I am jetting a scheme laid in 1999 on silt with a bit of clay. I am using a homburg delta with a standard nozzle and operating at 40 bar. Currently not even doing one metre/minute. It will almost be cheaper to put a new scheme in… Can I increase pressure...

I have 340ha of land I manage which has been archaeological trenched through the autumn/winter. I planted a cover after harvest which has done a great job of keeping the excavators from making too much mess, but the land will need leveling and then loosening to get it right. The issue is the...

Can anyone tell me what make the airless gd press wheel is please? If you had time to measure the diameter and width that would also be greatly appreciated. I am looking at a home made project and they look like they could be a good fit. Many Thanks

Does anyone have or know of any Pallet forks for a CAT TH407C. The backing plate is more important than the tines/bar. Thanks

I have some spring wheat (cochise) to cut for a customer but all the heads are virtually upright. The moisture is fine, the grain is pinched ( and I assume providing little weight to help the necking over process) and doesn't rub out nicely in the hand at all. It has evidently given up but if it...

I originally ran the original style coulter with the rubber tube held on with a stainless steel leg cover and didn’t get on well with them. Then changed to Metcalfe legs, which are fine but the tubes wear far too quick and I don’t like setting them above the ground and blowing the seed down from...

Front linkage required for a 2009 John Deere 8430 with ILS. Thanks

Is anyone else having problems with their starfire losing signal? We have a 3000 dome and apparently the reason is because of an recent upgrade to the EE network which uses very similar bandwidth/frequencies. I made the point I have paid for a service, but John Deere want me to pay for the upgrade…

I have this gear motor on a seeder unit, what does the valve do on the end? I am wanting to reduce the amount of oil going to the return as the oil flow rate is really high and want to reduce the tractor flow. This should allow me to keep the oil pressure at a reduced flow. thanks

In the final throws of doing the mid tier and it has crashed on me. All our internet is fine this end, is anyone else having the same problem?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to people who can advise on electricity connections, measure current usage and plan electrical systems? Being speaking to WPD who gave us a £65k budget estimate, which is fine but have now comeback with a more accurate estimate of £350k. Trying to find...

Can anyone recommend me a carbon product to mix with liquid fert, and then a second one for use with fungicides please. There are lots available but I am not sure whose marketing to believe! Thanks

I am looking to buy some reared calves from this company. They are relatively new to the game and was wondering if anyone had had any dealings with them. Many Thanks

Wanted 150-170 DairyX calves. Must be a native Sire, no Blues Many Thanks

I have never had success direct drilling wheat after osr. I have tried doing it on the green multiple times and failed, and I have tried into bare land and failed. Slug grazing has never been an issue as they have hollowed the seed before then. Now I have some cattle I was thinking of adding...

Excuse my ignorance but what is a kiwiX? I am assuming kiwi Friesian crossed with Jersey but is there a min or max of each? I am looking at Hereford KiwiX calves for a pasture based grazing system but am concerned about too much Jersey affecting size/ growth rates. And if there is a market for...

I am having a go again at stock farming after a 15 yr absence so a couple of questions? What is the maximum recommended run length between ratchet tensioners? The field is 850m long. Do I need to split it into 2 lengths or would one be ok? What is the best method for attaching poly wire to the...

Do forage brassicas suffer from csfb in the same way as osr? I am in Mid Lincolnshire and have never had any problem getting the crop of osr established, it is in the Spring where the rot (literally) sets in. A forage crop would have been eaten by then. I have no luck planting kale in May, it is...

Last year I converted a 6m discordon to a shallow tined cultivator. We ran it last year at 6m wide, but the frame was made to allow a working width of 7.5m. All I need to do is extend/replace the packer. I am not a big fan of the original emopacker (similar to a dd ring) because it consolidates...

I am putting 300ltrs 30N +11S on 1-3 leaf wheat in the hope we get some rain tonight (it looks less likely every time I check the forecast...) They are now talking of it getting to 18C today, and there is not a cloud in the sky. Pictured is one of the thinner patches and one of the better but...
