Do we need licenced 'contractors' we have to pay/bods to 'sign off'?

Our Challenger 845 is 2012, given everything /uncertainty of future direction etc etc-not looking to change-just its tracks! Guidance is as above-leica mojo. They obviously withdrew from Ag market, and give no further support. When it works-which is nearly always, its great. Is there any reason...

I have read all previous threads on this-just wondered if there were many more up-to-date comments. Have used normal low vol/high flow reel jetters, and industrial lower flow/high pressure on farms. Both do the job. Our problem is we are all herringbone systems, so we can only do the...

What are everyone's thoughts then? Heard 'massive' on a different thread from south of us. May just be us, but mid/later season wheats(altitude or drill date/variety) hit by cool & wet at flowering-michodochium 15-20% florets on some ears, despite very robust (+PTZ) head spray. Earlier...

To remove some permanent pasture that became permanent under uncropped areas on miscanthus energy crop scheme, we have done the risk assessment (supposed archeology beneath the soil) and we can direct drill a summer flowering cover, to be followed by a wildflower grass mix that we can then use...

Have an application in for stone extraction for on farm use. Does not contravene any council guidelines they have published, and is within scale of examples I have seen passed(albeit before new forms & a different council). Where do I stand? Unfortunately the due date 21st March, pretty much...

As the post says; neighbouring farmer has done some for us, what is a fair charge. Good going after beet. Thanks

Old blade needed for a project. See 'Wanted'

For a friends project, after probably what will be an old blade-Track Marshall/smaller dozer type. Ideally 10 feet wide with a true replaceable edge. But a true bulldozer application construction & build. Have seen the rubber duck types for sale & know where I can get a couple of 12-13ft...

Question that I am sure has an answer or two.. We grow high intensity grass leys 2/3 year duration to feed a local AD plant from BG land. Reason:- suits the ground growing grass-heavy vale(that is what it always was) gets good structure & OM back into it it is...

Rogator 600 series-a real pig to jack as no axle as such, just a dolly to jack on under the kingpin. Local dealers can no longer lend their £££ high lift air jack due to liability. For a twice a year job, rather than spend a fortune, do any of the forum think I can adapt trailer landing legs...

Read a few previous threads. Researching sensible options to try & get reliable farm comms incorporating Lone Worker usefulness without breaking the bank. Mobile coverage not always the best-bit like a lot of you I expect. Anyone come up with a happy medium of price & functionality?

2 skulls & sub-machine guns found!!! I thought thieving & poaching was bad enough. Lets hope no-one gets bailed- they will never be seen again

Harvested forage rye grain- could be fed. Happens to have a 94% germ. No BSPB charges due on rye. Kept back from our AD wholecrop for our own seed. Variety Protector-non hybrid. Dried & weighed 10150 kg Offers?

Wishy-washy murmers of no further chlorpyrifos being released into the trade- any comments from those with more concrete knowledge one way or another?

Heard Moira Stewart regail the nation with the groundbreaking work from Newcastle University(obviously gone downhill in the last 25 years) that bees are possibly addicted & attracted to crops that have had 'nicotine like' pesticides, that have been banned by the EU for 2 years, applied to them...

Are there salting/compatibility issues with doing this as far as anyone knows( I assume this is what Omex do to make their mixes- maybe wrongly). Any preproven brewups?? Old threads?

Forgive the clueless question, but the answer is only obvious if you know it. We used Chafer hosetail ended MR streambars for years on our Rogator. Changing sprayers & to a Pommier boom. Suggested that we opt for one of the many nozzles available for our early season N & S fertilisers(problems...

Long shot- the web has failed me thus far. Looking to make triple flat rolls swing in line behind each other for short range transport- does anyone have a set of Bexon Blew rollers (Cambridge) that did that as I remember? Seem to think that the third roller had a swan neck, and both second and...

How much do other members think is too much? Obviously depends on soil type & products- but what experiences of' We sprayed A & B it was safe & we got Xmm' for example. Tomorrow- Sunday- gives a spray day- but rain given for Monday Answers before Sunday appreciated!!
