How is everybody getting on using their mobile outdoors recording information on livestock apps. I was using my psion in the rain the other day but couldn’t use the phone to call with out drying it first even though it is glove sensitive. Just run over my phone so need to replace it and...

I’m Replacing an ancient Amazon spreader and have decided I’m getting a Krm. Not spreading much and would go for basic L series, but looking around there are a lot of 10year old M2w. Got me thinking that having weigh cells would be great to know he actual weight applied as doing small fields...

As it looks like this weather maybe here for a while, anyone got any recommendations with the emphasis on warm. Preferably something that you still have some dexterity. TIA

My trusty power arm that’s been on the farm for 30+ years has a problem with the head angle ram extending past half way. It extends normally for the first half of travel then stops/slows right down for the rest of the way as if there is something binding on the head but retracts like normal...

As above in working condition or know where there is one. TIA.

On top of my old dryer ignition coil is a set of points. Does anyone know how they work. Getting no spark. Box is clicking but these points don’t move.Have by passed everything else. Hadn’t used the dryer for 4 years and fired up first time when I was checking it. HT lead fell off when I loaded...

What’s the best way to refit the hinge plate below. Used thunder bolts on the others and they’ve not moved. Many thanks

Whats everyones experience finishing these. Does the mothers ability to utilise grass better transfer to the lamb and help them finish or are they just like any other maternal cross. TIA

One of my less attractive features is that I have sweaty feet. Its wellie time of year again and my feet come out damp. Removing insole every day helps but anybody got a tip on how to dry them out that doesn’t involve cooking them by a radiator or wood burner. TIA

Going to have another dog and two won’t fit in my petrol ranger cab so need a canopy because of the road work I do. I’m worried that it’s going to be very noisy from the engine booming under the canopy and a lot of rattling from the canopy door. My dog really doesn’t like noisy environments...

As above. Trying to order some gates but not answering phone or messages just wondered if anyone knew.

Got offered this today. Not grazed young clover this time of year. Hardly any grass. Would be worried in the summer. Lambs are on red clover at the moment but much older stuff with some grass in it. Thoughts appreciated.

Got one ordered on the scheme. Does the design mean they stand naturally central. The sides and rear gate aren’t on the platform so any touching of the sides would transfer weight off or is this in reality not a problem. Been trying to make my own squeeze clamp weigher that fits in the...

Anybody used one of these wands on a weighing crate to read lamb tags and leave the psion on constant read.Was thinking of attaching to the side not tight to the frame. It’s a squeeze crate so their heads are roughly in the same place every time but I don’t know in reality whether the frame work...

Hi, got a MC120 that has to be cranked over for a long time to get to fire up first thing. Starts fine for the rest of the day even if you run it fir a short time. Plenty of smoke straight away when cranking. Done all the electronic stuff mentioned on a previous thread, voltage to the pump, fuse...

As above. Got badly let down on some fresh keep today for next week to put the ewes and rams in. Noticed neighbour has a reasonable acreage of well advanced volunteers and as its dry wonder if that would work or would the change in diet out way any benefit . Would I be better to just supplement...
