We have a good amount of straw bedding fym, and my aim is to try make it into compost; buying a purpose built compost turner is out; but I think I might be able to make something?? I remember reading a profi where a farmer bought one brand of spreader due to even spread; and I’d like to discuss...

Im thinking of getting into this sector, only in a very small way, and would just like to learn as much as possible. I have zero knowledge, so interested in hearing anyones opinions on the life cycle and farming process, especially anyone not in big kit. Cheers

Any truth to the rumour that there is 1-2 confirmed cases in Uk this week?

Dont want to get into my little find, but is there any cheap way of bringing back a machine from any of the Scandanavian countries without getting into silly money?

Went to look at a second hand flail mower yesterday for my little 35hp kioti. I brought the tractor to the dealer (if you could call it that) to make sure the tractor could lift it. Even with free delivery I knew if I had any issue comeback would be difficult with this lot. When I started up...

A friend of mine got his tractor stuck tonight, on a hill, against a tree. I was going to go down in the morning and pull him out with the volvo, but I dont want to pull it sideways and damage the rear hub seals, I have 6ft pallet forks, so lifting around hitch area with a timber block might do...

I guess the diy is the best bit. Im thinking of making up a small landleveller for my 35hp tractor for lawns. We have a 9ft already on the farm, its a standard Irish one, that everyone has or has copied, and I was never really a fan. Taafe make a lump of a leveller, but its concept I like as it...

Heard this on the radio and thought id share it.

Have my mind just about made up to buy a dji mavic mini to help promote my business (tree moving would look well from a drone) with a few shots, plus i can do aerial surveys of trees with it. Ill probably buy a second hand pc (not a laptop) to edit etc. I know videos are big files so could...

I see the german farmers are protesting but it looks like their reasons are very, very valid. Can anyone pop up a link?

Anyone run one; or witness one?

Anyone using a simple effective foot trimming crate? Not the professional Wopas . Just a simple wind up thing. A farm i worked on had one, home built. Just curious to what other members use? Nugent have a decent one??

We used to run a Kramer 512 sl. Great little machine. But we sold it as it was starting to give trouble. We need to be able to load 700kg pallets into transit vans; extend up to front through the back; and then be a multi purpose farm machine. We zerograze and being able to fit up between two...

Can anyone tell me what the bottom red light in the photo is for?

Bad day; broke both the back window and right hand door; zero grazing a field which was cut for whole crop. Our 7740 is 1995; so has a door frame; I have Wurth bonding. Local dealer said to paint the glass before I use the bonding? Paint shop says paint won’t stick to glass. Anyone able to...

I bought a set of Pedders shocks, but I’m unsure which way the washers should sit. Have I installed them correctly or should I remove one of the washers from the top where it’s touching the chassis and place it on the lower rubber but between it and the chassis??

As we move away from a splash plate; are the band spreaders/dribble bars; trailing shoes more even? It’s one down side to splash plate.
