Morning all Walking round the farm (not good for morale) and watching reasonable sized areas of ground fall foul to ponding, slug damage and other wet winter related issues, I am tempted to 'patch up' with cover or catch crops. Little to no experience of this method before so asking for advice...

Hi all, 2 x JD 2630 screens and 2 x SF 3000 receivers stolen this week from tractors near Rye in East Sussex. Do not expect to see them again but a reminder for people to be vigilant before silly season arrives. Has anyone had any experience of finding out where this stuff ends up? On the...

Hi all We have started cutting OSR slowly but steadily and thought guys quickly turn to cultivations. Ideally we leave the OSR stubble to green up for 10-14 days, especially as we have started earlier than ever.... But wondering whether we need some rain first to make the cultivation more...

Afternoon all... Am just wondering if there is anyone out there who doesn't change their tyres on sprayers/fert spreader tractors from one season to the next, and what width tyre they run. With all the tyre technology out there these days, surely there is a good 'one size fits all' tyre without...

Hi all. Looking for some pallet racking to put up in the barn adjoining the workshop. Where we can store all the spares etc for all the cultivation equipment as opposed to chucking it all in one big heap in the workshop. Anyone got any cheap and cheerful solutions?!

Morning all. In our losing fight against rats in machinery I am on the hunt for some mothballs, that we can tuck inside the dash of various machines to stop them chewing through wires. Surprisingly difficult uglt to find- had anyone had any luck with using mothballs or better still know of a...

WANTED! Does anyone have a 3m Simba Freeflow drill, in good condition? Had trouble getting the spring beans in deep enough with the trusy combination this year and got protracted emergence. South east based. Also interested to know whether 190hp would pull a 4m? On Romney Marsh so medium...

Evening all Am looking into the feasibility of a 50kw farm, via panels on a grain store roof. The intention is to power the farmhouse, farm electrics, but most importantly the grain driers. We are 100% arable so no milking robots to worry about... We have an annual consumption of 65-75,000kwh...
