Well, it's finally come to decision time. Need a meeting with partners over Christmas break to decide a way forwards. We can't sustain the losses we are enduring indefinitely, nor would it be prudent to. We had a whole farm review this year, bank required it, in which the conclusion was we are...
What do you use between the plough and a Vaddy Rapid? We currently go with our Express, 'cos it's what we have. Does a good enough job, but a bit slow as its only a 3m. Also use it for min till with the ST bar on, so good use of asset. However, it's just eaten its DD press again, so needs...
Ok, drive it myself. 800-1000 hrs/yr. Sick of being bounced around, and my back not the best........basically buggered! 400 acres arable at home, corn cart on over 1000 acres contract combining away, c 150 acres haylage. Min till rape in and out, plough and express 2nd wheats and WB. Sow with 3...
We have a 2008 600tt, can only just keep up at peak times, in fact didn't this year. Do we swap now for one of the last 600's, or do we wait a couple of years and get a clean 780? Last of 600's seem better than early 700's, stand to be corrected.
Looking at cash flows, how can I justify the cost of establishing crops, when they are looking like a loss maker before we start? Should I be looking at a year off? Perhaps do something radical, like get a job with sensible hours and a realistic wage!
Any one got one or tried one? Very impressed with them at Agritechnica, but real life is different. Neighbour, with whom we work, has a 3yo 820, been a good machine, thinking of swapping in for a new machine. Are these about yet?
Looking at a year old one, any user comments. Currently using contractors to bale 300 acres cereals, plus c1000 bales haylage. This would come with some contract work to do, so looks we could be better off going down this route.
Looking for some figures based on experience of running these turbines. We currently have planning for 1 50kw turbine. We have been advised to change to an EC55 turbine, slightly higher, 24m tower, than we have consent for. We are going to try and change and get 2 turbines instead of 1, moving...
Is there anyone who does chaser bin hire? Done a google search, can't see anyone there. Don't really want to buy until customers have seen the benefit, and are happy to pay for the service.
Hi all, we are changing from a 460 TT to a 600tt. In order to help with logistics planning, both at home and with customers, could those of you with experience please give realistic average achievable work rates in spring barley and wheat? TIA
