Does anyone know the tax implications of importing machinery from the EU. Is there an import tax and if so what rate, is vat payable on delivery to the UK or on purchase and when is it reclaimed?
Thank you

Quickly approaching the end of optimal timing for spring barley planting. Although the planned area will be substantially higher than normal how much will now get drilled vs a catch crop and what does get drilled will surely be at risk of being poor quality. Another 8mm today FFS!

We bought a 2016 Fendt 936 2 years ago that came with a small terminal, is it possible to upgrade to a larger 10” screen, does anyone know of any sources for used / repaired screens.
Is there a way a second screen can be installed as we have in our JD8400r?

We have applied vra P and K for years although recently Biosolids and chicken manure has made it semi redundant. We have always used SOYL to sample and create pretty maps and then prepare a recommendation. Are others still using SOYL, anyone doing anything different.
VRA nitrogen has always...
Pros and cons of each? 6m Topdown or Solo, mole draining, drilling with 12 m Avatar ( I know it’s overkill ).
Either 8RX 410 or Axion 960tt.
All input welcome.

I have the opportunity to grow around 40 ha of stubble turnips on very light Breckland following winter barley next year. I will drill, spray and fertilise them. What would they be worth to a grazier with him doing all electric fencing, water and checking etc? Years since I’ve done this but used...
I am looking for a topper to cut light grass on a dog walking field. Needs to go behind a JD Gator, must be electric start, ideally 2 m minimum cutting width. Does anyone have a suggestion or experience?

We will be building a new 2500t flat store very shortly. 4.5m storage depth. I need some low volume ventilation and prefer the idea of ducts rather than any type of pedestal, what can you recommend?
Thank you

We will soon be looking for a new 300 hp tractor, does anyone have experience of Case Optum tractors. Historically we ran Case Magnums and Quadtracs but always felt quality was a bit lacking backup however was good from Does and I have no doubt this is still true.
Really wanted a Fendt 828 but...
I have 2 grain stores with GFT drying floors and 3 others with Challow floors. I am soon to build a new store and really prefer the concrete option. GFT are no longer going, has anyone used a Pelcroft Levelair floor? It certainly looks ideal if its strong enough.

We have a 2002 6.6 metre cultipress that has covered thousands and thousands of hectares. It’s had at least 5 sets of dd rings and numerous repairs to the drawbar and is still going well. Ultimately it will need replacing soon, what is there as a suitable replacement and why hasn’t the...
I urge everyone to do this. There will be a huge number of responses from "stakeholders" that have nothing to do with your business. Don't answer like a "dick"! Closes 20th September.

Is anyone on this contract with Frontier, any experience you would like to share? I like the look of it but object to buying certified seed every year.
