    JCB TM Dash Gone

    Anyone any experience of the dashboard failing on a JCB TM320S. Was there one day then the next it's gone. All that is happening is the hazard light on the dash is flashing slowly. No fuel/temp gauge either.

    Employee On Farm Accommodation Taxation Query

    Any one familiar with Section 99(1) ITEPA 2003 and its relationship to the National Minimum Wage? The first bit I believe allows for tax free accommodation and council tax for certain professions that need to live on site/be on call such as herdsmen/on call vets etc. So someone's salary can be...

    Old Heatime System Worth Anything?

    Have an old system and maybe 30 of the Hr-ldn type heatime collars. Was still working 2 months ago. Unsure whether it’s worth anything. I don’t think Allflex support it anymore.

    Contracting Costs

    How are current fuel/labour/machinery costs going to affect pricing to customers this year? Fuel the biggest one. 175 hp tractor here on the road is using £5-£6/hr more fuel at 80p than 50p as an example. Some may say use farmers fuel but if you're running modern kit on GTL it's not really an...

    N instead of DAP maize drilling

    Maize DAP starter fert cost plus the transport issue of only needing a few tons is problematic. Have plenty of straight N. Is there a safe amount to put that close to the seed? I'm guessing not much at all.

    Anyone using MyKuhn portal for ordering/pricing of parts? Any idea whether I should be expecting discount off these prices or do they operate different pricing depending on overnight/stock order situation? Not ordered Kuhn bits for years. Thanks.

    CFA's Post BPS

    Anyone prepared a new contract farming agreement with post BPS in mind? What changes do you anticipate they'll be in them. Been a fairly standard document for years with so much for farmer, so much for contractor and a % split of profits. Usually the BPS has been in there in the past perhaps...

    Who is responsible for homeowners rain water?

    Have a field and on the opposite site of the road is a house which flooded last year (as did many in this particular extreme event). It sits a good 30 cm lower than the road already and the ditch/pipe which deals with their excess water goes under the road and into a ditch which goes away from...

    Heatime Collars

    Does anyone know the current suppliers of the Heatime collars. After the HR-LDn ones. Used to go as SCR heatime. At one point NMR supplied them, maybe they still do. Heard it's Allflex now but they are sounding vague and quoting for parts I don't recognise. Thanks

    How does a non government organisation claim to know my BPS area?

    As the title I've had a non government organisation claim to know the area I claim on my BPS forms as they are claiming it is different to the area I've put on another form. Is this possible? Is this info freely available or available to anyone if they pay? I am aware of the very inaccurate...

    Selling machinery privately

    We have a piece of machinery we may sell privately. It's of a reasonable value, max of £40k. I would usually trade machinery in and have no experience of selling things worth more than a few k. So possibly a stupid question but what is the etiquette regarding money? Presumably full payment in...

    RP4 Hardcore Tracks

    We've got a few of these to do under a mid tier agreement. Plan A was concrete sleepers but these seem more difficult to get. I would just concrete them but that appears to be out of spec. The alternative is to compact hardcore and then put 50 mm of finer material on top. Any ideas what would be...
