    FETF 2024

    FETF50 Variable rate controller for seed drills, sprayers and fertiliser spreaders. Does anyone know for certain if this has to include the actual hardware to adjust the metering unit or can it be a variable rate controller in the cab. i.e. an Isobus screen with variable rate capability to...

    Capital grants - Farming Equipment and Technology Fund 2024

    Thanks for that Wesley! Fair point well made. Being too clever doesn’t come naturally so might err on the side of caution!!! Will try and talk to someone over there.

    Capital grants - Farming Equipment and Technology Fund 2024

    Interesting! I guess I’ll have to see if I think my application would be approved. As I understand it, if your application is rejected you can’t reapply until the next round of applications is opened. So if my initial wish is rejected I can reapply next time with a more conservative application...

    Capital grants - Farming Equipment and Technology Fund 2024

    Hello folks, I have some questions you may be able to help with. 1. When can we apply? I have signed up for email alerts but didn't know if there was anyone on here 'in the know'? 2. Can you apply for more than one item on each grant option? I know you can apply for more than one grant in...

    How much have you planted and how much is lost

    Just over half drilled. Of that I reckon 10% lost and 25% of the rest battling with slugs.

    Classics Earning their keep.

    1964 B450 working hard pulling a 12m 8500kg set of rolls. 55hp doing what would normally use 120hp. Admittedly a little slower. Have a video but can’t figure out how to upload that.

    B450 and TSR102 Plough. Good match?

    Hello folks, after a little advice if possible. I haven't done any match ploughing for a few years and that was only in the commercial classes but have an opportunity of getting my hands on a TSR102 plough. I've been hankering after a classic for a while and I know where there is a...

    Fire engine to crop sprayer adapter?

    Morning folks, I believe there is an adaptor you can purchase that allows fire engines to connect to your sprayer to enable it to become a water tender. Am I imagining this as I can’t find anything online?! if anyone knows what I’m looking for could you post a link? A lot of fires round our...

    Log splitter options

    http://www.hydrocut.co.uk/log-splitter Ours must be over 40 years old and still winds it’s way through anything you put in front of it. Couldn’t be simpler.

    Vaderstad topdown vs Kuhn performer

    Having sold both in the past in my previous life (was in the trade for 15 years, now farming) I'd have the Performer on my own farm if I needed that sort of machine. IMO the Kuhn is better and stronger built, a lot more clearance in the machine and able to work deeper if and when necessary. A...

    Establishing Catch Crops

    I'm planning to do something similar this year with aim to produce a carpet for the Sly to drill through. We found that the drill ran much cleaner through volunteer mustard last year. My theory is if I can produce a carpet for the drill to run on we will be able to drill in less than ideal...

    Classics Earning their keep.

    Spotted you over the hedge yesterday Bill. Had a wheeled mate along with you as well? How is it ploughing up? Spring wheat going in fine over here apart from the wet spots which are still damn wet!! Bit of moling in order this year for sure.

    Fed up with trade in values

    Advertise each machine for what you think they are worth and see how much interest you get. If there is a lot there is a sale for yourself to be had. If not you have the trade in bids to fall back on. Nothing to lose.

    Demo Kuhn Aurock

    Hello all, My name is Will Waterer and I'm the mug in the squatting photo!! I work at Kuhn UK as a sales specialist for Non Inversion products among other things. So yes I am biased and make no apology for that, but I do believe we have a solution available to us now which can tick a lot of...

    Combine Tyres. 680/85r32 Michelin CEREXBIB. User experience?

    Interesting. Any idea what the tyre pressures would have been at? I'm guessing the 680's are designed to run at a much lower pressure.
