    HM TRAILERS

    We hire in 2x18t trailers each year so they're either new or nearly new. We like them a lot, build quality seems very good, paint was good, we've never had any issues with one. If we were in the market to buy one we would likely go HM as they're only down the road from us. Not sure exactly how...

    Combinables Price Tracker

    😂 You weren't to know it would be anyone on here's fields, I was intrigued to see if any of our fields made it into the shot, actually quite interesting to see them from above as we can't use drones due to our proximity to the airport so never get aerial views. That good looking field in...

    Combinables Price Tracker

    Cracking view of some of our very shite wheat at the bottom and rhs of that 2nd pic :facepalm: (its not all that bad). Dark green funny-shaped field in the middle is a neighbour who is a very good farmer and as usual, has superb looking crops all over (out of view of this photo) despite the...

    Soil temp is 6 degrees

    Yes we did go for a 3m DTS, used it for 4 years, odd mistake made along the learning curve of strip till but overall pretty positive. Got made redundant from that job as the farm was contracted out due to a farm owner passing away suddenly, all the machinery was sold and a manager no longer...

    Educate me, Spearhead winter wheat.

    You definitely need a spring wheat variety now. Save the winter wheat seed for next autumn and up the rate a bit.

    Fertilizing winter cereal

    I'd argue looking at a crop that's getting hungry is worse, osr and wheats are moving despite the rains. Messy tramlines will be cultivated and gone once harvests done. Although fair enough if someone is direct drilling and doesn't want rutted tramlines but you are trying to grow a profitable...

    Fertilizing winter cereal

    We did just shy of 1000 ac on Tues-Wed this week just gone, mix of first and seconds wheats, actually travelled much better than expected, some wet corners and a bit tacky but overall worth getting it on. Lot of the wheat started to look like it needed it once you get out into the field. Small...

    Question for 36mtr /+ wide sprayer operators ??

    The domes on the tractors take into account whether your driving up or downhill or tilting to the left or right slightly on a side hill and compensate the steering accordingly, that works pretty well on a mounted implement such as a drill as long as your link arms are tight. On a big trailed...

    Question for 36mtr /+ wide sprayer operators ??

    Practice, working your way up from smaller boom widths helps I found, and we run a 60cm length of rubber hose hanging down from the end of the boom which gives a visual guide on where the end of the boom actually is and the boom height out on the end although the height is controlled by the...

    Best air powered and manual pop riveter?

    We borrow the 18v Makita riveter from our local dealership if we need to do a serious amount of riveting. It's bloody brilliant!

    Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

    Think Leoch meant the actual video is one big advert from the Youtuber now, not the skippable YouTube ads that are becoming more and more frequent.

    PA CERTIFICATE UPDATES

    It's not a new requirement from what I saw just pointing out the fact that many who use applicators on potato planters, as an example, don't actually have the right qualifications. PA4G/S covers standalone applicators or spreaders not mounted on other machinery such as a planter.

    Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

    Electricity cables would be the main reason here!

    Be aware of this potential harvest killer especially in the dark!

    I know not everyone has precision farming kit but we have every telegraph pole, pylon, tree, manhole etc marked for every field we farm on our Greenstar screens as a flag that shows up on the operators screen when you load the field your working onto the screen. So even in the dark you know...

    The war in Ukraine...

    Seems a few things need clearing up and news articles read a bit clearer, 1st, earlier you said missiles attacking the Kremlin, they were not missiles they were small drones clearly visible on the videos, missiles travel considerably faster! I doubt drones that size could reach Moscow from...

    Sulky DX30+

    Probably not the case but our X40+ has a wide open wash position for the shutters? Wouldn't have that would it?
