Thanks all !, going to give the GTR Concrete remover a shot, before I crack out the breaker and heat !

Our Pan mixer has just returned from a long-term hire and lets just hope the lads wash their selves better than they did our mixer. What products have any of you used in the past with some success ?.

Our pan mixer has just returned from a long term hire and lets say i hope the boys wash their selves better than they did our mixer. To be fair their company notified us of it early, are covering the costs of cleaning and are a good customer to us. What products has anyone had some success...

Have a look at SPEL Puraceptors, we've installed a few of them. They effectively work by a combination of a filter and an automatic shutoff which is a perfectly calibrated float which is buoyant in water but sinks in hydrocarbon.

There is also Alasdair Dick Tarmac also of Darvel, does a lot of work for us and very good to deal with. http://www.alastairdicktarmac.co.uk/ I know Macrete Road surfacing have done a few pit floors round us as well and seem to be a good job https://tar.uk.com/contact/

The larger pipe will make a difference but maybe not enough to serve showers and taps with a high peak demand. With it being potable water there are the WRAS regulations to adhere to, as either way between a booster tank set or a header tank you will need to store water for a period of time. A...

What is the end use of the water ? is it for a drinking trough only?

We use stainless steel split drive anchors and a washer.

We are massive fans of skid steers now being on our 3rd at home and use them a hell of a lot for our civils contracting as well. We have a New Holland LS185 at home and its a phenomenal machine, will out run just about any other machine in a tight yard. It will rip up loose stone but...

+1 : I bought one of these after reading this thread a few weeks ago hoping never to need it, well yesterday we had a terrible calving, calf's tongue had swollen extremely large and despite our efforts the calf couldn't get the glug by its own tongue, i kid you not a couple of pulls and it was...

Thanks , Yea twos just too wide for the adjacent feed passage and when the hurdles are only connected by the pins they get pushed in and out easily

Firstly apologies as I know I am breaking the first and most sacred rule of TFF and be assured I will fully repent over the forthcoming calving & gate tying season. The first rule of course being “suggesting there is a better solution than baler twine too any problem!”. Each year we build...

Unfortunately no longer on farm, however we had an Angus that was 28 year old when we eventually had to put her down. Calved down each year without issue and you couldn't pick out her calf at weaning time. 9 of her daughters in our breeding herd so she lives on !. Still a long way off the record...

You'll not regret bull pens / calving pens!. We have permanent bull pens split between a straw bedded layback and a feed passage area which we scrape clean, its also good being able to give the bulls a bespoke ration and a bit of attention individually. We have gates to allow us to lock the...

Cladco in Rutherglen, usually get us out of a jam.

We use resin anchors a hell of a lot, Hilti HY270 is my go to for just about all things. The mixing nozzles are a work of art !. Hole size is not critical but too small and there's not enough contact area with the resin. We usually float about 10mm to 20mm greater diameter than anchor being...

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273989726_Clinical_Effectiveness_of_Ivermectin_on_Bovine_Dermatophytosis I found this over the weekend when the OH swore she'd read about it, I of course scoffed at her as Ringworm is fungal...…:scratchhead:

Our stores have been hit very hard this year with ringworm , we haven't had any in over 10 years so a very naïve herd. A dozen of our neighbours calves got out one night in the back end, they got shoved into our field of 100 stores to get them off the road. I hate the stuff and want to contain...

Pinched the idea from somewhere : After looking out for a mini scraper tractor for a while, the money being asked for was rich for what was on offer, managed to pick this up off an online disposal auction and used the rubber from our snow plough that we replaced a few years ago (I knew I'd kept...

We use either Vetech Concrete or Boab Perrie of A L Perrie
