I see Shearwell are launching a new livestock record program/app. Anyone tried it? One of these monthly payments jobbies. Looks too expensive to me compared with the current Shearwell program.

Any idea where I could get an operators manual for a Deutz Fahr M660 combine? Thanks

Currently getting quotes to concrete my shed floor. Will be used for bale/machinery storage. So telehandler will be in and out often. Reinforcing mesh will be used. But what strength should the concrete be? Quotes have come back for C30. I assumed it should be RC45 for this sort of use. Any...

Anyone know if discs for Atkinson lime spreaders are available anywhere? I've got an old 2t (maybe) model with some sort of rubber discs, which are a bit goosed.

Any Benelli M2 owners here? Is it okay to use 3 inch cartridges? Feel very tight loading into magazine, as if it's going to jam. Put plenty of 2 and 3/4 through it and are fine. It is 3 inch chamber.

Can crimps be used to join two different gauges of wire? For example, 3.15mm plain to 2.5m?

My sulky fert spreader isn't registering anything in the hopper. Showing 0kg. Any ideas where to start looking to fix?

Getting a bit fed up this winter with tyres on the pit, so have been pricing these woven covers you can get. I've had a look through some old threads on here. Have talked to folk about Secure Covers, Gale Breaker folk, and Silostop. All seem fairly similar, and all quite helpful. But I have just...

Has just been given the heave ho. Not good news for any of the farmer led groups? Looks like the civil servants may get their way.

Any one have one? We have a few Hitachi battery tools which we get on well with, so considering one. Currently have a Makita corded which is excellent, but cordless might be handy for the little jobs, save lugging the genny about. But will they be any use?

Any reviews on the Dewalt staple gun? Keen on one of some sort, and I like the idea of not having to mess around with gas. Staple size seems to be good too. @Willie adie, @tepapa ,tried it?

Interesting event about grazing coming up in Perth, featuring TFF's very own @scholland. Info here.

I'm going to be applying for my shotgun licence in the near future. I don't have, and have no immediate plans to get, a rifle, but would it be sensible/possible to apply for a firearm certificate now in case I decide to in the future? Or just stick with the shotgun certificate at the moment?

All the fencing I've put up has been with 75 x 75 square stobs. I'm actually paying for this next fence I'm putting up myself. Are round stobs any stronger or better lasting? Or should I stick to what I know? (if we assume same type of wood and treatment)

Hi folks, I've been doing some paperwork, and I've noticed that our telehandler's tax class is 'Works Truck'. Is this correct? Should it be agricultural machine like the rest of the tractors? It is purely used for farm work, if that makes a difference. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a detergent for putting through the pressure washer when cleaning housing? And what are folk using for disinfectant? Virkon sprayed on with knapsack?

Hi folks Wrapper counter doesn't seem to be working. It's had a new sensor but no joy. The screen seems to be working fine, but doesn't move of zero when it's turning. Any ideas?

New to me tractor, first with electronic linkage control. I've no idea what I'm doing, can't get linkage to drop, I move the big knob on the left and they move up and down over about 20cm. Help! You can maybe tell I'm not a machinery man.

Hi folks I'm looking for peoples thoughts on the best size and layout for a new lambing shed for 120 ewes. I've had a look through past threads and got some ideas, but I've never lambed sheep inside, so I've no idea what's best. Few considerations, It would be for Cheviots, very exposed site...
