    Soil washing away

    With the Gt. Ouse having made the national news for flooding round Bedford, there are various photos popping up on local groups showing the extent of the floods. What stuck me was the colour of the water and how much soil must be washing away. The 2 pics are both of the ouse, one last summer...

    Amazone sprayer hydraulic problem.

    We've got a ux4200 and since the last time we hitched it up some of the hydraulics are running very slow. The steering axle is fine, as is lifting the boom and unfolding. Lowering the boom and folding are painfully slow. Amazone and our dealers are not being overly rapid at responding so I just...

    Bedding up turkeys

    Just wondering how others bed turkeys up. We're currently rolling bales out and forking them around as the birds don't spread it that much. Anyone using a chopper and blowing it in? If so do you get eye/ lung problems from it? Thanks

    Should UK ag go organic

    Been thinking about this for a while. We are currently losing various chemicals, and realistically are likely to lose more in the future than are approved as new ones. Add to this the fact that the current ones are having more issues with resistance, and you start to question their use. Pushing...

    6215 autopower or dd

    Currently looking at downsizing the crawler as it's bigger than we need and I don't think it's doing the ground a lot of good particularly on the headlands. We're trying a few makes but the current favourite is probably a jd6215r. We've had one on demo with a direct drive gearbox and got on well...

    Jd 2630 and Amatron 3

    Trying to run these two together so that the Amatron 3 runs the auto section and the rest of the sprayer functions with the 2630 running parallel tracking. If the 2630 is unplugged the Amatron runs the auto section fine along with the rest of the sprayer, however if the 2630 is plugged in it...

    Large used sprayers

    Following the thread a while ago I'm planning on going to a wider sprayer and switching to liquid fert. The question is do I stay trailed or switch to self propelled. Currently using a Jd832 behind a 6430, has always felt well balanced with enough power without being too heavy. A lot of the...

    Idiots guide to Liquid Fert

    Thinking about switching to liquid fertiliser, but have never looked into it before so could do with some basic information. It would tie in with swapping the sprayer so what would I need to look for on the replacement? What are the best nozzles to use? Will they go on the multiple nozzle bodies...
