    European tractors in Canada?

    They have their issues, seems it's electrical issues and hyd leaks etc. Engines and trans do alright here. But yeah mostly drawbar work pulling etc. We use them for hauling wagons and trailers mostly to have a heavy tractor not getting bossed about by the implement. They get fair amount of pto...

    Ad Blue Delete East Anglia

    If they didn't impose these very stringent emissions laws I feel like the engines would be so much further ahead. The last of the pre emissions engines were reliable and didn't belch too much smoke. Although yes maybe they did emit a lot of the nox. Honestly how good for the environment is...

    Corn/grain maize in uk?

    doogie7530 That's not a bad yield at all! Same as what I got over here this yr, In the longer season areas though further south in Ontario they can get 5-6t/acre. I sold at $261 a tonne Canadian so a lot less than you are getting. What seeding population and hybrid is that?

    Corn/grain maize in uk?

    Yeah I imagine it has its challenges in your climate. It's almost similar to my specific part on the province, was never enough season heat units to mature but with better hybrids and weather getting a bit warmer it does alright now. I think most here take off between 20-25% and it is quite...

    Few harvest pics from Ontario canada

    No problems getting all the corn off. It's a pretty easy threshing crop really. Of course tougher as moisture is up above 25% but run cylinder slow and close it down some. Mine had some rock damage so concave was bent a bit leaving a few kernels here and there. Apparently filler plates between...

    Few harvest pics from Ontario canada

    Yes! few small things are added on this old model such as a curtain inside to help with corn cobs I guess and a deflector so the chopper doesn't throw cobs back in but other than that just the same. Can use the general chaffer and sieve but I did swap a higher capacity corn chaffer in. Most are...

    Fascinates me how corn is now grown for grain in so many areas it never used to be, Just curious how much is grown in Uk for dry grain? In my area in Ontario(canada) corn for grain wasn't even a popular thing before 2000ish neither was soybeans but now they make up a big chunk of the crops in...

    pebd99: sorry but no chance that will combine. Especially if you say you've had frost and leaves turned silver. I looked on that heat unit mp and your in aberdeenshire scotland? What maturity corn did you plant? I'm in a short season area in Ontario as far as good corn growing goes here, And...

    Few harvest pics from Ontario canada

    Yeah yields were decent enough but keep in mind high land values here. I felt for you guys in the west with the drought. And from what I hear was worse as you go into sask? Hardly getting the seed back from some crops

    Few harvest pics from Ontario canada

    Few pics from harvesting soybeans and corn this fall. Beans dissapointed a bit, 45 bushels/acre 1.22 tonne/acre cane off at 15% moisture Corn was good for this area, limited on heat units so early day corn to mature in time. Ran 160 bushel an acre converted to dry. 4.06 tonne/acre Moistures were...
