    Sparse hay fields - Leave or Top?

    Sparse hay fields - Leave or Top?

    We keep back about 20 acres each year to cut for hay around July/August but with the weather the way it is right now the grass just isn’t growing so I’m looking at our lawn and how we deal with that and wondering whether or not it’s worth giving the fields a quick going over with the topper. Has...

    Advice wanted on which GPS to get

    Thanks all, very helpful. The Trimble displays were also ones I'd looked at but wasn't entirely sure about. Reading the details it states a bunch of different accuracy availabilities from <30cm with EGNOS to <2.5cm with CentrePoint RTK. Do you know what accuracy it comes with out of the box and...

    Grass growing advice wanted

    We'll be in North Wiltshire outside Swindon. I'll be trying to get info from the previous owners however it's been an equestrian facility for a long time so I doubt I'll get much out of them in terms of farming it

    Grass growing advice wanted

    Oh totally, I fully get that I'm going to have to learn a little from the locals but right now I don't even know enough about timings or anything so I need the academic knowledge just as much. Any general advice you'd like to give? ;)

    Grass growing advice wanted

    Lol yeah maybe. To be honest I'm looking more to do it as a way to increase my farming knowledge and ability (I just started tractor driving with a contractor last harvest at the age of 38 lol) as well as either using as feed for the horses onsite or being sold off to cover costs. I'm not...

    Grass growing advice wanted

    Right I'll start this off by saying upfront that I'm really pretty new to this sort of thing so please be gentle with me and remember we all have to start somewhere ;) So, what I'm after is basically advice on how to get to a point where I have some form of useable/saleable grass-type product...

    Advice wanted on which GPS to get

    I'm looking at buying myself a gps system and am looking for some advice as to which ones work well as well as the pros and cons of certain systems. I pretty much just do simple grass work so tedding and raking etc but will hopefully get into doing more jobs like mowing, spraying and drilling in...

    Claas Communicator 2 Operating Manual???

    Ok so I know this is a long shot but is there such a thing as an operating manual for the Claas Communicator 2 system that works with the 3300 Quadrant baler? I'm hoping to get the chance to run the baler through the harvest this year and would love to get a head start on how the box works as I...
