Not really a precision farming thread but mulling over options while spot spraying thistles with a quad mounted sprayer. Generally creating spirals around the field and repeatedly spraying some plants in error! Option two is to put the sprayer on a tractor with second person and walk along...

Looking for options and ideas on how to remove someone’s sewage treatment unit from my land. patch of field leased out for garden and kids pony back in 2012. Agreement was that when kids move on from pony then ground comes back. You can see where this is heading already unfortunately. ‘Can we...

Anyone made or modified existing tools to create a wire tension gauge when installing or repairing wire fences? There are a couple available commercially which makes me think someone will have a diy version? I’m generally on 2.5mm twin strand mild steel barbed. Sounds like a good idea to have...

Wet field that we surround upstream of my holding was sold ten years ago. new owners used it as a recreational field and despite their regular reassurance that they didn’t want to live there are now applying for a certificate of lawfulness. no point in getting overly cross about the sneaky...

Odd scenario as us often the case. Running a rear mower on 540 pto and investigating any options to alter it to 1000 speed pto so that it would be compatible with a front mounted mower that runs 1000 speed. annoyingly the tractors rear pto speed opinions are 540e or 1000 speed. Thinking about...

Possibly covered already somewhere but.. temporary grassland reseeded every few years automatically becomes permanent pasture on bps field use code despite my continued updating. In a short rotation the break to an alternative crop from grass keeps this irritation at bay but in a long rotation...

Any opinions appreciated. Mulling over adapting a tired excavator track motor I have ‘under the bench’ to run as an auger drive for post hole boring. Theoretically one bracket up from the carriage mounting ring to the quick hitch pins and then another bracket down from the track drive sprocket...

Refurbishing hydraulics and control system on sprayer boom controls. Vickers valves which can stay but hoping to replace the electrics. attached are valve decals and the control box. Two questions for the collective wisdom. Firstly, what is this valve definition and secondly can I bypass the...

Looking to source a plain soil leading disc for a drill project that is bigger than the normal range. Using a 460mm plain disc at present and want to try something nearer 600mm. There’s a few around the 500mm diameter but nothing I can find bigger than that. Obviously there’s stud pcd...

Anyone have any bright, simple and ideally affordable solutions for tool and spare parts storage in the load bay for double cab pick up trucks? Obviously initially a pair of knee pads are on the shopping list but I’d like to aim slightly higher. Drawers under false load bed and then a...

Looking for wisdom, failing that ‘quick bodges and creations’. Elderly but functional slurry tanker is beginning to implode. If everything but the tank wasn’t working fine I’d probably scrap the thing but as it only gets occasional use for 3-4 loads at a time the sensible options are limited...

Anyone had sight of a weed puller machine? Hydraulically driven with gangs of tyres used to rip out weeds like charlock etc. I’ve made some enquires and they exist but are proving difficult to get hold of. Able to make one in the workshop but would appreciate any information on hydraulic motor...

Any opinions on the most practical sort of hedge trimmer brackets for axle mounting? Retro fitting a set so exploring all options. In this instance the trimmer is a twyman and the tractor is a t series Valtra. Any pictures obviously appreciated. Thanks.

Is it just me that finds it almost impossible to fill the quad fuel tank without drips, spills or other general fuel wastage? The tanks aren’t easily accessible and visibility is limited. Quad in question happens to be a Honda but they’re all similar. I usually get a couple of Jerry cans of...

Looking for a 4.9litre block Valtra. N141/142 I’d appreciate any links or information. Thanks

Looking for the usual swift collective knowledge of forum members on a theoretically simple matter.. As I understand the terms and conditions for the above mentioned AB9 bird food stewardship option, I can vary the area in any year as long as I have more than the minimum requirement (2%) to...

Running a middle aged 4 series fendt and looking for a companion so as to spread the work over two tractors rather than swap existing tractor in against another similar. Theoretically I ought to look for something as good if not better in the interests of moving the business forwards, blah blah...

Anyone know of a supplier for a few chain link depth set kits for front linkage? Ideally top link tractor end to lower link machine ends with chain, springs and some form of adjusters for fine tuning. Chains will do the job but I’d like to build in some form of shock absorber for the less...
