    JCB TM320s vs Manitou MLA-T 533-145V pivot steer.

    Currently have an 2006 TM300 with 6500hrs. Hardly missed a beat to be fair, brilliant machine! 1000-2000 hr second hand would be the ideal choice, not many second hand manitou's about. Andy mellor seems to have loads of jcb's on his yard. Having a demo manitou in january. Riverlea are good!

    JCB TM320s vs Manitou MLA-T 533-145V pivot steer.

    Considering one of these machines, just wandering on other peoples experiences with them? The dealership for manitou has far better service and backup than jcb in our area!! Don't know much about the manitou but I hear many complaints about ad blue problems from jcb owners. Many Thanks!

    To much protein for 7/8 month weaned sukler calves?!

    I feel they doo better on loose house straw and tidy food instead of leaving them with the cows in the cubicles over winter. Used to do that and they were worse for coughing aswell

    Starting a dairy business

    My thinking is that dairying would be better financially (if done the right way obviously) and would secure a better future for the farm than sucklers! The old man used to milk the conventional way up until 2004. I seem to spend a lot of time working on the farm and having various cary on that...

    Starting a dairy business

    I would probably outwinter heifers but would probably keep the cows inside due to sacrificing to much ground out of grass. We already outwinter suklers and its the best thing ever! Far healthier for them and much better for their feet than concrete
