    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    The GPS boys use less seed and fert. If he's got it, use it to it's full potential

    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    I probably couldn't either. The person breaking in in front of me would wipe out my mark/rip up what I've sowed 🤦🏻‍♂️. My ploughing is equally as bad as my sowing so there's usually a bit of work to do on the endrigs and corners before I come along and make another rid up for the rest of the year 😂

    I meant if you're just mapping the boundary without sowing

    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    Until you get used to dropping in at the right time you could use the pre start on the drill when setting off. I back off the rate a little bit on the 5th endrig run too to make up for the overlap. Depending on how your tramline sequencing triggers you definitely have to keep an eye on it as...

    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    That's usually the way, at least if you're on autosteer you don't have to worry about it being straight 😂 Do you tramline with the drill and is your metering on a landwheel or electric?

    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    If you're on GPS then yeah definitely go round the outermost run first to map the field then you'll have everything you need and you'll know exactly where your tramline run is. Might not even need to put in an endrig mark if you can set it up so it tells you when you lift. I'm still on the mk1...

    Idiots guide to sowing with a one pass

    On 4m/28m here. I first run round the field on the endrig tramline (4th round) with my marker out in to the centre of the field so it's in the middle of the 5th run and that's my mark to lift out and drop my front tank. Depends also on your forward speed, if going a bit slower in ploughed...

    Excavator buckets.

    @fermerboy Eurofab. Another full set delivered here last week specced with MTG teeth and floating pins for a 16 tonner Beware, some UK manufacturers aren't actually making the buckets, just building them up/welding together parts that are plasma cut in China and shipped over in containers...

    Wooden roller bearings

    Keruing would probably be a good wood to use for a bearing. Twice as hard as oak and it's the wood used on lorry trailer floors

    Anyone use a hydraulic winch?

    I've got a 9 tonne DP winch and a 15 tonne Rotzler, both hydraulic. A 20 tonne line pull is a huge amount of force and would be very rare to get that amount of pull winching out agriculture stuff. You need to build a sprag that will dig in to the ground preferably with the winch line either...

    What do you think of your Milwaukee grease gun?

    I was just about to post a similar question about Milwaukee GG. Does anyone else have the problem of grease still coming out the end after you've finished pumping? Mine likes to dribble out a stream of grease for a while after you've finished. Aside from that it's a brilliant bit of kit. I was...

    Who can tell me about running a horse lorry?

    Stay away from a Daf. At some point the ECU will fail for no reason other than it might be a Tuesday.

    Sturgeon Gone.

    All Sturgeon did during Covid was wait for Boris to do something then she came behind and added on to it. Her and her party are a sham and have wasted and frittered away collosal sums of money. The education system which was once the best in the UK is now ridiculous. She showed her true...

    Strip till or direct drilling with a tight rotation

    When do you finish combining roughly and what's your window for drilling? Do you have spare tractor/manpower for stale seedbed prep?

    Side mounted seed pipe on MF7720s

    @Bumble Bee I've a plate on mine that uses the bolt holes for the loader bracket and goes back to the three bolts just below the cab. Run two pipers for seed and fert and is very stable. Will send you some pictures

    Log splitter

    Ifor Williams have started making a 25 tonne splitter. Fairly expensive but they look very well made. (Cue IW trailer bashing ;) )

    New defender towing .

    I used to tow my 18ft ifor Williams with my D4 every day and would say it's the best 4x4 for towing. The drawbar height with the standard towball is slightly too low for unladen trailer but as soon as there is weight on it it's fine. What tyres do you have on your trailer as there is a fair...
