Run a 14m Pottinger (new this season) and 4 year old 9m Malone here. Christ we can cover some acres when both are running. Malone has hook tines and does a better job picking up dry grass in lighter crops. Its built well too. The Pottinger does a much better job in very heavy grass. It's also...

How are folks with large fencers earthing them sufficiently to maximise their potential? I am needing to improve my earthing here to gain better results from my fencer I think

Charlton Park Estate for their digester? Think they wholecrop a fair bit for themselves so may be worth asking

Weidemann 1350. Will carry 2 bags of fert about the yard no problem. Does all the yard work; loading straw blower, scraping up, putting all the bales of silage around the yards. Will muck out the smaller sheds and, when using the Manitou telehandler mucking out the bigger sheds, this little...

100%. When getting our boxed beef back from the butchers i am staggered at the origin of those boxes. Beef being bought in from right across Europe. I was staggered when I first started noticing this. Local butchers supporting solely local farmers are just not a thing any more. Even farm...

Our local pub approached us to supply them with some beef items. They only want to pay wholesale prices (thats what they are used to doing I suppose) which means I would have to compete with their current wholesale butcher and so ultimately what is the point in me suppling them. Ive had enough...

Being only youngish I used to think, in my youth, that money could only be made made with brand new tractors and enormous sheds. Why on earth would anyone want to bother selling direct I used to think! Then my wife and I took on our own tenancy and I grew up! Selling direct has opened my eyes to...

I don't classify myself as regen but try my hardest to get my grazing right and trying to do as much from forage. We are selling some of our beef (3 AA beasts/month) through a self service vending machine farm shop. We do a further 2 beasts/month into boxes across the country. We are proving...

Ordered some from Unbrako last year. Made precisely to the sizes we wanted. Great to deal with and good delivery. No quibbles, highly recommend

Yes think this may work to keep it simple enough

Indeed that's my thoughts. Am wondering about getting a tub grinder in, chew up some wheat straw and feed that and top dress it with a bit of wholecrop

Stocks of hay are low, saving decent silage for calving and young stock. Weaning next week. Cows in fairly decent condition, due to start calving first week of Feb. I've a clamp full of spring barley and pea wholecrop. Taken when very ripe and dry. I don't own a mixer wagon. Would this...

Fine to cut. The forage peas are a different beast to combining peas. As long as you take them early (flowering I think) they will still be stood fine along with the barley. If you leave the forage pea too long before cutting I think it then has a knack of falling over and dragging all the...

Grow a spring barley and forage pea. Search 'Western seeds' online and its one of their arable silage mixes. Certainly wont need any inputs and will provide a decent tonnage of bulk from a single cut.

Autopower command arm and electric loader joystick. Absolute dream to drive especially on loader work out in the field. Around the yards she's a bit big and cumbersome but I've a manitou and weidemann for that stuff

I'm not a contractor and only cut my own grass. No need to rush about. Nothing too steep, just rolling cotswold hills really. Secondly I am always cutting crops that are higher in quality thus lower in bulk slightly. That being said I can cut at 14k comfortably in real heavy first cut. That's...

Yes both 3m conditioner mowers

No issues apart from the fact the tractor has a thirst for it!!

I've had a new sytle 140m for a year now. Done 1200 hrs and does everything. Double mowers, 4m power harrow, corn carting with 14t trailer and everything in between. Great little pocket rocket. An R was just too much money for me even when I did kit this M out with all the toys. I'm a one man...

Looks a great crush. However, looking at it it looks like access to the side of the cow for say a c section could be more difficult? It looks a little confined? On something like a Bateman it seems to open up really well for access. Notice you bought from Mcveigh Parker, are they in stock in...
