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...

Looking to upgrade handling facilities a little and am looking at a new squeeze crush. The funds won't stretch to a hydraulic, all singing all dancing type job unfortunately. What I am looking for is something with a manual squeeze function capable of holding bulls and cows all the way down...

Got some lucerne seed sat in the shed ready to go. Been waiting for some rain before working the seedbed as it was so dry. Had decent rain and now it may not come dry enough for another 10 days! When's the cut off point for drilling it? Planted it upto end of August before with decent success...

Looking for a Shelbourne Reynolds dual spreader. Age slightly irrelevant but must have decent, sound metalwork and be ready for work. 1600 gal or 2000 gal models considered.

Need a lorry and drag to move some organic haylage as per the thread title ASAP. Please message if its of interest.

Got some tired PRG in the grazing rotation. Will be going into GS4 next year. Wondering about a brassica break crop. After the next round of grazing, I am wondering if a brassica crop could be direct drilled into this grass (roundup first) to provide an autumn bite? Drilled mid July, would...

As title. Telehandler plus 4 attachments. Needs moving this week if possible.

They have a machine I am tentatively interested in. What are they like to deal with? Anyone with any experience of them?

To move 2 loads (60t approx) of crimped barley from GL8 to DG8. To be done as soon as possible.

100t of Urea treated spring barley for sale. Make me an offer for it. Based near Tetbury. Need it gone sharpish due to losing tenancy on the buildings.

As title, I need to find a relatively tidy 10 to 12t trailer. It's for muck mainly, but maybe occasional grain use if pushed in the summer. The older the better in terms of my price range. What's out there? I

Require a couple of shipping containers. Was thinking of placing one at either side of an area of hardstanding and then spanning the area between them with a roof to create an undercover area to park some machinery in, pallets of minerals etc etc. Anyone done something similar?

After the recent hot weather my water trough capacities have been at their limits keeping the suckler cows and calves watered. With this in mind I plan to update the troughs for next grazing season as we make a transition to an even smaller paddock grazed system with more cows. My question is...

Never had anything to do with it. Always take spring barley as a wholecrop but looking at other options as feel I don't need the bulky nature of all that forage. What is the process involved? How would I clamp it? How do folk feed it? What sort of feed rate would you feed it to weaned suckled...

Plan to make an area of hardstanding off the yard. Currently it is part of a field. Want to strip the top soil and then utilise road planings. Will probably roll down with a vibrating roller if needs be. Would this be up to withstanding turning from lorries and machinery running around on it...

New grazing block to be rotationally grazed with cows and calves. High tensile electric fences around the boundaries with plastic posts and poly wire for dividing paddocks up. My question is what mains fencer would you recommend? Would be roughly 6km of boundary fencing plus all dividing...

With spring around the corner my attention is now on getting my grass re-seeds up together when it eventually warms up. I have new PRG leys, with no clover, which need a herbicide to take out dock seedlings, chickweed etc. I'd like to overseed these leys with clover at some point this season...

Whos bought a new one? The 4 cylinder with the new style cab and engine boost. Would love to hear the good points and the bad. Proper mixed farming, want it to run double mowers, 3m combi, 4 furrow plough but also be nimble enough around the yards with a straw blower on the odd occasion.

Neighbouring arable farmer has approached me about renting some land from him to grow Italian ryegrass instead of him growing OSR as a break. Would be about 100ac which will help me enormously as I am always tight for grass. He would zero till the grass in behind spring barley at his cost. I...

As title. Need them moved fairly quickly.
