I am looking for some advice. I am going to order couplings and 5" layflat pipe to move slurry out some slats into my slurry store. The distance is only 30 metres and using a redrock superflow pump. What i am wondering is what works best to empty the pipe once done? Ive seen setups with a T at...

Maybe a long shot but..... Ford ranger 2017 auto 25% of time it doesnt go into gear when put in drive then "check parking pilot", followed by "see manuel" and then a bit extra revs it goes without the parking sensers working and returns to normal and warnings go away. I thought at first the...

We are just planning out a new cattle handling system to go in a new build. Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on bateman system or any other suggestions? Trying to make it fit what space we have with access onto slats and 2 bedded courts and include loading area and calving cube. Also...

I have a case puma 160 thats autosteer ready, has the wires on the roof, steering solenoids and sceen in cab. I am wondering is there any cheap ways to make it actually work? My understanding is i need the dome on the roof and control box that goes in behind my passenger seat? It doesnt need to...

As above XL £134 and Hi aktiv £188. For total destruction of old permanent pasture with a few rushes but little other weeds so i think 6 litre per hectare with XL and just 4.4 litre per hectare with hi aktiv. Any other difference? Any rain faster? There just the best prices i can find for 20l cans.

After using tata steel lime for a good few years and now cant get it we are looking for an alternative. Came across this lime from kearton farms at kilmond wood quarry, county durham and i think i can sort transport out as a back load. Just wondering if its any good? I have a basic spec of it...

Hi just wondering about this myostatin E226X-1. Does it make a big difference in calving ease? I have had a few shorthorns over the years but none have ever been tested for it. Would keeping heifers from a myostatin bull be a no no? Even if going back to a bull free of it?

I have a puma 160 with 2700 hours. Its been squeeking when charging of air so changed belts and it never helped, tried tighting but still the same. Swapped pully of my maxxum and no change. There is a flutter on the belt when its charging unlike the maxxum. Soon as it blows off it runs true...

I've had a veiw autumn calvers with mastitis/ udder clap since weaning a few weeks ago. Today i had a cow i gave a second chance to hold to bull that i never normally do. Weaned in april and bad bag on two teats today. Will probably just kill her as trying calving her in the spring with 2 teats...

Anyone ever done such a thing? Maybe seems strange using a hill tup on a lowland, fairly intensive flock but think they could criss cross back and forward with texel tups pretty well.

I have a case puma 160 cvx which makes a noise similar to moving a spool switch with no hose conected to it. It makes this noise as soon as it starts moving foward or back. Ive tried cancelling all spools and hydraulics but doesnt stop it. The only way it stoped for a short time is when i move...

Cow calved in march and now has sore teats and kicking calf of. I have her inside and have to put in pen so calf gets on. Treating with this udder cream couple times a day, spraying with terramycingave betamox and meticam. Any suggestions?

Could anyone tell me how much available npk units i have? spreading this slurry with dribble bar at 2000 gallon per acre? Is it much good? Seems pretty low in nitrogen especially? Out suckled calf slats shed.

I currently work with shearwell stock moves express and could do all my births, movements and medical treatments. Births and movements went from my phone directly to bcms. Then was easy looking up sex, age, parents on my phone. Unfortunately this app wont link to scotmoves. Do any others do...

Needing a new purchase unfortunately. Think a 1.9 metre 3 ram albutt is my favourite. Although it has hardox tines and I'm unsure how easy they will push into the clamp? Second option an £900 cheaper is a quicke 2 metre 3 ram with kv straight tines. Athough i dont think its as strong built but...
