Went to a dealer nr Oxford recently about a different matter. Noticed his Kress robotic mowers. He said that they don’t need a buried wire and some can cope with long grass. Kress are the German Husqvarna I gather. I’m Has anyone had any experience of the non-buries cable type of robotic mowers?

I have borrowed a 8 m Weaving stubble rake. I have tried it on heavy land where it did a fairly good job in moving straw and ripped stubbles out of the ground in lighter parts. Has anyone had experience of stubble rakes on light land and managed to set it so that it doesn’t rip the stubble out?

Got a few corrugated steel bins (20ft high 60t capacity, I think). Wanting to move them out of a dutch barn a short distance perhaps for glamping. Do you think it is possible to move them without dismantling - say hoisting them up with a long telehandler arm??

For the last 6-7yrs been growing Crusoe WW usually for low grade milling (N about 170kgha). Usually get about 3.5t/ac. Best has been 5t/ac, this year only 2t/ac. Our light land is 3-3.5t/ac tops. So I get about £12/t premium on LG milling. Would I be better off growing a feed variety? How much...

I know Hot tubs are supposed to increase bookings and asking price but are they worth it? I gather they need testing for legionnaries,etc twice daily to comply with HSG282. Then there is the weekly empty and cleanse...maybe there is more work with them? I'd be interested to know how people...

I have my suspicions that the Sluxx pellets I have been applying to some fields are being consumed by birds. 2 fields both spring barley. 1 field was wild bird mix last year so has alot of oil radish seedlings thus attracting pigeons. The other is next a woods/pond and ducks are the issue there...

Acquired a 6m 6yr old 750a from the continent. Looks in good nick in terms of rust and paintwork, so been looked after. All discs are 38-41cm so have a set of replacements ready for this week. Most of the rubber depth wheels wiggle like bearings need replacing. I gather that washers can be...
