    Re mapping

    I’ve never been a fan for tractors. Just have a tractor big enough, surely 🤷‍♂️ But, I bought a mower a couple of years after the tractor and it’s fine for second cut but at times with first cut I’m maxing at 8k. Not the end of the world but out of curiosity, when at the dealer I asked what they...

    Class cebis screen

    Just doing a monthly run of the combine reminded me… So, last summer towards the end of harvest, occasionally the cebis screen would go so dark I couldn’t see it. Then, funnily enough, I got a new neighbour with the same 430 who wanted help with a number of issues and his was doing the same. Is...

    Imploded wrapped bale

    I’ve been doing haylage a few years now, so seen some bales. I have one that is seriously imploded - centre must be a foot in. Wrap is sucked real tight on the bale. Why is this? Is there a point to use it? (One out of several hundred- it could just go in the muck heap)

    Winter barley in January?

    It’s now very wet here and another 8 days at least of rain forecast, barely is not drilled and no hope before bonfire night. I have dressed seed… so, if (I know unlikely) we had a beautiful January is there any reason why drilling winter barley then would fail/make an unviable crop?

    Air con - operators

    I’ve always been aware of the risks (to me) of powerful use of air con. I don’t have it that cold, don’t aim air at myself… but this year I am really struggling with it. Yesterday came home pretty poorly, had a terrible night and still feel pretty rough. I really need to carry on with the work🙄...

    Field bean - leaf and pod spot

    For myself, leaf and pod spot is the biggest problem of growing field beans - maybe made worse by slightly early sowings, pushed by some wet autumns. is anyone growing a variety with resistance/tolerance? Is it effective? Does it come with different issues (like no yield?🙄) Or does it reinvent...

    Good old time herbicide…

    So, for the first time in 4 years, last autumn was easy. Here we can use what you (and I ) call dicurane. I had fallen out with it a bit a couple of years before, so had some in stock. So I used what I had on the dirty portion of my wheat. Some 3 weeks later, that of course made where I hadn’t...

    6930 pto softening

    On my auto power premium 6930, the pto engagement is pretty brutal 😳 It seems it’s not a unique problem and I recall reading a solution is to dampen the hyd oil feed (even with just a pipe). Is the feed pipe obvious external please?
