    Seedflex drill system

    I take them off mine occasionally but I don't really rate the rotec plus in heavy soils. The furrow former just smears a wide stinking groove for the seed to sit and rot in . For 125cm spacing it will go in some silly wet conditions but I've learned it doesn't mean I should. My last drill...

    Red Diesel issues anyone else?

    I found this residue on the sides of my plastic tank , one spring , years ago . Called supplier and he said he thought it could be the bio content separating in a cold snap we had , the month earlier when tank was fuller. He said to put some on a bit of plastic and place it on a window sill...

    What % of winter crops not planted or destroyed

    I think the plough is like hitting the reset button every year and does get results but at expense of erosion. I'm in my late 40s now , ploughed fields here all my life and I can see the rock heads getting shallower and bigger with more of them these days . My best spring crop yields are from...

    The noose is tightening- what next?

    I think we're all getting slowly pushed to the exit . We are just cash cows for the likes of NFU , yara , chem suppliers and all the assurance hoops we have to jump through . 10-15years ago I was keen as anything to grow and was constantly looking at local land sales , now I couldn't care...

    Power harrow combination.

    Always liked the floating power harrow set up of box drill and super on amazone's . Also prefer less rotors as the lemken would drag stones the amazone swallowed no bother but I've never been a fan of the single disc , especially on the rotec+ . It just smears when it gets wet compared to the...

    Malting barley shortage

    I'm still supposed to be getting the last 2 loads of a 2023 contract away at some point . They have told me it's not really needed as locally stores are all full up , so I'm not pushing as would rather they call wanting it than I demand it's lifted to get a rejection. Unfortunately also have...

    Has it had the dealer to it recently and maybe had an engine software update ? , my 7720s has gone from 3 tanks of red to 1 tank adblue , to matching each other tank for tank since an update . No codes , no running problems and they can't put old software back on

    Glyphosate ban on European milling oats

    You mean it won't be like the UK and OSR with neonics. Banned to use here but still used abroad and imported here no problem ........

    A question for Ollybloggs Oliver Harrison

    I don't actually mind assurance as long as imports are grown to same standards . It annoys me that neonics for example are produced in the UK, banned to use in the UK but supplied abroad to be used and then we take those very crops back in. It's for that very reason I think we should be...

    Protest cancelled due to lack of interest

    I think we'd have to keep public disruption to a minimum and not target super markets tbh . My take on it would be to go French style at every NFU branch , crop assurance offices and fire the shite through their windows .

    Fendt 724, heavy rear mounted implement.

    I think with more weight on front , your going to need rear wheel weights too or the front will end up trying to do all the work with plough down

    Straw for Muck

    We used to swap with a chap . He would bale and take 110 4x4 rounds by a belt baler and we'd cart dung back . It was normally around 14.5 loads back using 12 , 14 and 15 ton grain trailers , fairly level filled as was hauled back through a town . Never really saw point weighting it as some...
