    GM-R trailed sprayer

    Thinking of changing an old GEM trailed sprayer. There is GM-R trailed sprayer at Agri-linc which might be suitable. Are GM-R sprayers OK? Spare parts? Reliability? Any other comments/advice. Limited budget, so not looking for all the most modern bells and whistles!

    4 houses going up right next to one of my arable fields. House builder has asked if he can have 2 x 4 inch diameter drainage pipes put under my field to an IDB drain on the far side, to take rain water from the 4 new houses. My field is already under-drained, but 2 more drains would be a small...

Existing system is pressurised (i.e. no cold water tank in loft). Any advice...size, make etc? My usual local plumber doesn't...

    REPLACING TM155

    Looking to replace/upgrade a 2003 TM155 with similar, but less hours and 50k. Would a T6.175 compare, though only 140hp, (boosts to 175 on PTO/transport.)? Other NH models? Budget £20,000 to change.

    TFF CLASSIFIEDS

    AAARGH....why on earth can't something be done to remove any ads that are old? I've just been doing a serious search and found ads posted in 2019,2020, and 2021. Seriously annoying amd time wasting.

    Used NH CR9080

    Looking at a 2013 machine, as above. It's on Smart tracks. Do tracks incur any major expenditure with age? We're all on stoneless silt, with one block of land 12 miles away which we sometimes have to go to twice.

    Lexion 570 starting problem

    We've got a niggly problem...the engine takes an age to start (typically 30 - 45 secs., and can grind battery down) UNLESS main engine filter is primed, and the slightest push on the fuel filter plunger (just a half inch on the plunger) is all it needs for the engine to start instantly. It's a...

    Imported grain higher standard than UK

    Received the following from a senior member within the grain trade today: "....a cargo of imported grain arriving in this country has more tests done on it, in a methodical and recorded way, than the equivalent domestic tonnes arriving by lorry from UK farmers to the same destination"...

    Combine wheelings and zero/min till

    How do zero or min till people treat combine wheel marks? This last week we have run a Culti-press straight into stubble and it leaves a lovely 2 -3 ins of tilth. Good soil structure underneath, so perfect for our Moore drill.....EXCEPT that the combine wheelings remain almost untouched and...

    Virus in Sugar Beet

    I'm wondering how much yellowing is now showing in others' beet fields, and if there is any correlation to the insecticide spray programme. Here all fields are showing patches of yellowing. A month ago just isolated plants, or small groups of plants. Seems to have progressed over past month, so...

    Need ideas....one of our grain stores has old spray-on insulation on roof and upper walls. This winter we've had a serious problem with rats living in the insulation, tunnelling through it, debris falling onto grain below etc.,etc. Almost impossible to eliminate/exterminate while grain in the...

    Weird problem....fitted 4 new LED working lights to replace originals, 2 front upper and 2 rear upper.

    What would you do?

    I asked my local tractor dealer to quote me for fitting the appropriate antenna and nav controller to my tractor (bought from them 4 months ago). This was in anticipation of all the drilling we shall be doing after dark, when we actually get going! I gave them the order after they quoted me...

Would then need extra or replacement vertical cladding. Could...

    NH 255 Tedder

    I'm having difficulty sourcing a few parts for this. Can get cam rollers from NH dealer (I've got a part number from a few years ago), but the NH parts system does not show this (old!) model, so can't even find a parts diagram. Was this tedder made by someone else, and painted/badged for NH...
