WW 4t/ac swathed 9.1lt/ac JD985i

We have grown otter for years. Yields range from 2t to 2.7t/acre on are light chalk soil. Biggest thing is trying to keep nitrogen levels low and screenings. That's where you lose money.

We only had a bit of a problem if the straw is thin. Making the swath slightly to wide for tractor wheel spacing. The wheels push the edges of the swath down. Over come it by driving slower with the baler.

We use Martin lishman 75lt tank with 3m boom and lance on are kubota nice simple easy to get parts.

We have been spreading 36m with an amazone for 8 years now. MOP and TSP fine. Straight N fine. N and sulphur need to buy good stuff and be a bit more picky with windy days.

You sure you want 100l/ acre ?

Mines under the tin plate on the back under the main suction filter there is a bit of tine coving it. Or just turn ignition on put it in revers (with engine not running) and find it that way. Which I had to do.

Proline 5lt £222.50 Folicur 5lt £80

I have an 07 pathfinder had it for two years now. Use for shooting so off road is not to bad I haven't been stuck yet. Ground clearance is not as good as a land rover but it is how you drive things most of the time anyway. For fuel around village and town we get 27 to 29 mpg and when long...
