    DIY FEC

    Will someone correct me if I am wrong, but I'd got it in my head from somewhere that if you see even 1 nematodirus egg then you should treat. Something along the lines of nematodirus already causing problems by the time eggs are produced.

    Mid tier HS5 and GS2

    Half our fields are in hs5. I tried to put a few fields into gs5, (same as gs2, but in sda) but they took the ones in the hs5 area out. So in my experience, no you can't have them together.

    Massey Ferguson 399 18 speedshift drive issue

    The friction discs on ours were replaced, job sorted.....then had to be done again within far too short a period. Found the oil pressure was too low so the discs were wearing prematurely, had to get it tested and adjusted. Been fine (touch wood) since. Must of been 7/8 years ago. No idea why...
