    FTTP hardware and setup advice needed please.

    Anyone used Impexron Ltd?

    Has anyone on here used a company called Impexron Ltd to source spares? The website is suggesting they can source a part that I can't find at a sensible price in the UK but they're based in Bulgaria....

    Tucano 420 vs NH CX 5.80 (5080)

    Posting this for a friend; does anyone have any suggestions as to which combine is better value for money, likely to suffer the least depreciation, cost the least to repair etc? My understanding is both are coming out at very similar prices with similar spec and so looking for something to split...

    Moving on from a 14 foot cut combine

    We're currently running a 14 foot MF Activa 7240 and have had it for 8 seasons. It's a reasonable machine and puts a very nice sample in the shed but we're hoping to increase the arable area to around 500 acres (osr, ww, smaller areas of sb, wo and possibly some beans) next year and to be honest...

    Sourcing beef replacement heifers

    I'm currently based in the Midlands and spent a large part of 2017 "enjoying" our first experience of a Tb breakdown. We lost 25 breeding females in total but more significantly were shut down between our first failed test and first short interval test when we should have been buying...

    MF 5445 spool valve levers

    My 5445 has 2 spool valve levers in the cab but something funny is going on. One lever works both the spool valve and the retracting hitch and has 3 positions. The other lever has 4 positions (the 4th being dump/open return or whatever it's called). My problem is that the neutral position on...

    Farmhouse garden design ideas

    I've (She's) decided that it's time we had a tidy up (again) and this time we (she) wants to try and create something of interest around the farmhouse. We've got lovely views but the house sits quite close to the farm drive and several paths etc so we're not in a position to put in lots of...

Ideally I want something which is on the approved products list for TB and can also be used at lambing and calving time in the pens too.

    Spring born suckler calf sale options

    I run a suckler herd and finish all of the calves on farm. Six months ago I had a finished bull turn on me during loading and although I was unharmed it's properly spooked me. Having looked harder at the calves born this year I can see that one bull is throwing calves which are more edgy than...

    Kverneland TS Evo Tine Drill tips please

    I've got a 4m TS Evo and am pretty pleased with it so far. I'm after a bit of advice though as I'm struggling to leave a level finish; the rear tines leave a depression even after the following harrow and press wheels. Forward speed is stated in the book as 8-15k or similar; I'm running at...
