Nothing in the way of any spring cereals drilled in cornwall by the look of it, I reckon It’ll be may before I can, winter veg ground destined for drilling is like a swamp. There‘s going to be a serious shortage of summer and winter veg and potatoes too. some big spud growers down here that...

Ive demoed a dyna 7 and a vt, definitely go for a vt ,I’m biased as I’m on my 4th MF dyna vt. The 8s is a big lump which I was unsure of, but now having tried it I’d jump at one, actually missed out on a very good deal on an 8s 265 by 1hr so bought the 7726 traded In. Probably go for a 285/305...

I’d agree with you Joseph, I’m very good friends with my main dealer salesman, he’s the go to if I have an issue, I’ve bought a lot of tractors from him and he knows if I’m not happy and sorts it out, yes he’s scared to lose sales and keeps me on side but I’d rather that than have to chase...

Evening all. I’ve got a new fert Spreader on the way, is it worth waxoilng it before I use it? We wash them off after we’ve used it but you can never get them spotlessly clean I find. Would the fert stick to the wax oil? Or should I spray it 50/50 with diesel and hydraulic oil on a regular basis...

Maybe, I’ve thought about running the trio on the ploughing rather than rip/Ph but not sure I’d get the tilth required, our system works well and I’ve good wheel eradicators on ph. In our opinion the rolled ploughing needs ripping to get some air in the soil, and it only then needs 1 pass with...

Evening all. anyone know what these are like? And are there any other companies that make similar? my thought is that I’m looking to do 2 jobs in 1( Rip and powerharrowing) cauli and spring greens ground, july/august. it would be on paddlerolled ploughing and light land. 260hp and I’ve a...

This makes my blood boil. We grow winter cauli and get about 50p/head from the supermarkets,which is just enough to tempt to grow the following year. The packhouse we supply have had to buy lorry loads of French to fulfill orders due to all of the Cornish cauli running late because of the wet...

Depends on your budget but we’ve just bought a 150lt Jefferson, seems a good buy at £508+ vat. It came with 3 outlets and is surprisingly quiet,I’m told that it’s better than the Clarke compressor.

The instructor gave the example. 44 ton lorry of grain gross weight Tips and tares at 14 tons =30 tons net . Which I get, my argument as it’s a course about telehandlers and capacity of the machine etc. I grade spuds. 25kg bags x 40 = 1000kg of spuds, add the pallet(say 50kg) 26 pallets on a...

Had my telehandler refresher course the other day and passed, got question 2 wrong though as I said A Did I over think the question? What would others answer with?

We were all told that being part of red tractor would increase the price we receive for our products, and open up increased sales…..rubbish, we send winter veg with red tractor to the multiples and also to the wholesale markets who have never asked once for my assured produce certificate, guess...

Nephews on his 2nd harvest with paplows of Minnesota. He regularly sends photos back home, I must say it’s something I wish I did in my younger days, I have another nephew thats keen to go next year.

New 6s.180 delivered last week. Pokey little bus but the seat must’ve been put in by an Oompa Loompa as I’m right up on the steering wheel, I’ll get it moved back a hole or two I think. New armrest like the 8s is nice and would make my 7726s one hell of a tractor if I could put one in it.

Lost I’m afraid, had it a few times on a 7719s. It’s a right pain in the backside if you’ve 10 different machines saved, fingers crossed it’s sorted now as we’ve had 2 new screens

Help! My 2016 Dmax had battery light, gearbox light and radio switches it self on and off. I charged it as it was lazy to start. Last night going home from work it also went into limp mode and the gearbox struggled to get me up the lane, Then the window was slow to close, could it be the...

Luke grimes . No horse to ride Dr Hook. Sylvia’s mother The Georgia satellites. Keep your hands to yourself If I’m feeling emotional then, cornwall my home or bring him home from Les mis.

August 14th last year I’d finished harvest ( admittedly early for us) August 14th 2023 still have winter barley to cut before I think about spring crops and the combine hasn’t moved for a week, I don’t think I’ve used it for more than 2 consecutive days!

Hi All. Looking to change our 1800lt 24m vicon ixter. What others are available? I’ll be looking at integrated front tank aswell to give me capacity around the 3000lt mark. I’m familiar with the vicon as we’ve had 2 but don’t mind trying something else. 4cyl 160hp tractor on rowcrops but will...
