Looking to possibly hire a power harrow and a front press to cultivate spring ploughing. Both 3m to go on a JD 6130R, sandy loam soil, no stones. I’d expect it to be a week but probably less What price would this be for hire?

Not sure if this is agri matters but not sure where else to put it Wondering if anyone has dealings with this company. I do some subcontract winter maintenance (gritting and snow clearing) for them. Last winter our “manager” wanted us to use an app to sign in and out of jobs, which includes...

Renewing a grazing lease and the landlord has had some of the wording changes, which I’m not very happy about. Am I correct in thinking that the 2nd sentence is implying that I’m responsible for the upkeep of fencing I’ve been waiting since November 2021 (storm Arwen) to get march fencing...

Looking for some advice about welders I’m completely new to welding, never done it at all. Idea is that I can fix breakages without having to go to the local fabricator and maybe make a few simple things too Thinking of buying a fairly basic but decent welder for farm use, one that has is easy...

As above, how are contracting folk charging for travelling to work? Thinking about trying to make it as fair as possible to both sides Charging your hourly rate for one way Flat rate per mile Banded as a radius from your base (less than 10 miles, 10-20 miles etc) Charging for the fuel used...

That’s the 2023 season started, so much for giving up contract shearing 🤷🏼‍♂️ Some big girls in this wee hobby flock of pedigree Suffolks

It’s looking like I’m not going to have any carry over of fodder from the 2022 crop, usually use this as a buffer feed in early autumn. Im thinking about putting in a new ley early season with the usual prg/wc mix plus Italian and westerwolds to increase yield. I've never used irg or ww, I’m a...

I’m having an issue with my Agrident AWR300. I can get it to connect to my weigh head through Bluetooth but it won’t connect to my phone, even though it comes up on the menu of both when I search for devices. Any ideas? TIA

Looking at the way we feed cattle, and seeing if there’s ways to make it easier or cheaper (ideally both) Currently feed locally sourced barley, distillers dark grains and Davidsons 5star blend. Barley is brought home, augered into the loft, then into a bin above the bruiser, bruised then...

Made an early start to the 2022 shearing season. Hitting the big numbers with 5 VBL and one Suffolk 💪🏻💪🏻

Lights in the cattle sheds are starting to give a bit of bother. They have a mixture of hanging pendant 100w bulbs, halogen and metal halide lamps, the later being 150w. My ideal scenario would be to replace a few at a time with LED lamps. Looking for recommendations as to size and brand of...

Has anyone had dealings with this company?

What’s the widest tyre option for a 38x15 rear wheel? Currently running 460/85R38 and 420/85R24 on the front.

I’m planning to sell a bunch of store lambs in 4 days time, but when is the best time to wean? I was through one mob today and left the sale lambs with their mothers, rest of the lambs trailered away. It would make life much easier if the lambs were lotted and running on their own but don’t...

Struggling for grass this spring and cows will be in for another 2-3 weeks unless there is a serious shift in growth. Ideally the bulls would be put out to work around the 25th of this month which is usually after turnout. Is there any issues with putting bulls to work inside at this time of...

I’ve taken on a bit of ground this autumn for sheep grazing only. The ground is in reasonable condition but hasn’t been grazed since last summer (2019). There is a nice flush of green grass and white clovers coming through a lot of rank and dead standing stuff. It’s stocked at roughly 2...

34 limmy yearling tomorrow

Recently had to change your main tractor to a 6130R. It has the basic radio that does work through the screen but doesn’t have Bluetooth. What radio head unit would folk recommend to put in that we oils ideally integrate with the screen to pull up contacts etc

Just gathering up my mobile yard (Scotpen) that’s been modified with a genuine prattley winch. The winch is wanting to unwind it’s self which isn’t ideal! Any ideas how to sort it out?
