    BNG ongoing costs

    Anyone that's started down the road of using some land for BNG unit creation? The initial selling price of the units looks attractive but I'm trying to get some idea on what the ongoing costs and management restrictions are? Putting in a mixture of Other Neutral Grassland and Lowland Meadow...

    Cows throwing silage over themselves

    I’ve got 2 persistent offenders of cows that like to take mouthfuls of silage and throw it over themselves and into the scrape passage, blocking up the slats and stopping the auto scrapers in the process Ruled out flies as they do it no matter what time of year Any solutions other than sending...

    Emptying a stuck feed silo

    Went with the volume washer idea in the end, took the inspection hatch off at the bottom, blasted away for a bit then stood back when a lump or two dropped down. When it all went I wouldn’t have wanted to be under it, it came down fast. A lot of shovelling and some small bits left to clean off...

    Emptying a stuck feed silo

    I’ve got a 20T fibreglass feed silo which currently has about 5T of mouldy parlour cake stuck in a ring round the outside from the cone upwards. I don’t much fancy putting my head in there and chopping away with a shovel so are there any other ways to get it emptied, tapping on the outside...

    Zetor 6945 starting issue

    We have a Zetor 6945 my girlfriend uses for feeding some cattle and doing some topping. It’s always been a good starter until recently. To start it now you have to short the terminals on the starter, been told it’s probably the starter solenoid but wondered if anyone could confirm or knew what...

    New Holland BB960

    In the market for a 120x90 baler on a lower budget to bale c.1000-1200 bales of hay/haylage/straw a year. Obvious answer would be to buy a Massey/Hesston or get a contractor but I’ve seen a 5 string New Holland 960 which looks in decent condition for reasonable money. Anyone running/run one...

    Case Vestrum cvx

    Had a 110 delivered last week, I personally find the gearbox bad to use in comparison to other varios I’ve driven. There seems to be very little throttle response to start with then it takes off, but slows down very quickly when you let off. Also find the cab very noisy on the road. The cab is...
