Wow Wasn't expecting that! Means there's hope for farming..... ..... Or the greens reckon they'll get a bigger vote come the next election 😱

The weigher I have is the quicke loader "q companion" system For accuracy the calibration needs to be done well, and oil up to temperature. Weighing straw bales when loading, mine is within about 5% of what the weigh bridge reads

By the time potash deficiency has revealed itself with pale coloured plants and bugger all clover, you've lost money So why not spend £15 on a soil sample BEFORE you've lost money on a failing crop?

Perhaps buying your own soil sampling corer funnel might seem excessive to many, never mind fitting an board weighing system to the loader tractor? Did both here, and the initial outlay has paid for itself many times over. BIG savings can be made when a few bags of TSP and MOP are all that's...

Analyse the soil Analyse the forage Analyse the dung Weigh how much dung you're applying Weigh how much forage you're removing Only then can you actually know what fertiliser, and how much need be applied Or just keep guessing Bit like guessing when the bank will call in the overdraft

"Planting trees in grassland won't save the planet" https://theconversation.com/planting-trees-in-grasslands-wont-save-the-planet-rather-protect-and-restore-forests-227591 Can somebody tell the numpties in parliament?

This is their agricultural reform route map Awful graphic, but it's the only thing they've published on the government Web site Looks like lfass is gone after next year. That's going to REALLY bugger Scottish farming. Leave plenty ground vacant for trees?

This on your old ford? Cut the buggers off and weld on some hook ends Life is too short for fixed balls!

First thing I'd do is change the 10 year old antenna My (admittedly near 20yo) outback s-lite couldn't get a fix a couple of years ago. New antenna worked a treat, and the accuracy abs stability improvement had to be seen to be believed This is what I bought...

Heat the arm to make it expand, not the ball And use a blue flame until the arm is glowing red. You might as well pish in the snow if you're just covering things in soot off a yellow flicker Remember, nothing is siezed if it's liquid 🙄

Most tyres are rated by load and speed index Often wondered why Michelin rate them by hp, but suppose their multibib tyres aren't fit to carry an empty tractor and do 50kph, never mind carry an implement as well 🙄

And not Farm in Scotland We get bugger all

I think the rear tyres may be slightly too small Looking at adverts for 5470s, they seem to shod with 520/70r38 420/70r28, or similar? Checking bkt rolling circumference (RC) figures gives: 520/70r38 RC5300mm 420/70r28 RC4020mm 460/85r38 RC5161mm 380/85r38 RC4015mm Not much difference to...

Not a daft question, because different tyres DO have different rolling circumferences BKT are usually smaller than others. However the ratio of the differences should be the same as the original Michelin, so they shouldn't cause the wind up That said, did it bang out of 4wd before the bkt...

Sample the soil: Starve your soil and you starve your livestock Without sampling the soil, you'll never know if it's hungry. Clover rich swards dramatically reduce summer N applications, but you need to know what P&K reserves are available Would you decide not to fill up your car without...

Life would be a bloody boring pastime if you obeyed all the stupid pointless pedantry peddled by the pillocks in power

Blue V mirror guards are from Tom at agriguards. Horizontals above mirrors are aluminium angle that I put there as part of the bracing that stops the arms shaking. Stuck in some leds, coz I could Green marker bar is home made. It hides the mounting rail I made for the top Utv Products supplied...

It used to be said that the best way to set up a company was to have a bankruptcy, and a couple of good fires on the insurance 🙈
