After abit of advice, We are embarking on the renovation of the farmhouse which forms part of the AHA tenancy. We have already had the discussions with our landlord over who is responsible (who pays!) for what. What I know need to find out is what, if any, VAT is reclaimable, since the house...

We're just starting on a farmhouse renovation, Thinking through the kitchen, are boiling water taps worth the expense? (They seem to have come down in cost quite alot since my sister looked in to them a few years ago and decided not worth the expense) Also we're in quite a hard water area...

So we've been moving towards a outdoor lambing system for our april lambing flock, This year just the triplets, few rogue suffolks from the early flock and 2T twins have been housed (out in the day). Last year in the main twin group, we got up to about 5% rejections of one twin. With the ewes...

I've acquired this beaut of a log splitter, on the wedge there appears to be the means to bolt on some wings to make it a 4way split, but I don't know who manufactured the splitter so I can set about seeing if the extra wings are available. Any one recognise the Brand? Cheers in advance

I've tried "plastic race markers", "route markers", "Plastic race flags" etc etc but I can't find what these markers made of plastic structured like cardboard are called! They are common enough.... but where can I get them?

Every lambing time, the old man and me have the same robust disagreement over the magic potion he inists on giving ill sheep who have the runs. The sheep are of course treated with meds depending on what I think is the matter with them too. Anyhoo.... the rep for the magic potion has long since...

Have just started reading a book on mineral supplement for livestock by a kiwi chap called Trotter Brown. Oldish book and the chap is deceased, so far fairly interesting. @Global ovine @Kiwi Pete can either of you shed any opinion on the book or the author? Seems a character!

New to growing roots for lambs, but we had a chance to put a crop in a docky field that needs attention. Crop is a stubble turnip, forage rape & kale mix. Lambs have took to it after a slow start, they eat the leaf and stem no worries.....Although the waste seems horrific...... but they won't...

I've got a fair bit of decorating to do in my place and the farm house.......... I hate painting........I really ruddy hate it! Are paint sprayer guns any good? Obviously got a compressor here, but would airless machines be better? A quick glance at screwfix...

As per title I've got a suckler calf who's mum went as a reactor yesterday, its exactly 3 months old. Its eating cake strongly (it learnt while in isolation with mum for 10days) It's got another tame calf (on bottle) as a buddy. Is it worth (or really necessary?) getting it on to milk? Or...

I'd like to fit a manual 3 way 6 port diverter on one of the tractors so that I can keep both the hitch and the hydraulic top link plugged in to one spool, leaving the other free for what ever implement is on. Found the diverter I want on ebay, but there's the option of open or closed centers...

Who's going along tomorrow? I'll be there...... lowering the tone with my exmoorness :eek::LOL:

I've gone and blown up sheep handler compressor......It may have been abit under spec'd :rolleyes: New one has to be a 10 bar jobby, which limits the choice abit. Narrowed it down to a couple models One is a direct drive V-twin The other is a belt drive twin cylinder. Is there much...

Need to change a pan rod bush on the Landy, using a polybush would be the easy answer but a bit of research suggests polybush isn't great for the panrod. The OEM bush is one piece, metal inner and metal outer, rubber in between, apparently needs a 10t press to fit it (&ideally remove the old...

Just setting up a mains fencer, before I go off digging in a metal post out side the building and wiring back to the energizer, Would a RSJ set in concrete right next to the energizer work as a earth? I don't know if the RSJ is set in the soil then concrete just on top or fully encased in...

I do declare the mig-ark combo in my workshop thall shall not see the light of day again....... because I have a new friend :playful: It's fully mobile (y) Compact (y) Needs no power (y) And only the most skillful pro can master it :whistle: Fixed the digger with it today :cool: Liquid...

One of the tracks has popped off our 8 tonner (teukuchi tb180fr) It's got a hydraulic tensioner, which is about 2" extended out. So can't get the track back on til the tensioner returns! Should be easy, but I've undone the release valve...... nothing So took the big nut off that the release...

How do I get Google Chrome to remember my bcms log in details on my tablet? It remembers it on my phone (also chrome) I've cleared my history and it still won't ask me if I want it to remember log in details, But I've tried it on TFF and it asked me straight away if I wanted details...
