    Row spacing in Beans

    I certainly wasn't talking about a reduced application rate. And i don't think Roy was either. The bean as it emerges before it opens the leaves can withstand a full rate it seems. We used 1.4kg of powermax (720g of active). That's 1000g of gly.

    Row spacing in Beans

    We have been caught out before by some very fast bean emergence in a mild autumn peeping up before we got round up on. Decided to use gly on some and graminicide on the rest fearing the gly would kill the emerging beans. Our oats cover crop was very mediocre the same year. But still did a job...

    Row spacing in Beans

    This is fantastic info, really appreciate you taking the time @Fish . Why spring over winter beans these days out of interest? I really like the sound of the low disease pressure. Couldn't ever see us not spraying in our climate, but ill keep an open mind! We tend to have overly thick bean...

    Row spacing in Beans

    Hello Fish, Sorry for reviving an old thread here! Im very interested in hearing more about your winter bean drilling operation. Are you still sowing at 24 ince spacing? what machine were/are you using? We are looking at options for putting them in early and deep here, so we dont get caught out...

    Reduced N in no till

    Are there many farmers including a carbon source with their applied nitrogen? I've heard many speakers say this is essential to prevent the N "burning up" soil carbon. Liquid fertiliser much easier than solid to get carbon into. I'm interested to try it this year but can find very little...

    New holland error code

    So I finally got to the bottom of my wiring loom problem. The conduit around the loom is corrugated and over time it ate into the wires just back 8 inches from the ECU on top of the engine, back from the larger upper plug, just where it turns 90 degrees. I think those turns in the loom are far...

    Cover crops over in the west

    Encouraging to hear slugs is a diminishing issue. Can you put it down to anything in particular? Do you have a low disturbance system or more convention tillage?

    Are their any other zero till drills (with a similar tine as used on the Amazone Condor drill) available in the uk?

    http://www.no-till.uk/manufacturers/dale.html#ECOSTechSpecs Found some weight information here. Incredibly light drill. Would maybe work well in wetter conditions

    New holland error code

    That was also a problem with mine only with the have throttle. I changed the engine loom and that fixed it. But not the chugging and losing power and error code. Incidentally the error is "auxillary controller missing". Does that narrow the problem down to the arm rest or under the fuse box?

    New Holland TSA front suspension

    Any luck with the 14902 error in the end @Gruffalo ? Trouble here too causing the tractor to lose power.

    New holland error code

    Engine loom fixed my oil light and hand throttle issues. Didn't fix my 14902 error and the chugging. Arm rest next maybe?

    Mine is a ts135a. Not sure if it's the same part number for your loom

    New holland error code

    Got stuck into this on Saturday. Eventually found an issue with the lower plugs that go into the back of the ECU on top of the engine. A wire must be cracked where it turns at 90 degrees. New engine loom is part number 87803077. Looks like it's not too awkward to fit. Could be worth a shot...

    New holland error code

    That's a nightmare. I'm wondering what a new loom costs now...! I took both transmission control unit and ECU to my neighbours 135 yesterday and got no errors. Going to try all the plugs and earth points today. I can't drive mine because it loses power for an instant and then back again. Does...
