    Beet 2024

    I remember when the advice was as soon as possible after March 1st; when conditions allow. Who knows thesedays with these weather patterns and virus when is best 🤷‍♂️

    New toy day

    This turned up today; didn’t fancy cutting a load of sfi with a verge mower. She (seems to be) an animal!

    Beet 2024

    Is this about normal time for you light land boys to start drilling? Seems a bit later than normal(?) I sprayed mine off on Friday but can’t imagine it will be dry enough to drill for another 3 weeks at least. 20th April seems to be becoming our norm around here…no seed anyway!

    Many people not rolling cereals this year?

    Check out the first 4 words of my post. The manganese is an interesting point tho…we do have deficient land but again; you’re not ‘not’ going to put manganese on irrespective of rolling are you?? 🤷‍♂️

    Many people not rolling cereals this year?

    Unless you have stones; I really can’t see the point of rolling 🤷‍♂️ it’s still going to tiller without rolling; you’re still going to put pgr on even if you roll and apart from making pretty stripes….it strikes me as being fairly recreational

    Power harrow combination.

    That will be much bigger than the t7 270. In newhollandish 270hp probably means 165hp unless the pto is on, heater is on setting 3 and the prevailing wind is SSW.

    New Ranger vs New Amarok

    Same here; just an abs ring so far in 86000 miles. I love it. Really don’t know what I’ll replace it with…I guess the last of the old V6 Roks are priced sky high now if these new ones are a bit ‘diluted’ 🤷‍♂️

    Spray compatibility “bucket test”

    Depends on the manganese. I have an ibc of ‘donkey pee’ that will mix with anything (nearly) and some yara stuff that is more concentrated but you’ve got to be careful. But as @Flatlander said; physical compatibility should only be one of your worries if you’re trying something out of the ordinary.

    The RPA grant funding stupid questions time

    This. If I ring up to make a voluntary overpayment to the mortgage they want to know where the money is coming from. I usually just say ‘farm profits’ and they just tap it in and we move on

    Level 3 agricultural courses

    Sounds like she has the ability-I would push her to do A-levels; even if it’s at a different school. Be a lot easier route to a degree. Not sure if the a-level bit is attached to her school(?) mine was and most of the bad apples left after yr11

    😂 that is a really good point. Buy the supplementary feeding mix; spread it on, aims met 👌

    Fendt 724, heavy rear mounted implement.

    For sure but the sheer length of a plough once you get a bounce on could easily magnify its weight and add significant ‘extra’ momentary weight and it’s at this point something is going to break. Not to mention the fact that if the front is lifting you’ve basically got all of your train weight...

    Fendt 724, heavy rear mounted implement.

    I know you’re joking but I completely agree. Any more than 5 furrows shouldn’t be fully mounted imo. All that weight up front just illustrates how much strain is going through that top link pin. I know 2 neighbours who have ended up ploughing the tarmac…

    Fendts in Cambridge sale

    I’d much rather buy the smallest than the biggest from a reliability perspective

    Fendts in Cambridge sale

    You have to be mindful of the additional commission to bid online; I had a little shock last week with ibidder (at a different sale). Cheaper to leave a commission bid with the auctioneer.
