Any suggestions on how to remove letters and numbers on a machine like my wheeled digger? If it was a McConnell they’d fall off if you sneeze near them, but when you want to take them off these stick like 💩 to a blanket!

Looking for a Ransomes type potato lifter, preferably 2 row. Only a small area to do but a lot of work with a fork if I can’t find something!

Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost to buy an abstraction licence from a farm in the same catchment area? Better still, is it possible to do an annual lease? I guess they are valued per 1000 cubic metres. I need to find some way of irrigating our 20 acres of veg to avoid a year like last...

I know that there are a number of variables - location, lime quality, quantity delivered etc. but interested to hear what people are being quoted for lime to be delivered and spread. Yesterday was quoted £34.19/T delivered in Feb, £36.63/T March. 2 16T loads.

Or am I just being cynical? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-64381704

We’ve got an opportunity to develop a farm shop, combining it with an existing cafe which has been running for the last year about a mile from the farm.. We already produce our own organic beef, lamb and veg and my wife recently started supplying the cafe with cakes, pasties etc. My thoughts are...

I’ve put this in Wanted but thought it might be worth a try in Classic Machinery too. I’ve recently bought a GT275 tool carrier for use in our veg enterprise. It’s going to be a bit of a long term project due to limited time, but runs and is useable. What I want to do is get the front linkage...

I’m looking for the front linkage for a 275gt if anyone can help? Just the arms will be enough, though top link fittings would be handy too.

Nice to see the Advertising Standards Agency being open minded https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61731187

Hopefully this will copy across from this morning’s Sunday Times: I do tend to go through life with a general sense that everything will be all right in the end. Yes, we are told every 20 minutes that soon the Earth will be a superheated ruin that’s no longer capable of supporting even...

When a government minister says something like this I can’t help thinking it’s a bit like a prime minister saying he has full confidence in someone a couple of days before sacking him! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60691116

Picked up on a review of this “documentary” film yesterday on 5 live and think it might be good for TFFers to be aware of it. It’s been nominated for Cannes apparently so could get quite a bit of press. Filmed on a large dairy farm somewhere in the south of England it follows a cow for around 4...

Thinking about the almost inevitable agriculture bashing that we’re likely to face next week, I’ve been wondering how many industries have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide. I can only think of agriculture and forestry, have I missed some?

Got a 15 year old lad coming to us for a weeks work experience who has mild autism. Something I know very little about. Any pointers or suggestions as to what considerations we need to have in mind? As far as I’m concerned everyone is treated equally but it would be good to know if we should be...

They just did an entire article on global warming on the 10 o’clock news, and all they talked about was burning fossil fuels! No mention of animals or methane, of trees or cutting meat consumption. Is the tide finally turning, or was it a momentary blip?

We all know it’s coming, and hopefully a bit dumbed down this year. So how are people planning on responding or countering the general b*ll*cks that goes with it? We supply an online farmers market with pies, pasties, cakes, lamb, beef etc. I rather hit the roof when I read that they were asking...

Has anyone had the deadline for completing capital works extended by 12 months to the end of next year? My wife has an agreement in her name for a block of off lying ground which started in 2018, so the capital works had to be completed by the end of this month. The RPA wrote in July stating...

Does anyone know if such a store has to be CE marked? The requirements of the scheme states that work must be to “relevant British standards“.

Have a Fiat Hitachi wheeled digger (updated version of the Ford 655) which has an immobiliser fitted. It’s a pain in the arse and of no real benefit here so I’d like to remove it. Does anyone know what’s involved?
