    Sewage treatment installation trespass.

    What about the outlet from this plant - where does that drain to? If it drains into your ditch you could block that ditch just downstream from the outlet and this will result in the treatment plant failing. You won't have actually interacted with the plant at all so there could be no claim for...

    Bateman Hilo Fert Spreader Mount

    Hi all. Looking to see if anyone has a fert spreader mount for a HiLo (differs from the RB series I think) with the steps and frame around it. I have the bare skid unit and before I get to bodging up a frame (who am I kidding, before I get someone with some skill to make it up) I thought I would...

    Classics Earning their keep.

    The FDI Sambrin and 7740 are two machines that punch massivly above their weight and have served us so well over the time we have owned then, which for the loader is 1988 and the 7740 1996. Still the 4000 (1976) and Dexta (19??) are the longest serving units on the farm

    And the big yellow beast of a drill - I think it still counts as classic in the modern variation of the them and being over 20 years old

    Today at work

    @Tucker - we have a Sealey 1.2t changer and would not be without it. It is safe, quick to use, ideal with hydrostatic motors where you need to turn the wheel not the hub to line things up. We use it for large (710/65/R38) duals, combine wheels (800/95/R32) and the sprayer wheels and it is great...

    Clean water tank should be under the main tank, but have never used ours. Our inducation hopper has the push down can cleaner in it. We have a lance to draw in from the 30l cans that hurt my dodgy wrist Oh and never close the boom with the door open

    Small Wind turbines - farmscale

    Ok - thanks for the replies chaps, I think I know far too little about this and the cost is looking too high to "have a go". Will head off the do some proper research. My thinking had been that the wind nearly always blows but the sun does not always shine (i know solar still works when it is...

    Small Wind turbines - farmscale

    Hello all. Apologies for what is quite a noddy post, but I am looking at options for one or two what I call 'farm scale' windturbines - in the 5kw to 10kw range. Go back a few years and they seemed to be everywhere (suffolk and norfolk) - thanks in part to Windcrop putting them up. Now they seem...

    Prepare your Moisture Meter time.

    Quick question sort of on topic - when setting the temperature slider is it set for the temperature where the moisture meter is measuring, or is it set for the temperature from where the grain for sample has been taken. Obviously these two temperatures can be very very different. A schoolboy...

    Resurrecting this thread to spread the joy about Tim Smith. Smashed the drive cogs on my early 1990's Accord DF1 hopper last night. (think peads, drive wheel turning, fan not running - you get the picture) It is not a standard setup as has some reversers etc in it Called Tim at 8am and sent...

    Air Seat for NH 7740

    Afternoon all Can anyone recommend a good, but simple air seat for a NH 7740 ? There seem to be all sorts of options and prices from £480 to to £2480. The old seat is shot (after 9000 hours) and my back is shot (after a pumb crawl 'incident') so i need more comfort but have to realistic about...
