    First time using liquid fert today (Hardi quintastream nozzles grey) and the rate is much lower than it should be. I left the top hat nozzle filters in place should I remove them?

    E mail off red tractor

    So, bare with me backward thinking here, if there were scenes of farmers demonstrating outside Tesco, Asda etc. With tractors and placards saying don't buy Red Tractor how many minutes would it take Tesco, Asda etc to dump RT and the scheme fold in on itself?😂

    Pick up insurance, young drivers

    So my 18yr old son is doing my head in about getting a pick up truck.. Fine; but we can't find insurance for love nor money! NFU wouldn't quote, the closest we got was the Direct Line who quoted £5000 for 12 months cover and then the lady on the phone had the audacity to ask "would you like to...

    Booze cruise to France!

    I've been looking at the agri affaires website (not a dating site!😂) And found some machinery in France that I quite like the look of. Thinking about popping over the channel with the pick up and trailer to look at it and bring it back all in one trip if it is any good. What do I need to look...

    Any Claydon users out there?

    Thanks, in the end I went over after drilling with the straw rake which gave a good result, but it is hardly a one pass system!! I feel the rear toolbar is a real letdown and a problem area for the Claydon drill. Anyone tried a twin tine kit???

    Any Claydon users out there?

    I'm struggling with my Claydon to get it to bury the seed and not block up at the same time! It runs fine and the soil flows through the leading tines and the seed Coulters. But the final row of ' boards' as I call them just don't fill in the troughs made by the Coulters and when you increase...

    HGV to drive a tractor

    Can't come soon enough, how many farmers and their children have been killed by defective equipment that is 30 odd years old but they can't afford to update or replace.! They should start with an MOT for anything self propelled, rather than licences. If you don't agree just think about which...

    Return of Area Payments

    If your worried about food security surely coupled payments are best for increasing production? Is this a 'look over there!' press release making coupled payments look a better option than 'unfair' uncoupled area payments?? Just being cynical!

    3-4k😭 it's being done as we speak but it's probably a sign she's got to go! 12000hrs on her, would be better off as a classic for someone who's got the time..
