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?

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

I'm shopping around for a secondhand muck spreader and have seen a couple of these machines with horizontal beaters then a hood behind and spinning discs/vanes below they seem to be used for chicken manure but can you use them successfully with FYM ??

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...

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...

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...

Ok, who are the dregs left for DEFRA sec.? I was hoping for Therese Coffey but looks like she might get dept of health. Surely we won't be left with Useless again!!!

Morning all, Thinking about a new old tractor, since our second machine, a 5150, decided to blow it's transmission apart! The number one priority is comfort for its elderly occupant! Other than that £25k less than 20 years old and less than 8000 hrs. Anyone know any comfortable tractors?? Not...

A quote from farm minister Victoria Prentis saying " 10% of BPS claimants receive 50% of the money" ok not great but we all know how BPS works on a acreage basis. She then went on to say that "33% of claimants receive less than £5000" I couldn't believe it, why go through all that ball ache and...

I'm a mixed farmer based in Devon and thought I could add another string to my bow by doing a BASIS course however there are almost none available the database of training providers on the BASIS website is woefully out of date, no wonder theres a shortage of agronomists if most of them are...

I know we're all very very tired of this issue but after another sleepless night from reading about Rt's expansion in to health and safety, I really feel that it should be possible to be a farmer and not be harassed by this organisation who seem to operate like the Mafia Ie. If you don't pay...

I'm building a fertilizer rig for my 3m Claydon SR drill, I'm using an aluminium tube (od 12.7mm id 3.2mm) to drop the fert behind the seed Coulter, my question is this; unlike a spray nozzle covering a set width I'm placing the fert In a single line behind each coulter so how do I calculate the...

So, I don't currently use liquid fert but am thinking of setting up an applicator on my drill to apply NP liquid fert to the seedbed.. I appreciate liquid fert through a flat fan nozzle would scorch leaves but in a drilling situation where you're spraying it directly on to the soil would it be...
