    Lex 770 or CR9090/9.90

    I don't wish to start another "What................" thread, but what are peoples views on these 2 machines, which will be 3-6 yrs old. I have taken on a fair bit more land and need to upgrade my 30' CR9080 for the next size up. Trying to cut 2100 acres, for 9 customers, of which 1700 acres will...

    Wheat after grass

    Hi all. New to this. I would be very interested in people’s opinion on growing wheat after grass. I currently do a land swap with a local farmer who grows ready grass and horsage. The first 3 year let has just ended on the first block of land. It’s heavy clay which was rank with blackgrass...

    What are the benefits of no-till farming?

    Reading other peoples horror stories about harvest elsewhere on the forum, I'm minded to keep my head down as things don't seem too bad here. It's not been a record breaking harvest (and we've still got a fair bit of spring wheat to cut), but things haven't gone too badly and it's been a cheap...

    Air bleeds on John Deere 750a

    When our 750a was new we fitted air bleeds to the drill to try and prevent seed bouncing out the slots. We only had them on for a short time because some seed came out of the bleed hole rather than going down to the coulter. It was rather annoying because we had shortened the pipes to fit them...

    Grain Drying

    Wondering what's general thoughts on DIY drying. 'If' someone were operating a 25 year old 12t/h continuous flow dryer for 900 acres, everything going through it. The intake is still from the 60s and microscopic and the handling and wet stora, is becoming unsustainable. The rape goes stright...

    12m Avatar

    @ajd132 @Clive and anyone else who's used one, I was wondering how you are getting on with them? How much do the two 6m wings float with the contours? Do the coulters have as much up and down travel as a 750a? Is the down pressure and general drilling performance just as good as the smaller ones...

    John Deere 6215r steering problems

    When our 2018 6215r is drilling with our 750a, as soon as the auto steer corrects the steering, the oil pressure to the Drill drops causing the Drill fan to loose speed. When the drill is put on another older 6210r we don’t get the problem. No one seems to be able to tell us what the problem is...
