These are my 3 tractors for 2500 acre arable and a few sheep. I love the simplicity and yet have enough tech to do everything I need.

Lowest hours 4400 highest has 6500.
but I will keep rebuilding them as nothing else really floats my boat.
750A has left slots open in places with wheat growing in bottom of slot. If I apply fertilizer now (pulan + tsp) would it scorch roots? (Photo doesn't show how open slot can be)
Just off the phone with a friend of mine who is Finance director for a large agricultural machinery group.
He says he couldn’t keep up with getting documents done for people buying tractors and gear before the end of the financial year .

Where its drying, it seems to be leaving the surface unbelievably hard and solid? particularly where it was left fine in the autumn in an attempt to get BG to chit back then.
So how are you drilling it?
a) Cultivate again? tends to smear below where any cultivator tine is dragged through. but...
Hoping to fit a liquid fertlizer kit to our 750 for spring drilling. Where is the best place to place the Fert, before the little press wheel or after it before the gutter fills the trench in?

Does anyone have 6 guttlers surplus , maybe half-worn/odd middles? I have a strip-till mod in mind and for some reason Mr Guttler can't make time to help me out. I have to make brackets so any style of centre will be fine.

After chatting to someone yesterday I can’t help but have some interest in the Novag drill. Bearing in mind that there is to my knowledge only one sold in the U.K. perhaps Cross Slot owners / operators could tell me what they do or don’t like on their drill and, where the Novag is better or...
Please be gentle with me as I am not a direct driller but have been looking into the options and I quite like the look of the weaving gd. Would this drill still work on sumo’ed land or do they need a firm surface to work on? Just wondering as I’ve got 50% sumo’ed ground and 50% lightly...
If we set something up that leveraged the power of forum group buying to achieve better prices how many of you would use it?
Not a traditional buying group as such in that you would neither have to pay to join or commit to buy exclusively from it but more the offer of products at a price which...
