axial

What's everyone going with at pre em this autumn? Usual suspects liberator and picopro/max? Does defy added to the mix help with grass weed??

Can anyone tell me roughly the new on farm price after negotiaion for a new mid-decent sized claas/nh combine say 25ft, ive not looked at shifting mine yet but i thought 250k would be about right now or could an ex demo be got for nearer 200?

We have long rye wrapping round the rotor, the augers that feed it in seem worn, has anyone ever changed those?

I'm out with Acres Insurance Brokers to catch some of the biggest combines getting the 21 harvest in catchy damp conditions. This Case 9250 Axial Flow together with a 12mtr MacDon header was doing a good job with a lot of tough straw to handle

I think a TFF member is using a JD x9 series combine this year, is it living up to the purchasers expectations,the same question applies to any one operating a Claas 8900. I ask as a machinery geek, and not someone who has to make the financial practicalities of making such a major...

Coming in. Is there more detailed information

Just changed the clean grain elevator drive chain on our 2166, there are two sprockets it can go on at its lowest point, it appears to of always been on the smaller of the two and this means the chain doesn't quite run straight causing it to rub on the tensioners bar. Is this setup correct? @tw15

Think after this season we are going to take our combining back in hand for a few reasons. Anyway the budget would be £150,000 and we’d want to keep it 7 seasons. We are cutting 800ac of w wheat and 200ac of spring wheat or spring barley. We bale majority of the straw but it goes into bale...

Hello, After some advice on combines as it’s all new to us. We grow about 250 acre between wheat barley and beans or rape and want a combine to do this job. Would like to spend little as possible around 25k ish to 30k on something to do the job. Lesser electrics the better and would like to be...

Various new belts to fit NH CR & TX ,Axial flow combines

Is the performance of Rotary Combines, egCase Axial Flow better than Hy brid combines eg Claas Lexion APS Hybrid System? Another words do Rotaries have less sieve /rotary losses when dealing with Barley , Oats etc that create a lot of straw for the separation system to deal with.?

When you get your Lexion out of the shed you have to state something portentous on Twitter such as: ‘Winter barley is a go’ A go? What is this mangling of the language? The correct phrase surely, is something like ‘harvest has commenced’ Alternatively: ‘The barley isn’t quite fit but we’re...

Thinking of swapping winter wheat for spring wheat here just to make life a bit easier in the autumn. But having never grown it and not asked the agronomist yet as I’d like a bit of knowledge, what is everybody doing weed control wise particularly for blackgrass and ryegrass? Pre-em? Emergence...

Should it remain at Oxford university? It apparently will due to high costs of removal :unsure: But what's your views. I'd suggest his only redeeming feature was to leave his wealth to the university and that in no way makes up for the rest of his views and actions.

I’ve driven a combine every harvest since I was 17, I’m 52 now and won’t be this year. With a dairy that takes up more of my time (and money) running my own combine is not really viable now. My last combine left this morning. It’s going to be a tough summer on a trailer but probably best in...

What rate to guarantee wild oat control in spring barley if crop is GS30. Given moisture will 0.6l/ha do or do you need 0.82l/ha (equivalent to old Axial at 0.45l/ha)?

What would cause twisted awns in winter barley. Had axial pro 2 weeks ago before awns appeared.....su to clean up some chickweed a couple of weeks before that. Could it be lack of boron?

Performance has been utterly pants on Sterile brome this year. Previous years it kills most of them, but always leaves a few stunted plants to return seed and continue the cycle. This year there are healthy plants all over the crop. Do I just put it down to the cold April allowing the brome to...

Up until now we have not had a problem with black grass. But one field seems to have got away on us. It’s first wheat after osr and would expect it yield about 10t/ha. There is not enough grass to effect the yield but too much to pull by hand. The area is about 12ac which would be about 4% of...

Had a really busy day today, and made my first ever spray cock up, Was putting some Magphos and amino on my wheat today, and after talking with agronomist a few weeks ago I said send out some teb for the gleam and a bit of moddus or equivalent for a couple of really forward fields. Anyway...
