baling

Would it be feasible to grow a crop of Spring peas, unsprayed, with the aim of incorporating as a green manure after 12 weeks? The reason I ask is that there is a Welsh enviro scheme open at the moment, where one of the options is to grow a protein crop with no weed control. It would need to be...

Just noticed this for sale. I have the same baler but have no idea what the 2 boards bolted on this one might be? Factory option or home made improvement? Mine suffers from unevenn net tension that I cannot solve. Just wonder if this is related in some way? Any ideas???? Actually. Looking more...

How hard are people running their boilers? Tier 1 pays upto 1314 hours (1,314,000 kwh) and tier 2 pays anything after that. There is 8760 hours in a year but you’d never get a boiler running at 100% efficiency to actually do 8,760,000 kwh per year? Ours runs between 1,500,000 and 2,500,000 kwh...

So, my time on the seat will be going up this coming season, been enjoying our classic fleet the past few years, but coming to accept they are tiring to run on long days and should possibly look to go back a bit more modern. Thinking to go two to one with 7800 and 6400 against a medium frame...

I've got a New Holland 57 Baler. It's not tying the knots properly which is causing issues with bale integrity. The knotter isn't dull. The twine isn't old or damaged. Next steps to troubleshoot this?

Given the fact that subsidy goes straight to the bottom line(net profit) how does everyone plan to replace this? im not asking can you "survive" without it, simply how will you replace it? or will you just accept that you will make less money? given the fact the general populations minimum wage...

Advice please. Never had a fixed chamber baler, always had variable, currently running a NH BR7060 What is the above baler like in straw? Will it pack it in as well as what we currently have? Not saying the New Holland is mega, just don’t want it to be any worse.

following on from the thread about JD getting too expensive and someone claiming mccormick were dearer cost of ownership per clock hr than fendt or deutz i thought it could be worth discussing some actual figures, ill go first NH 210 bought 2020 for 88k trade in 2015 NH 210 10k hrs, 24k

Our parlour feeders are knackered. Keeping them going with welding up anything which breaks and filling in gaps but probably got another year tops in them, its a loft with manual feeding and drops of .9kg each time. Not keen on replacing them as I think really long term the parlour will move but...

Honestly what is so wrong with just farming nowadays?? All you hear is we have to diversify, we need to be shopkeepers, or sell ice cream, or have tourists on site, or go into rewildling etc etc etc...... You dont see any other industry getting pummeled so much that they have to basically go...

Written by Eva Osborne-Sherlock from Agriland Large baling contractors are being warned of the risk of fines from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), due to non-payment of the plastic packaging tax (PPT). The tax applies to manufacturers or importers to the UK of more than 10t/year of baler twine...

What do I do? I've now asked someone 6 times for an invoice for work he did for me 6 months ago! I'm not sure exactly how much it is, I think it's just under £500 but it's pissing me right off. I had a phone call the other day from someone asking why I haven't paid as I'm now 7 days over due...

Inspired in some way by the gatecrash of the Fendt gearbox thread, just thought I'd see what folks did. 20 years ago we managed with two 6290's and a 3075, and up to three hire tractors at peak times and contractor help for beet drilling and harvesting, hedge cutting, square baling, destoning...

I gave up second wheats a good few years ago due to grassweed control, lack of!, thought I'd give it another go as the farm is cleaner and now running a disc direct drill, flooding aside, it looks terrible, what have people learnt with DD second wheat, as I'm now hearing advice along the lines...

Hi - I'm looking for some advice. We have several fields that through neglect have built up dense rushes over the last 15-20 years. A couple were drained in the 1980's / 90's, one was not although does not seem overly wet. Soil PH around 5.6-5.8. P&K fine. Some although not all of the land may...

Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland Case is the latest company to bring Tractor Implement Management (TIM) to baling with the launch of Case IH Baler Automation, a system which follows the trend of relieving the operator of many of smaller repetitive control tasks involved. Most TIM...

As per the title. The Minette Batters thread is well established, and largely reflects a damning indictment of the NFU’s complicity in the self perpetuating role of the Red Tractor debacle. As I have stated, twice, in this thread I have recently resigned from the NFU on principle. How many...
