We are ceasing potato production after about 20yrs of growing for the prepack market. We have been growing them along with some combinable cropping as a joint venture with a neighbouring farm. We have amassed quite a portfolio of kit which we believe will be worth over £500k. The machinery is...

155mm here in March, so far. Agronomy now facing an unfortunate combination of surface waterlogging and subsoil moisture deficiency, with current root death likely to restrict scarce moisture uptake later on. Combining that with last autumn's much higher cost base and next harvest's lower...

A longshot, but looking for a new secondhand antenna for our old EZ500 GPS, an AG15 according to the book. The old one fell off the roof of the Bateman cab and sat nicely on the exhaust where it burned a hole and filled with water before we realised. One from a 250 or 750 would probably do the...

I am looking to buy a new crush for Aberdeen Angus suckler herd needs to work with calves of TB test age upwards for regular whole herd tests. Plus removable sides if possible to allow calf to suckle. Looking at IAE, Premier, Ritchie etc and helpful advice welcome, manual or automatic closure?

Since its 1st March tomorrow, thought I'd start the next year's worth of sugar beet fun and games 🤦‍♂️ @Breckland Boy have you started....or finished!! drilling yet?

Who’s going to use Univoq this year? The only real substitute is Revystar but at £27 / ha more expensive it’s a difficult decision. We used Univoq for half a day last year and had to replace all of our DCV diaphragms, over winter we have found several damaged tank hoses and replaced the pump...

Just picked up a used Bateman, put water in it to work out how to use everything. However I can't get it to paint the sprayed area despite doing everything it says in the manual. Any tips?

I’ve bought a fairly tidy one of these to do my own spraying with. Now, I don’t know much about sprayers and the operators manual is somewhat sparse in any detail! Any hints, tips or advice would be gratefully received! I’m not a complete numpty at figuring things out but at same time don’t want...

A word of caution…. I sold my 2015 Amazone UX3200 sprayer a few weeks ago because it had done 70,000 acres and it was also tactically the right thing to do from a deprecation/tax point of view. i bought it new, and I can honestly say it never once let me down. Ever. I wanted a new Amazone...

I am looking at liquid fertiliser nozzles for a Bateman and wondered if anyone had had experience of bfs 5 star plus variable rate nozzles. Has anyone had trouble with scorch using them?

I know this sounds absurd. Just under 200 acres. How difficult can it be? But now we are required to be “qualified” in every aspect from agronomy, fertiliser planning, driving various bits of machinery etc and to attend ongoing training to gain CPD points I really just don’t have time to do...

I ordered a new IW trailer one year ago in January 2022 from a local tractor dealership and IW retailer. Nothing too exotic; just a 14ft stock box. I’ve enquired a couple of times recently but as yet I haven’t had a straight answer about the expected delivery schedule- just salesman patter. I do...

Thinking of changing my trailed sprayer to an SP, I’ve seen a used Knight 1835, 2011, with around 5k hours on. I don’t know anyone whose had or driven one. Any opinions please, and if I go to look at it, what should I look for? N.B. I’m also looking at Househam AR’s and Sands Horizons, which...

Now PWM has been round for a year or 2 how are people finding it does it deliver all it promises? Is the inability to use Air Induction Nozzles an issue? What are the running maintenance costs like when compared with conventional Air shutoffs? Is it worth the premium of £1000 per metre...

Putting up a new cattle shed, looking at internal gates/handling/crush etc, what opinions do people have on the various suppliers (Iae, Bateman, Ritchie etc) Galv quality? Build quality? Backup on issues? Cheers Crawford

A friend of mine runs a Bateman SP sprayer. I think it’s an RB16. He’s had a couple of cases of glyphosate contamination when spraying cereals, it resulted in crop damage. He would be thorough enough in terms of washout although he has never used the clean water tank. The sprayer would be 10-15...

After a tidy manual foot crush to get me going if anyone has anything Manual wopa or similar ,
