My IH434 is used only 2-3 times a year for loader work, so maintaining battery is always an issue. Its latest battery is not holding charge. I normally use the battery from my compact tractor but that is ageing and now does not have enough oomph to start the 434 - heater plugs and starter...

So I’ve always been interested in hearing about large scale commercial farming operations throughout the world. From dairies in Saudi to thousands of Ha under cultivation in parts of Africa. I know that socially they seem to be an issue for some but for others they are profitable ventures. Just...

Oops

Just saw this on the news, with farmers being supported by Chris Packam. If I had been drinking last night I would have assumed I was still drunk. Didn’t know anything about this march/protest. Is anyone going?

I’d really like to get an instantaneous hot water system for outside in one of the buildings. Does anyone have any recommendations? There is electric but it’s quite a distance from where I need it, so I’m thinking one of these battery operated propane heaters? Cheers

Meaning people who live in vans... there seem to be an increasing number of them over this way. I was aware of them, but until this year hadn't really thought there were many, but I was having a chat with a copper at a hospital today and our conversation veered toward this subject, me saying I'd...

Written by Eva Osborne-Sherlock from Agriland Ross and Peter Anderson’s mother, Jean, bought them a Field Marshall Series 2 for £35 following their father’s death. This would ultimately lead to the founding of the Field Marshall Club in 1988. The Anderson’s lost their father, Fred, when Ross...

Been offered some milk calves from a local dairy herd, hereford & bb x, at £120, I quite keen, to talk over missus> What everyone thinking. Working on £3 of milk power a day - does seem right....

probably just a rant on my part. We are moving grain at the moment. Drivers ring up to give an eta fine then they ask where we are. They have address and post code still need complete directions do they not look at maps in there breaks? We are very easy to find on main roads. Got a lowish bridge...

The label says no detergent, but it struggles to get my sheep and oil stained bib and brace anything close to clean just with a water only wash?

Hi all, Names Zak, I'm currently looking for permission on some private land for a bit of ratting or hedging/rabbiting, I enjoy it as a hobby and love watching my dogs work. I have a few working dogs all trained and livestock broken. I follow the "leave no trace" principle. If anyone needs a bit...

Having bit of a bout of mastitis at the moment of all sorts of bacteria really (usually it’s strep uberis in the spring around calving). Probably not helped by us being on a slow rotation, camping, heavy silage feeding in sacrifice paddock, all due to drought/lack of grass. SCC is around...

Why don’t some TFF members, put the county where they live on their Avatar? What are they hiding /guilty of , for goodness sake TFF is only a forum for people with countryside interest .

Will a 4x3 camping trailer such as the one below, be man enough to take a few bales of hay out to the sheep over poached fields behind the quad in winter? Any thoughts or alternative suggestions welcomed. Diolch.

This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch. All are welcome, you can even post prices if you want. The only rule...

I inherited and share ownership of land (12-13 acres) in East Wales with my Dad and Sister. There is a farmer in-situ who has rented the land from my Nan since the 60's for cattle and sheep grazing. He pays £260 twice a year via cheque. There is no written contract for this but apparently it's...

Had a friend of my sons here today helping weigh the lambs. Started explaining small things and he got really interested. Growth rates, EBVs, on farm selection, IgA, fly strike, tail length, birth coats, skin thickness, culling policies, forage only vs cereals and forage quality - we talked...

I get the impression that it would be wise to have a back up plan for electric this winter, so want to buy a generator. Something I could run my house with if needed, or basic workshop tools etc. Not looking for anything massive, don't plan to run a grain dryer off it, or anything like that...
