I've an annoying issue with blackgrass in winter barley, it was drilled with a horsch sprinter on 2'' points so rows are wide. I'm thinking about using my browns 6m grass harrows to try and take out the blackgrass plants between the rows. I think its a bit wet and early just yet but hoping early...

Anyone had sight of a weed puller machine? Hydraulically driven with gangs of tyres used to rip out weeds like charlock etc. I’ve made some enquires and they exist but are proving difficult to get hold of. Able to make one in the workshop but would appreciate any information on hydraulic motor...

Hello, I am growing OSR this year on some ground that has had problems with charlock in the past. Apart from growing a Clearfield variety I wondered whether any one had some tips on how to control it, such as a weed wiper. Thanks Jim

Does it have activity against chickweed? Looking for something to spray mixed brassicas and beetroot for chickweed and redshank.

I would like to grow winter beans on a small scale (20 acres) but I need a drill, many years ago people used to use carrier ? drills, I think Are they still around for modest money?, I know they can be spun on and ploughed in but dont really want to do it.

Looking for a weed puller for physically pulling charlock out of brassica crops. New, used or even designs to fabricate one for next year! Thanks.
