Been offered some but I'll keep the price out for the minute as I'm keen on having the material!
Looking at repairing an existing farm track.
Never laid them before so how difficult is it to work with? What sort of prep do I need to do on the ground?
How much would I get an 8 wheeler - I'm...
just a reminder to make sure your orders are in and if not your paperwork is in order
Dont want anyone falling foul of the red tractor policing unit as you know they will be clipboards at the ready with eyes on the forecast for lack or rain etc
God help anyone that has a RT Audit coming up in...

We have a skiold 160 roller mill that needs new rollers, does anywhere sell replacement pattern/non genuine rollers as they are roughly £3000 for a set of rollers from skiold through danagri which...
What are the differences please as the JCB website is extremely poor. I’m looking at machines around the year 2020 to do general farm work along with some construction work such as loading a stone crusher. A little bit of towing a bale trailer and must be at least 7m.
I have quite a few youngsters help me at various times of year. Vet students, 15 year old work experience kids, ag college students, the odd NEET from the county council.
Most are ok, some are very good, some are muppets. However the thread that runs between nearly all the youngsters that are...
Got some formerly good hardcore farm tracks which are getting veery pot holes due to this winter weather. Filling potholes is becoming a daily chore at the moment as whatever we put in just comes out again when vehicles drive over it. Have tried breaking up the area around the potholes to get...
Just seen in FW that RT plan to press ahead.
RT(and so NFU) have now come out with it.
So that's the battle lines drawn..
If you want GFC, then stay in nfu
If your again it, join BFU
Also looks like we need to talk with NSA
Anyone with contacts at top of NSA?

Hi All
2024's Challenge.
I have an old barn with a leaking asbestos roof, i'm looking to take the roof down and potentially convert the barn (i will look at getting planning permission first). The barn has spray foam applied on the underside of the roof sheets.
Any ideas on the best way to...
How would you spec a semi permanent track to take periodic 44t lorries? Just interested. Don’t say concrete. What depth of hardcore would I need assuming greenfield site? And I realise it would need maintenance. 300mm crush on terram be enough or diesel it entirely depend on the subsoil?
Hey folks we have a 1mile long track to our yard and house.
Its big rubble underneath with road plannings on top. It’s becoming quite potholed now and while when it’s dry I can keep going and filling them in with more plannings, it’s just not lasting. I do have a 13 ton digger so I can quite...

So both AHDB and NFU have promised independent reviews into Red Tractor to dampen the flames caused by the farmer outrage over Greener Farm commitment plans
It's easy to promise such things but HOW do you...
Hi all,
I have roughly 30 acres of grade 3 agricultural land , just looking for advice on what is a profitable option for it ?
I would like it to be my main source of income , I have a barn on the site. It is at present grass

She's clearly biased towards the coporate members of the NFU compared to the farmer members. She's finishing naturally in February apparently but should she still be there today?
When she first took over she was on the Red Tractor board and wanted to remain on it whilst being NFU president...
In another thread I realised RT was doomed from the very start because no base price was created on which a premium could be payed.
NFU sleepwalked into giving assurance away for free and has been in denial ever since.
We are were we are so let's see if can find a solution.
I think we should...
Good morning. So our main overwinter barn keeps cattle in for about 3 to 4 months with a deep bed system. The problem is the previous owner used a mixture of poor quality concrete, boulders and clay in various spots which is a nightmare come mucking out and then muck spreading.
This winter we...

Is anyone else finding Bracken plants where never had before? Noticed a very small number last year. Now noticable that they are spreading. Driving around the district seeing a lot of plants appearing, mostly in roadside ditches. Cant remember seeing any in the wider area until last year.
