Evening all, currently running a reekie 2000 cleanflow but am struggling now the weather has turned against us. Looking at a wheel drive harvester to help propel me along. What are peoples thoughts, looking to spend under 10K. On chalky dirt very hard going when wet !!

As above, we are experiencing issues with the diablos on our GZ shoving soil on occasions and not turning/ flowing properly as it should. We are on extremely light black fen so not the easiest of soils to work with. We have tried moving the diablos in the bolt holes into the forward most...

We have a 2004 GZ with auto depth. Has anyone had any issues where one side lifts out randomly? I am not sure whether there is a problem with the auto depth or whether it is dirt sticking to the discs making the soil boil up, resulting in the machine lifting one side out. We are on very light...

What's everyone elses thoughts on the low N malting barley job? Spot price at moment £130/t. £5 premium over feed barley. Nov 20 futures at £175/t so malting barley discounted £45/t to feed wheat. Don't know about anyone else, but germination been a problem here. Sample barley in store, all...

Anybody know where I could source a good electric ram (linear actuator ( for lifting the dalhmans up and down .Painfully slow lifting the table Often thought there should have been one each side like the arrangement for the agitators on the main web

How is experiance with those ? Quality and yield?

Asking for a friend as I'm never growing the shite again .

We grow 5 acre of potatoes for farmshop & because we have heavy land or light land with stone pick by hand. I'm sure many think why not just buy the potatoes. The answer is that people like them, whether its the rotation, the manure, the soil but people love them. However the 45 year old...

Anybody had their spring barley tested yet? RGT Planet N content averages 1.76 here.

When do you cut it and do you roundup it before you cut it

Very quite on here so far.

Agronomist looking at a bit of winter milling wheat today to time up for milky ripe protein N - 2 weeks off yet apparently which I would suggest makes august harvest unlikely? No OSR to cut - cant see us dong much if anything until mid-August? Big rea of Linseed juts getting final N so that...

It's in tonnes / acre sorry . Round up or round down your estimate , it's only a guess

Some of the stuff i've sown is, some is ok, some is terrible! It looks like i've sown it too thin, but I've not, it is desperate for a good downpour, I was thinking while driving from them earlier, there's not been drop of proper rain since they went in the ground. How's yours looking?

I’m struggling to see where government policy is going to go. Currently we have the supply issues and the next year or two will be disrupted however if a Covid vaccine is successful then the lure of cheap imported food will be irresistible to a cash strapped government. Business as was usual?

As above , the idea is that it will crush some clods in bare patches ,thereby creating seed to soil contact? I say that as looks to have been a job to conserve moisture where crops have been planted conventionally.

These are my 3 tractors for 2500 acre arable and a few sheep. I love the simplicity and yet have enough tech to do everything I need. 8530 7930 6930 Lowest hours 4400 highest has 6500. but I will keep rebuilding them as nothing else really floats my boat.

Lacking the ability to get out and do the jobs booked in, the maintenance jobs are about caught up. So my next project is to build my front mounted toolbox with removable swath roller for hay and straw. Yes i know its early but better now than rushing. I have four tyres to go on, so it would be...

Does anyone have experience of the different tillering rates of the main varieties on the market? Is there any real difference? I'm thinking of varieties like Planet, Diablo and Cosmopolitan. Any help gratefully received in order to fill in my ignorance, having not grown it since 2013!
