Hi all,
I'm an engineering University student (at Strathclyde in Glasgow) and I have chosen looking at agricultural equipment for my masters project!
The project I've proposed is looking at PTO shafts and a way to make them safer and reduce related injuries. I am not a farmer or from a farming...
How is the red text below to be interpreted - having a debate with another person about what this means - I think it is #1 - he thinks it is #2? Who is right?
What combination of (i) - (iii) are defined here?
Is it saying distance can be reduced to 3m if:
1. incline of less than 10% AND...
So as time is getting nearer and our new cubicle shed is going to be in use this winter we’re looking at options for bedding. We’re putting in teemore mattresses and are considering envirobed but would appreciate some feedback on anybody doing so. Also a rough idea how much it costs per day per...
As above really. Is there any difference between dribble bar and trailing shoe, ie can I graze it any quicker after trailing shoe than dribble? How soon could I graze after dribble bar/trailing shoe application. Can I cut out artificial nitrogen altogether on my grazing ground or silage ground...
Sold our old jd 8530 (brilliant tractor) but have to say our new optum 300 is a beast a real pocket rocket. Replaced the 8530 and does the same heavy draft jobs but also nimble enough on a 18 tonne trailer or 3 m mower. Really impressed
Of the acres we have down to grass all but 10 acres is grazed but we do have dedicated silage fields that get grazed as the season goes. Some get grazed well into the new year depending on the year.
Some of the fields can be wet but not heavy soil types and docks are an issue.
I take it theres...
100 cows on 100 acres Cutting frequently to bales or zero grazing.
Regular reseed rotation and import quite a bit of nutrients in feed.
Not used any p or k for years just urea and sulphur for first 2/3 of the season going little and often.
Gone to all umbilical/dribble bar and just put in a...

Recently bought a new to me puma 160 cvx. Auto steer ready, valves steering column, wires with bracket on roof and it has a pro 700 screen.
Do i just need the receiver for the roof and a control box that goes behind the passenger seat?
Whats the best option, just for fert, dribble bar slurry...
I'm looking into doing the above, I've been reading anything I can find on here and some of the FB pages.
I'm just after any little bits of advice really, I think I've decided on chafer dribble bars as the ground is undulating so keeping a constant boom height won't be easy, dribble bars should...
Admin,
I can understand why the Dribble bars/tb thread was locked and I think you were right to do so. But why was someone allowed to post such unproven rubbish to start the thread?
Heard of two farms locally that have switched from splash plates to dribble bars and are now spreading grazing ground with slurry.
Both of these dribble bars have been bought with grant money and are thought to be spreading TB amongst the cattle with stomach lesions coming back at slaughter...
I am wondering what were the biggest issues or problems you have with your slurry applicators. I have been looking into the different brands and types of dribble bars and I am wondering what was the biggest nuisance you have with your machine. I have seen that some people find some dribble bars...
Having just followed a trailer load of solids along the the road that were to be tipped in a field gateway it got me wondering what exactly the point of slurry separation is?
It seems to me to just create yet another product to be handled and involves yet more machinery (separation unit, pumps...
Friend of mine has asked what's happening to his spring beans. The photo above shows the start of what seems to kill the bean. It is affecting the whole field. His first taught was spray drift from a neighbour. But agronomist says that whole field would not be affected. As it's a funny shape...
Have been using liquid and fibre digestate this year and very pleased with it.
One of the ad plants is about to start using food waste. This is a council owned and run plant. Ticking some boxes no doubt. Would you be happy taking digestate from a plant running on waste food. Or are you doing...
