    Drilling tramlines

    I’d like to put some permanent tramlines in this autumn, but concerned about green grains as I only run on 24m. Do most folk on narrower tramlines like me still run the drill with tramlining on? Or am I overly worried about green grains and should just crack on and drill without tramlines?

    Grants for the big bioys ,

    Why is the grant scheme skewed in favour of the big boys . Direct drill must be 6m or bigger then you can have a 27k handout. What about those who only need a 3m or 4m. No grant for them . Throw money at those that often could afford it without the grant yet the small guy who needs it more ...

    25cm row width, Horsch Avatar

    I know this has been covered before, but now that more time has passed (since many converted to direct drills whether using conventionally, a mixture or DD), how are spring sown crops yielding at 25cm? How are the issues with brackling? In practice is there much difference between 16,7cm and...

    Vaderstad Rapid Tyres

    Our 2008 4m Rapid has a few punctures, mainly in the rear row of following tyres. They are the cleated type, seem to be all tubed. Any recommendations for improving them and less punctures ? Would they run tubeless ? If so fill them with Oko ? Could foam fill but does that add much more weight...

    Stubble turnips / forage crops

    Does any grow stubble turnips or forage crops? Or charge others for the crop on a per headage basis? Thinking of doing it this winter on some spare land but not sure what the going rate is and if it would be economical to do? Any help appreciated
