drills

Like many, I expect, I have the option of accepting a grant for a direct drill. Have Avatar quotes, for the options I believe we need, 6M & 8M both show a good payback on planned usage on 3 years of SFI and commercial expected use. So which one? Want to remain flexible,; not 'need' the crawler...

How much do tine drills actually need? I want to move away from using pigtail tines on a home made drill, due to breaking too often. One option is a tine like a weaving saber or Metcalf, though one observation is that they won't have as much under frame clearance with either of them. I have...

Do you do the above to try and get a chit of the shed winter barley grain so as to TRY and prevent so many BARLEY volunteers coming up in the W Wheat the year after the OSR. DO YOU DO THE ABOVE EVEN THOUGH YOU USE DIRECT DRILLING / ZERO TILLING, FOR ALL YOUR OTHER COMBINABLE CROPS.

I'm currently looking at tine drill options as our strip till system is making our blackgrass problems worse - to the point that blackgrass levels are dictating cropping & cultivation policy. What I need is a tine drill that can cope with brashy stone, and be capable of sowing into unmoved...

Heard today of two big main dealers not taking trade in s . One is carrying. Multimillions in stock, think there are going to be several go bang. How long can you turnover 150m and only make 2m profit whilst carrying millions in stock. You don't need much to go wrong before your re in the sh!t.

Afternoon all , We are looking at one of these drills with the Orso power harrow. There’s a few round the country in dealers yards. Both single and double discs are available Opinions please ? Thanks

Hi all. I’m farming up in North Yorkshire on some heavy going land. Plenty of muck goes on. Current system is Sumo Trio and then carrier if needed. Drill with vaderstad. I’m wanting to move into the more no till territory on some of the better fields first so I’m looking at a later model Horsch...

Apologies in advance for the rant.... but better out than in I suppose! Just got off the sprayer having put the podstick on the OSR and never seen the farm look so bad. BG, wild oats, rye grass everywhere. I know I am not the only one but it makes me wonder what went wrong..... Also got me...

I took some training at work this week. Every time I take training through work it makes me wonder how there aren't more serious injuries and even fatalities on farms. Farmers seem to plug along with "doing things the way they've always done" and "We'll just be careful" and hope that those...

As above. I ask as the rebranding of old farming techniques/ practices seems to be all part of 21st century farming hype, created by academics etc( even some younger farmers), thinking they are thinking out of the box. :banghead: ;) Not good as in all honesty It’s not taking farming forward as...

Very poorly laid out with far to small walk ways. Ludicrous traffic management. Low footfall. I’m afraid I won’t be bothering again especially as next year it’ll be at leadenham as the A17 will just be locked up. I hadn’t been for years before 2023 and I thought they did a decent job, but this...

Not really sure where I’m going with this but I’ll ask anyway. what thought processes do people have when buying depreciating assets for the farm business? . I’m at a point(I think I always have been) where the tax saving argument doesn’t wash with me. So when buying depreciating assets what do...
