    Re-sheeting livestock trailer body roof

    Looking at options to pop rivet on. Can't find steel sheeting 1-1.5mm thick for the required length of 12'. Best I could find was 3050mm. Any recommended suppliers of either sheet steel or an alternative? Is uPVC liable to split/crack under road vibes?

    AHL2 - Winter Bird Food

    Has anyone ever autumn established SFI AHL2 after a crop off winter wheat, grown fast seeding crops such as mustard and then gone into a spring barley late March early April? Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!

Last year geese really spoiled about 20% of an 8 ha field as the crop was emerging , locating the seed by following the emerging plant to the seed. What depth do most drill at ? Tried removing depth limiting discs, but no real...

    Ultimate Direct Drill still not built?

    I get the impression from the article in this weeks Farmers Weekly about farmers views on their Direct Drills, that the ultimate Direct Drill has not been built. Is that a fair judgment or not? Perhaps some of the farmers featured are TFF members, so would be interesting to hear what they say.

    Mike Mitchell/John Deere combines

    Anyone else seen his $20,000+ repair job on YouTube? Now I love John Deere tractors; but this video is the exact reason I would be very nervous with a jd combine.
