After this springs exercise with spring barley that was spun on (undressed hss seed ) . We were getting late last week of March so spun on the seed and a very light cultivate in with a wilrich cultivator and rolled in and it had a pre em . If we had waited any longer it would of been mid April...
Starting to get a little worried now. Spring seed might be short... Weather doesnt look great on the forcast - given how sh!t harvest was, could we be in for just as bad an autumn?
Has anybody ever owned or used an alstrong auctus re seeding machine? Looks to be hell of a bit of kit but intrigued to know what others think. Theres a mounted and a trailed version. I'd probably be more interested in the mounted for handiness of getting it in and out of places but would then...
Hello.
Im afraid this is not a very positive post. More one to voice my concerns over the approach to the founder of Tilly Pass.
Until recently, I was "connected" to the founder, #Jane Gurney, on LinkedIn.
I appreciate many on here do not appreciate her organisation, though I always try and...

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?
Hello,
Looking to buy Claydon Hybrid or SR drill and wanted to know if it is possible to mount cutting discs, without removing leading leg, like new Hybrid EVO drills. Maybe there are some factory or aftermarket solutions?
Anything front mounted is not an option, because I will use fronttank...
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!
Had an email from Farming Connect this week inviting me to a webinar about the scheme on the 25th at 7.30. I've never done one of these but I have registered and will see what happens...

Was drilling grass the other week and it was putting out nearly an extra 2 kg/ acre I just kept putting a bag in at a time weigh what left just before it ran out and compare to acerage covered no good though if not extra seed. Kept winding back each bag.
At the start I put PTO in...
We struggle to drill beans any deeper than 75mm with Amazone combi.
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...
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.
We had a new Sumo DTS toolbar/front hopper this spring which has had quite a few issues and Sumo have been very good at sorting them out so far.
All of our spring crops had massive 20m misses/boxes on the “ins” put down to surging oil flow to the fan and a lots of air leaks on the pressurised...
Is it just me or do people find replacing the standard coulter wearing point a sod of a job on these drills.Is there an easy way to access the retaining bolts or do you need a special spanner?
On a previous drill I threw the standard coulters away and fitted something different,but would...
Never grown them before, recovering OSR grower. Which is a good winter variety and what seed rate if ploughing or Claydon drilled please? Any other advice welcome.

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. The metalwork had always seemed tinny to me and this has done nothing to change my mind. Would it really cost that much in the grand...
