Got quite a bit of frost kill on winter OSR . There is new growth appearing from just above the soil will this new growth actually make a crop ? The whole crop had N and sulphur two weeks ago and the good plants are growing rapidly . Thanks

how did all the farms and gardens do in 2022? record highs? record lows? average? too wet? too dry? please share.

Thought it would be a good idea now that harvest 2022 is well underway to have a thread with grain yields/ variety of Barley/ Wheat etc all in one place. So how are your crops yielding for 2022?

What’s the cheapest conventional none hybrid osr seed out there at the minute and what seed treatments are used as I’m a bit out the loop osr wise.

Big loss to this country. RIP

I ve got 40 texel ewes to house,due to lamb over next two weeks....How long should I expect a 4ft round bale to last them? .They ll also be getting a good feed of ewe nuts too . Thanks in advance

is a mf 828 the same as a greenland rv156 :scratchhead:

What extra would you get in a round bale if the same bailer did 4ft and 5ft bales , belt baler , thanks

I’m looking at getting myself a round baler. Only covering about 75 acres straw and 50 acres grass/ hay of my own Just wondering what would be a good make / model to consider, ideally bale hay as 4fts and straw 5fts. New Holland seem quite good value, John Deere 590’s / welfare’s seem to...

Hi and happy(ish) new year to you all. We are planning to turn a field over to grass and make small hay bales for the local equestrian market. About 2.5 Ha total. We have a baler and handling equipment and a Vicon speeder 300 that's been heavily modified to fluff and aerate straw behind our...

I usually make 15000 square bales of straw at harvest time and it's pretty slow and stressful, next year I'm hoping to make 20000 and can't think how to speed things up much more without forking out £40k+ for a second hand balepacker. There's only 3 of us, one man on the baler and flat 8 sledge...

Anybody any experience with both? On paper very similar balers, kuhn works out less with a drawbar on for the wrapper and mchale don't make a drawbar any more [emoji85]

Hi guys n gals just wondering if anyone knows of a good haulage company that can pick up a non running tractor from Northern Ireland and deliver to Nantwich ? the trailer needs to have a winch in order to load the tractor as it’s not able to be loaded any other way TIA

Blimey, what a collection! Shame everything has sat outside. Really liked the look of the old Nuff with cleaner loader built on..... Lots of tools too

what are people paying contractors per bale for round bale silage baled and wrapped?( 6 layers)

I’m looking about for a new/tidy used moco seeing that my contractor is giving up. Would really like a trailed mower like our old Kuhn 250g 10 years ago! Any body out there had any experience with a krone 2800 trailed or a jd 1355. Gone off the idea of a mounted mower after my mate snapped the...

I'm shopping for a baler, don't have a lot of baling to do and will likely upgrade in a few years but to start with I need something under £5k that's a good machine. Don't mind a bit of work to get it right but a machine that's reliable and simple would be good. Bear in mind that although I have...

I have a three speed case maxxum 115 6cyl and I switched the speed to 540 standard to do a bit of mowing The next day I tried to row up some grass with my lely rotonde 510 And it seemed like the rake was turning slower in 540 standard than 540 E is this normal? ( I was at 2000 revs in standard...

Hey how's everyone doing? I had a cheeky experiment direct drilling winter wheat in late January, 2 months later nothing had chitted and my agronomists told me there's no need to glyphosate and just to drill spring oats. Annnyway looks like some cheeky wheat plants didn't get the message...
