    Cantilever Steel Size

    We’re looking to add a cantilever to cover over where the cows feed. How wide can we go, steel size will probably be 254 x 146 x 31. Will probably fit 9 x 3 timber purlins and f/c sheets. We want to stop the rain on the feed but not block out any sun or air flow. The existing eaves are about...

    Fertiliser or Fungicide?

    Looks like a window opening up end of week, weekend to get sprayer out. OSR beginning to flower, have Fungicide,PGR, boron to go on. Have had spray recs for about a month and never got it on. It's had 110kg/N already but normally like to get last application on as flowering starts. Winter...

    Why does it happen on bank holiday weekends?

    Best spray day we've had for weeks. Best spray day we've got forecast for weeks. Bloody alternator sh!t itself on the Bateman. No electrics, no spraying, apparently when the battery gets low enough the engine stops, then the emergency brake applies, even if you're driving down the road! Ho hum.

    Staffing Requirements

    Over the years staffing requirements have seemingly reduced as mechanisation has taken the toil out of many aspects of farming. However there is always a need for good mix of staff on all types of units as existing labour changes due to age, health and choices. At present I could look on my own...

    Worms and lead shot

    Does anyone know whether having copious amounts of lead shot lying around is harmful to worms? I've eaten plenty of shot embedded in game and vermin in my time, but my guts are rather less abrasive than a worm's. Just pondering this as I wandered over our pastures this pm, in places the...

    Alternative ways to store cereals.

    We might have 20-30 acres more than we need this year so a spring cereal is a thought. However we don't have any bins or sheds or even small silage pit to store it. What other alternatives. Crimp into an ag bag presume have to watch rats.

It worked well and did 9200/9300 Just 6/7 good quality ingredients. No extras. I did used to feed regumaize 44 ad lib in winter which I...

    Biggest 2wd tractor available

    Just been thinking about our feeder wagon tractor not too seriously as our current ones only done 13000 hrs but I see no reason we couldn’t take it to 20k. Was thinking the ideal tractor would be 6cyl about 140-150hp 2wd and very basic. But what’s available to buy new as it’s probably impossible...

    Ford 7810 won’t go into 2nd or 4th

    As above, I hope it’s a problem with a seized relay/shuttle. We are able to lubricate the shuttle for 1st an 3rd but can’t get to the necessary for the other two gears. My question is, are there panels in the floor that come up to allow access to the shuttle assembly ? or does the cab have to...
