Inspired in some way by the gatecrash of the Fendt gearbox thread, just thought I'd see what folks did.
20 years ago we managed with two 6290's and a 3075, and up to three hire tractors at peak times and contractor help for beet drilling and harvesting, hedge cutting, square baling, destoning...
Mixing own grain here for ewes and finishing lambs, looking for something less hassle & accurate than loader and wall. Anyone using a diet feeder to just mix grain, like idea of it as can make up tmr if want and also maybe propcorn grain if need be. Any other options that would be worth...
Thinking of getting a 2 cube bucket for are Teleporter in peoples opinions is that a good size for the model? Jobs will be general loading feeder wagon grain and muck out of cattle sheds etc many thanks
BVL 10 cube feeder wagon, 2 way conveyor on the front it’s a 96 model in good working order, viewing available and can be seen in action, been owned by us a small beef farm for last 20 years, it’s a rare narrow model, selling due to now selling stores not finishing, looking for 3k ono
So I have 500kg rye, 500kg oats, and 50 odd kilos of small seed (clover, brassicas) to sow after maize.
Easiest way to mix it together?
At the moment looking like 3 gallon buckets layered in the hopper...
Thanks
I want to build a pole barn (built with old telegraph poles) next to an existing timber framed shed to cover some machinery. The existing shed has piers at 4 meter spacing.
My questions are; 1) could I use 2nd hand telegraph poles to span an 8 meter section?
2) Can anyone recommend what sort of...
Sort of promised myself a digger for my 60th birthday. Thinking 6 ton 360 ideally would be wheels but most are on tracks, so it will be tracks.
I take it the driver needs a certificate of comptence & insurance, anything else.
I'm approaching 59 but the right machine is available locally, I...

I'm happy with them, and looking at them I'm really surprised at how well things should look in 12-18 months time. I've been extremely hard on the figures, milk price is in at 32ppl and costs are all over the top rather than under.
However, there's a period...

Anyone fed rolled beans to youngstock between 3/4 months old until about 18 monthsish? Over the winter combined with rolled wheat to make an 18% blend (40% beans 60% wheat). I've never fed them but assume someone must have,how do they do on them?
They seem like a cheap source of protein from...
We're thinking about slatting a shed for sheep, approximately 100ft x 28ft. Plan is to make a 4ft deep tank, two rows of columns going the length of the tank with concrete beams sitting on the columns along the length and so the fibreglass supports go across the width of the tank in 3 spans...
We're currently discussing going back to milking on the home farm. Thinking of milking 80-90 medium yielders on a grass based system, all year round calving. Will definitely having an advisor to do a business plan before looking for a milk contract and possibly a bank loan. Wondering if we are...
OK so we only buy 2nd hand ones with around 5000hrs on them then generally add at least 1000+ hours to each/year but, frig me, these modern tractors are pansies always throwing up error codes and acting up.
Have manufacturers overdone it with all the sensors and the stupidity of emissions...
Why can’t anyone look after guards.
Real tidy mower just come in.
Both guards been missing for years. Grass wrapped round the shafts and gotten inside the gearboxes.
Chains not been clipped on and sound round wrecking the paint.
Everyone moans that machinery is too expensive yet some can’t be...

Hello there. We’d like to convert to tmr for in lamb ewes and overwintered store cattle, to make use of a small area of homegrown cereals. The trouble is we currently do everything with just one loader tractor. Are there any options for running a feeder wagon in this situation or I’m guessing...
