Krone’s general purpose forage wagon offers a new level of versatility and gentle and fast unloading of a wide variety of cargo, including vegetable and root crops. The GX machine is available in two sizes – 44m3 and 52m3 – with two optional discharge...
Being lazy here, anyone done the rough cost of each, got the kit to do both, clamp tieing up two good barns that could house young stock or straw, have to find an extra set of hands to run trailers for clamp. Use thick side sheet and double top sheet in clamp, use 6 layers of wrap on the 6...
Afternoon all - we've launched the farming investment fund - info here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/farming-investment-fund
Here's a blogpost explaining what's changed and how we've improved the scheme based on learning from previous schemes...
We’ve got to take out 6, 15ftx8ftx 10inch shuttered walls. Don’t really want to peck them out incase it’s rattles the shed to bits!
We got a price off a pro to cut them out but think we could do it a lot cheaper ourselves (may regret this 🙈).
Could use a stihl saw but it’ll be to cut from both...
Hi all
Noticed quite a few people have questions about the newer McCormick Tractors as they're gaining market share.
If you'd like to know anything about them then please just ask and I'll do my best to answer. Please don't ask for prices as that's a job for your local dealer! Also please...
Just bought an used forage wagon, and need to connect to the blanked off load sensing connections. Is there a recognised common standard? So that my wagon/ tractor would be instantly compatable with others. I'm guessing it's a 3/4" female for the return.1/2" female for the pressure connection...
Trying to redo the business plan as and when I have time and would be interested to know what everyone budgets for silage these are my figures I came up with at breakfast about right? Seems too much but I've done everything as realistically as I can for a multi cut system doing 6 cuts per year...
Farming life and strife is getting very popular recently. Latest is Quest TV with Born Mucky, on last night and with some local Herefordshire content...:)
Looking at a new 'farmer-sized' SPFH. The Claas 840 is 400 HP, JD 8100 380, both smallest models. Had a price for the Claas, JD yet to quote. If prices are similar, which way to jump? Both dealers are local and excellent.
(Forage wagon or contractors won't work for us).
We cut 800 to 1000 acres of silage a year. We have plenty of labour, regular and family, and are currently running a 1998 Claas 850. She is in good nick, on about 5500 hours, but we do have regular breakdowns, which involve 6 or 7 blokes watching and scratching their arses as it is mended.

It was at the last Agritechnica that Strautmann launched its latest range of forage wagons, but has taken until this season for them to arrive in Ireland.
Known as the Magnon series, the machines come with several new features, the most notable of...
Why do we chop it ? Why can’t I just load trailers with handler run down row push up a heap load trailer tip in pit repeat ? Why bother with the expensive bit ?
Our action to negate or slow global warming is clearly not going fast enough. I don't point the finger at the UK exclusively, we are far from the worst offenders, however in general, are we doing enough ?
Looking at Agriculture alone, currently social media is full of pictures of tractors...

Hi all, I've be thinking of buying a used fastrac sub £20k. Will be used manly on road towing around 10 to 12ton. Doing about 40 miles once a week. Are fastrac suitable for so much road use? Any models to look out for our to avoid? Or any other advice?
Cheers
