Just away to concrete a bit of the yard. There will be lorries on it. Thinking 250mm deep of r35 air entrained concrete with a393 mesh at the bottom. Unsure whether to get structural fibres as well. An extra £18 a cube for them. Not wanting to do it again but is it overkill?
The factory in my experience is a potential goldmine if it’s run correctly and there’s any amount of different ways to make it work minor alterations and your good to kill 150 cattle a day minimum or if it was sheep you could have a line doing 1000 per day just lets hope someone buys it because...
Are 18volt batter powered leaf blowers any good for corn store floors?, Do they have enough puff or am I better off getting a Stihl engined one. It would be a Dewalt battery one if I was to go down that route.
Got a building that we’ve had to start using as a temporary grain store and the floor is quite rough. It was never built as a grain store and the floor is from a previous building that was knocked down, built over and added too so the floor is a little uneven on the joints etc.

Let’s start a harvest 23 thread! So how far do we all think we are from starting? Winter barley rapidly ripening here early start is on the cards. First week of july maybe, rape just starting to lose its greenness also!

In your experience, does the origin of fibre cement...
My old wooden Lainchbury conveyor has finally chewed up its drive end so looking for a replacement lying in someones nettles maybe? Dont need the motor or gearbox just the sprocket and shaft and wooden section.
I'd never heard of it until it was mentioned on the combineables thread the other day. Now my inspector has mentioned it to me and I have registered and logged in. A few questions- is this easier than wattsapping documents or letting the inspector see hard copies? Anyone who has used it? (some...
Putting up a 60' wide × 80' long shed. Using the deep profile plastic guttering.
Will I get away with the downpipes at one end of the 80' run, or do I need to position them half way along the shed so gutters only taking 40' each way of rain water?
I'd prefer the downpipes at the end, but would...

I know it's very early still, but looks like my neighbour is making a bit of hay on a small field that he lets people camp on.
Couple of others seem to be underway with haylage.
I've just been and mowed 8 acres that is going to be haylage for a chap this evening.
It will be at least 10...
