    Vehicle towing limits

    Just wondering about the justifications for vehicle towing limits. Last week I took a couple of steers in with my Freelander 2 and IW trailer. To be honest I was probably (!) close to the limit as it has a towing capacity of 2 tons. However it went like a dream, I hardly noticed the trailer...

    Pre lambing ewe feeding requirements

    I’ve recently had my haylage analysed by feeding company that I get ewe rolls off. They have also put me together a feeding plan of what I should be feeding before lambing. I know what I would normally feed pre lambing and it’s considerably more. Was also told that the haylage isn’t a great feed...

    Cab air freshener

    Is there any good air freshers/cleaners you can buy to give the cab a nice clean fresh smell as if it has just been valeted. Not a rotten magic tree type thing that u hang from the mirror but something you spray and wipe around the place? Are those grassmen chrome products any good?

    Window sealant for John Deere 1630?

    I have taken out all the windows for a restoration on my John Deer 1630 and was wondering when I refit the windows what to use? Modern sealant rather than the weird stuff they used back in the 60's and 70's. I was thinking silicon but for some reason I think that there maybe something better.

    Orf

    It's gone through this batch of lambs like a hot curry and ten pints of cheap larger on a Friday night. Hoping that the ewes don't get it on their tits. We never had off until we had that drought 2 yrs back and they went foraging all through the hedge rows for something to eat. Is there anything...

Been using garlic buckets in recent years...

    Scoured stirk wont dry up.

    16 month old stot here is scouring non stop. Started to look a bit scoury when he was outside end of october, but never got him in until mid November, dosed with panacur, did nothing. Sent in a dung sample and it's free of worms and fluke. Herd is bvd negative, and we don't bring anything in...
