loader bucket

Sick of been stuck on ice with keenan feeder, might make some of my own snow chains what best size chain ??

We run a spring block grazing herd and house in the middle of November normally. Their diet consists of 8kg grass, 4Kg cake, 4Kg precision chop 1st cut top quality silage. When fully housed it’s all silage no grass. The issue we have is that they are really loose on this diet especially when...

or just those headline papers getting excited?

Which are the best and most reliable. I have a Tomahawk which has been fairly good but the controller is faulty and needs repairing. Who repairs them? I seem to remember Bangalore were pretty good.

I’ve got a conked tree that has grown out of its pot and through the slabs, about 15 years ok. It’s got to come out as an extension is going up next year. I’d like to try and save it if possible, what’s the best plan of attack I’ve got access to a 13ton digger but don’t want to go mad and...

Can i store rolled barley in one of these ? How do you get it in and out ? could i store pig meal in them ?

I know this has been asked before but havent seen anyone mention a west side spreader, obviously wont be the prettiest of spread but is it worth it just for a few acres? i can get lime delivered fine but its not worth getting a contractor out to spread it. cheers

I have a lot of branches overhanging the deer fence from neighbour's wood and some of my woods that need cutting off. Some are quite high up, so I raided the scrap heap. Cut up an old MVF bale squeeze that no longer gets used, repositioned some of the bits and re-welded, added a 40 gallon drum...

Probably one of the strangest posts on TFF, but here goes! Wanting to put a urinal on our campsite, and want something a bit quirky. Thought of a cut down beer barrel, but the local pub has these. Anyone think of something agricultural that we could adopt? Wondered about the individual...

Anyone that is mixing their own grain what do they use for mixing. Was hoping to get a mixer bucket for the tractor loader so can mix small batches and fill 800 advantage feeders. Got a quote for one, scary number so was wondering what anyone else is using to mix own grain. Thanks

looking at replacing drill for spring currently running Kuhn power harrow with accord drill been a great drill but getting old and would like to modernise and go with disc coulters . I I like the look of the horsch power harrow with coulter bar blowing grain and fert to rear seed bar but lately...

What do folks use to fatten cattle? currently on home grown barley milled up with protein and molasses added. It works but it’s not cheap. what does everyone else use? KW Alternative seeds? Is there other similar companies out there selling such stuff? or something else entirely? cheers.

As I mentioned on a chat I am going to keep this thread updated with our journey on our new farm with things we are trying and progress attempting to be made. Moving day was September 1st with 3 cattle lorries and one flat bed of an ugly load to get our things here. 1 cattle attic got into the...

Looking at the way we feed cattle, and seeing if there’s ways to make it easier or cheaper (ideally both) Currently feed locally sourced barley, distillers dark grains and Davidsons 5star blend. Barley is brought home, augered into the loft, then into a bin above the bruiser, bruised then...

Hi, I need a stone picker and operator for an acre of land in PONTYPOOL South Wales please…. Any ideas or contacts please?? Thank you

Not a joke. Woke up to two random pigs on the road. Called plod. Got them off the road and into a little pen. Two pigs, boy and girl. Friendly, will come to you and were pleased to get some water. Notified local FB groups. Local APHA said ring trading standards. Local TS seems to be...

This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch. All are welcome, you can even post prices if you want. The only rule...

I’ve had a letter from HSE/Lantra saying “HSE will be inspecting farms in your area in the Autumn”. (Well.. don’t they inspect farms anywhere at all times of year?) I‘m invited to a free online Lantra training course in preparation. Anyone else had this? Good idea? In particula would this be...

As the title would you use Lishman or Polycool pedestals and 3ph fans for the grainstore? Will be used in rape, wheat, beans mainly. TIA RAF

The question mark is because I can't find any mention of them anywhere. Asking because my brother just b...ed the bottom yard of the grain store door when he left the loader bucket up when re-entering this morning. This means that the bottom "bars" need replacing, as presumably it's impossible...
