lishman

Just looking through the fund to see if anything fits with what we need. There is an option for a control panel for a continuous grain drier. As these come with specific criteria which we need to meet. The control system is easy enough but the awkward part is it needs to be accessed by a mobile...

Does anyone actually brew their own.? If so how do you do it and what do you use? I have a livery and want to utilise the Horse manure

Mine went away to martin lishman for calibration. Come back .01% out on barley. Loaded a lorry at 5pm. The barley had been in the shed around a hour. Next day I get claims for 15.2% when everyone is cutting wheat at 14%. So I take my sample to the local store just to check. And they make 13%...

Got a protimeter 900 that needs a check over. Gives me different readings every time for the same sample and I don't think I can trust it any longer. I sent it back to protimeter years ago for a service but I can't find their contact details anywhere now . They must still be going aren't they...

I am building a new grain store. It will be 80x40 and split with a walls so basically 20x80. I will be loading in and out with tractor and loader or tipping with trailers. I really like the lishman and Evan’s and Pearce underfloor systems but will I be able load in and out with the pedestals...

I know a lot of people have mixed views about the SOP, but committing to put on a show when some events post this date are still being cancelled.... Do you think it will excel on previous years?

How do we reduce the risk from these utter low lifes , can live with the daily risk of workshop being cleared out , quad bike disappearing, Land Rover not there in the morning, the diesel tank emptied on a windy night , but if my dogs disappear !!!! Time is ticking to when there's going to...

Evening so I purchased a 4m freeflow of a fellow forum member (Blair) @B R C I wanted to dip my toe into direct drilling with out spending a fortune and I’m fairly handy with spanners so thought I could perhaps achieve something in the workshop. afters lots of research I decided to build my...

Been looking at blue heelers. I know they’re hard to come by in this country but I was just wondering if they are any use with sheep as well as cattle? Not had anything to do with them before

TIA for any help. As an organic farmer I’m playing catch-up with cover crops but think they would be a huge advantage if I can bring them into my system. But no glyphosate...... So I‘m looking into terminating cover crops mechanically, trying to avoid ploughing. See some people are rolling in...

Assuming all work done by contractors how far will £100,000 go? Only looking at a flat store for dried grain. I understand the cost of concrete is going to be a big part of the bill. Will be phoning this week getting some quotes but this is all new to me havng never put up a building myself...

We were given a couple of VOS coulters to try this year beside our Dutch coulters. Unfortunately the weather demanded that most of the drilling was done with our Claydon and the Borgault didn’t get tested. The Dutch points on our Sprinter are just about ready to be changed. Is there a benefit...

Hi all, Cody from Farm Xport here (www.farmxport.com). We are an international distributor for Soil-Max plows but would like to expand our catalog. Is there any farm equipment or machinery, worldwide, that is difficult to purchase in the UK due to lack of import or distributors? I imagine most...

Earlier I saw upwards of 30 horses and riders riding through local village followed by at least 15 quad bikes with 2 on each not one wearing crash helmet some had number plates some had boxes carrying terriers also hounds running across fields so it's a case of the upper class can do what they like

Agricology are running some focus groups in November for an ELMS test about the effectiveness of videos and podcasts as learning tools for farmers. They have asked if any TFF members would like to participate. Places are limited. Each participant (needs to be a farmer, based in England) who...

Hi, seen a grand wee tractor we need for our small holding a hours drive away in the tractor. Iv seen a tractor online and the dealership is demanding payment before delivery. Was just wondering what people’s thoughts were. It isn’t local

Ok looking to have a go at direct drilling and doing a bit of pimping to a cheap drill to get there so I know the best option would be to use a sprinter leg but I know they are very pricey and wouldn’t make it viable to use.. wondering if anyone else used another leg arrangement and was haveing...

Where is the best place to get. And what ones do folk recommend TIA.

I have a clayton sr seed drill and would like to make the seed rows wider(less space between the rows). Currently as all claytons i work with a 7" share and a split seed boot attachment at the back of it but would like to go to a minimum 9" share. Bourgalt do not do a split boot any wider than...

I see she is sending a bit more racist blame on the countryside in yesterday's paper
