A Fahr MD4 combine was a huge attraction at the De Courcey vintage harvest event in August of last year.
Its owner, Derry Desmond, of Kinsale, Co. Cork, kindly invited Agriland to take a closer look at the machine.
Dating from 1954, it is one of only...
Over here lime spreading is not really a big thing. Only some gypsum is spread over heavy clay. Usually 2 spreaders and an excavator go to the field for spreading only 5 tons/ha. In future I would like to have a tractor with mounted crane for chipping, loading roadside hay etc. and during...
Right, @KB6930 warned me about this!🤦🤣
Having trouble keeping the front wheels on the ground when I lift plough. Got a stone fork on front with 3 sets weights hanging off it and on steep bits at ends the front wheels are still wanting to lift. It's fine in flat fields.

The grass harrow and roller are two implements of grassland management that struggle to get a look in during the busy spring period, due to early grazing and the need to apply nitrogen and slurry.
Yet, they may be neglected to the detriment of the sward...
I reckoned this might be of some use to someone on here, systems been running about 2 years last year watering 80ish ewes and lambs from a well at an out farm 12 miles from home and the year before it was watering 60 diary cows pumping from a stream for a day grazing every round really just to...
I had previously been overlooking SAM2 mutlispecies cover. Is it really as simple as we drill autumn cereal crop as usual, give it a light sprinkle of some other species and claim it as Sam2? Seems to have the potentially to be the most reward for least cost/effort option of all SFI...

GSC Grays has welcomed news of the opening of the latest Farm Productivity Grant, but said that it will likely exclude farmers looking to install small scale solar systems to meet lower energy use.

Hedge cutters so you don't have to turn your neck so much?
I just wanted to know your thoughts on these?
Sorry, I don't know the proper name for this type of hedge cutters?
I would say that if your using a 100hp tractor it would make it quite unstable? Do I stand corrected?
Following on from a thread about mole ploughing, how many of you plough with draft control turned off?
I’ve always ploughed with it off, not wanting to jack the plough out a bit through a tough patch just for a bit of extra grip, having a tractor properly ballasted and on top of the job.
We are running 180hp tractors, around 7500kgs in weight, one of their duties is pulling a mounted mole plough, occasionally they’ll struggle with traction so my question is this, would I be better off putting more weight on the front linkage (currently has a 1000kg block on it) or would adding...
Excuse my ignorance but there seems to be a big variation in power used to drive triple mowers.
What makes the difference and what mowers are power hungry and what aren't. We'd have 250hp available, pretty heavy crops 2 cuts per year for sucklers. Wouldn't be under much pressure, be buying...
Hello!
While having a walk around LAMMA the other day, I came across APV, Red and yellow tines and grass seeding kit.
They looked like good bits of kit, to the casual observer that was tired of walking about, that is...
Does anyone have APV kit? Any good or bad stories about them...?

Looking for supplier of a storage box with opening on side and gas strutts holding it open, only discription I can liken it to is the battery cupboard on a lexion combine!
