    Opico grass harrow unfolding

    I've an old set of Opico grass harrows that I bought secondhand a few years back. They've always been a bit of a pig to unfold, I have to give them a bit of a pull which isn't ideal really. It's a single acting hydraulic ram to fold them up with an accumulator on the otherside. Could I remove...

    New grain dryer opinions?

    Our old shivvers in bin system is getting pretty worn out, all the safeties get bypassed most years to keep it going, In the next couple of years I'm likely to be alone for cutting, carting and drying and planning an efficient labourless drying operation. On floor is an option, and fairly...

    Post hole borer

    Is a 3 point linkage post hole borer any good in stoney ground? Or am I better off hiring in a mini digger and auger?
