Why is it some moles fill traps with soil? My heart sinks when I pull up a trap with soil because if they fill one they seem to fill them all and they are devils to catch. What am I doing wrong? Talpex traps

I have a Claas Arion 550 which feels very numb and gutless on road work. I feel like a lot of modern engines it is strangled by egr and emissions garbage. Surely it has a similar engine to what has been fitted into JD pockets rockets like the 6430. What would people recomend a remap or a...

Hey up Right, as some of you may be aware hoggs are making a nice touch this time. Got a bit spare too invest in a fresh quad Always been Honda men, tried Yamaha, too thirsty. Tried Suzuki, broke too easily. Tried Polaris, the less said about that 💩 the better. Salesman is trying too sell me...

The above is what I plan to write on my census form and I hope others do too. I feel like an ignored minority as the “metropolitan elite” do not recognise our generations of land management and traditions but want to dictate how we use our land/live our lives. Official government guidelines say...

I had a tractor demo a few weeks ago from a dealer with the intention of buying it if liked it. Had it for 4 days where on the 4th day I took it to get a load of straw bout 40 miles away from our farm . Tractor broke down on the farm where I was picking straw up. Electrical problem . Dealer had...

I've had a MT932 for the last 12 years, been a good machine, time for a change, I'm after another 932, a turbo one, can a pickup hitch be fitted to them so I can lead straw with it?

Anyone have any solutions or had the experience of a non paying tenant in a rented out farm house? Circa £5k owed now. Still in house

Looking at a second and tractors to suit our operations , and just wondering about pto hp into implements. So tractors will be for mowing and baling mostly ( round and possibly the conventional if required , tedder and rake ) Was concerned that too much hp from the pto could damage the balers...

The forum is full of threads that are unhappy with the way the NFU is run, it's handling of Red Tractor, it's ambivalence towards it's members. Everybody has a view of what they think should be done but who (if anyone) is actually going to do something? There appears to be two...

Why do you say that. The new v8 defender is 500hp. The 3 litre diesel is 300hp. Wont be short of power.

hi, just wondering if anyone tows a vehicle behind a tractor trailer/spreader etc? Dont know if its legal or anything like that, but it would be very handy to have transport instead of lugging the tractor home.

I have a 2012 jcb 531 70 year 2012 with 5000 hours on. Good clean machine with pick up hitch and 60% tyres. how would you value it? only thing wrong is the mud guards are a bit shabby, mainly an arable farm but with 100 sheep, so odd bit of silage and hay feeding.

Quite keen on one of these, but ould welcome any user experiences. One particular question is can you drop it off and pick it up without dropping the bed, i.e. if using it behind a loader which only has one service for the pickup hitch & trailer, and involves swapping pipes etc. Many thanks

First off lets get this clear - TFF is a independent knowledge exchange platform for farmers, it has no remit or ambition to lobby or represent UK farmers is any way. Topics discussed by members on TFF are led by those members, of which I am just one. The below post is my opinion solely as...

What are the rules and restrictions when towing with a tractor? I’ve an old Ford 4000, what’s the maximum trailer weight I can pull with this and is there a length restriction? What about brakes? As a separate and even more basic question (I’m a true dog & stick farmer..) what harm does leaving...

One of my clients was recently recruiting tractor drivers, I was helping with interviews and references. There was this one guy who stood out above the rest, great qualifications, CV and references, so they gave him a one week trial He was relocating area with his wife and 2 kids, so was...

Are they real or a scam ? The tickets aren’t cheap but there is plenty interesting prizes does anyone no any winners
