Can this be done?

We have been talking at work today about running older tractors. The tractor machanic I was working with said about farmers rebuilding older tractors rather than buying new. We got on to talking about this being more popular on American farms where out of season farmers would rebuild their...

I feel we have reached an impasse mainly due to the limiting effects of the weather, static commodity prices, rising costs and withdrawal of actives. How can we break the impasse and move forward? Build a reservoir, diversify, go down the environmental payment route, sell up? Interested to know...

Now up to end of October for employees and 80% wages paid by HMG 8 months at least Going to be a big bill

It’s become almost an addiction here to drill rape for an early start to harvest. The way our OSR looks this year we would of been better off fallowing for an early start. 30% was lost in the autumn which is now linseed, 20% has been put into barley or beans in the spring, 10% is in failed...

Need a new bottle jack, probably 20t capacity. Looking at an air version. Does anyone recommend them? Never seen one up close so just wondered what they're like. Do you have a nice control over it?

Is it fact or fallacy ? On a par with recreational shopping for some ladies ? Does it exist or did I just read it on TFF ?

Seems to be a common term on nearly every subject, be it sheep, sucklers, dairy, most types of contracting, arable etc etc etc, by quite a lot of people. So how/why are you still in the agricultural industry if no one is making money? And this was before the whole covid 19 job so I'm not even...

These are my 3 tractors for 2500 acre arable and a few sheep. I love the simplicity and yet have enough tech to do everything I need. 8530 7930 6930 Lowest hours 4400 highest has 6500. but I will keep rebuilding them as nothing else really floats my boat.

Hi , I have a lot of water pipes going out to cattle drinkers , and I want to ploughing in the pipe , is there any handy machines available to do this, thanks.

bought this from J Silk Agri a few years ago. never really got it to work mainly because ground conditions were too dry in autumn 2018 and 2019. problem is it has a ball joint to tow it with just behind the headstock so it can tilt. which it annoyingly does. anyone used one? if not has anyone...

Never seen fields dry out so quick . We are working on fields we could not get a tractor on at all last year ,

I know that the answer could be how long is a piece of string, but lets say a typical drill fan on a 6m drill.

The word is that all conservation scheme land is to be ploughed this year in case of food shortages. Tree planting schemes also cancelled.

Anyone have a ezsteer system they don’t use anymore that would fit my 250 screen Thanks

I am considering selling my quad track (bigger than we need now we are no till, expensive to run etc) and hiring a challenger 765c from Ian houlgrave. I’ve never used one before, what are they like to drive for the operator? How well do they tug? It’s jobs will be drilling with our 12m sprinter...
