Yet another "straw on the camels back" of rules and regs. that have to be remembered, not just getting the points, but...

    Machinery Focus: Fendt – from clockmaker to premium brand

    Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland Fendt is now seen as the premium brand within the AGCO group. This is hardly any accident as it has belonged to the US giant since 1996 and 27 years gives plenty of time for the corporation to position the brand where it wishes in the market. Today, the...

    Machinery Focus: Dawn of the self-propelled forage harvester

    Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland Cutting silage by a self-propelled harvester is now such a standard feature of the season that most of the drivers working alongside them will have been born well after they appeared on the scene during the 1980s and 90s. Dragging a harvester along...

    Hello everybody, After much frustration I am drinking a cup of tea and have decided we need to buy a new strimmer - something which actually lasts 15 years and does not need constant workshop repairs. What is the strongest, toughest 4 stroke strimmer which money can buy? A full day on a...

    Early today driving down a single track country lane, saw a tractor and trailer coming towards me maybe 1/4 mile or less away. Spotted a gateway and pulled in , rather naively expecting the car that was right on my arse to do same. Nope woman just charged past and then 100m further on she woke...

    Risks of Relying on Contractors as Farms Disappear

    We are very reliant on contractors for all of our silage and until recently there has been a choice of operators with round balers with choppers on. Now we are down to just one with a combined baler/wrapper with a chopper, which we find is by far the best for feeding sheep. Yesterday not long...

    Costing a sprayer out

    How does everybody view this subject? Possibly the most important machine on a farm so how much are you willing to pay? I bought my existing machine brand new 14 yrs ago. It cost £32,000 on farm. I’ve being having some ongoing problems with it basically due to its age and liquid fertiliser. To...

    I hate modern tractors

    OK so we only buy 2nd hand ones with around 5000hrs on them then generally add at least 1000+ hours to each/year but, frig me, these modern tractors are pansies always throwing up error codes and acting up. Have manufacturers overdone it with all the sensors and the stupidity of emissions...

    Rowcrop tyre questions

    Looking at rowcrop tyres online. Our current trackwidth on tramlines is 80" how can you tell if rowcrops will run on tractor at that width? Other thing is, what brands of tractor share the same stud spacing, stud size and centre hub? Looks like Claas and MF do, any others? I know I'm behind...
