    Cover crops on heavy land

    Does anyone really put cover crops on heavy land other than the odd person trying to get a page in Farmers Weekly or some extremist DDer?? My short lived experiment has just given me a headache with few obvious benefits. Stubble turnips, oats, vetch etc grew tall and thick - didn’t get an...

    Why are Velcourt not direct/zero drilling on a large scale?

    Stubble cultivator recommendations …..

    My Discerator has been a good tool for the past 14 years and cost little to run but it is slow and doesn’t always move all the soil profile in less forgiving conditions. It is probably time to upgrade but what machines are worth looking at that have discs and auto reset legs plus a packer...

    Vaderstad topdown vs Kuhn performer

    Case optum. Punching well above its weight

    Sold our old jd 8530 (brilliant tractor) but have to say our new optum 300 is a beast a real pocket rocket. Replaced the 8530 and does the same heavy draft jobs but also nimble enough on a 18 tonne trailer or 3 m mower. Really impressed
