Anyone using 4.5 inch layflat pipe with standard 4 inch couplings, either stortz or Bauer? Don't want to go to 5 inch because I've multiple permanent underground road crossings and mains etc that are all 4 inch and don't want to need a pile of adaptors. Maybe nobody uses 4.5 inch, I've just...
So I've failed farm assurance (nothing wrong with stock or milk quality) but they now say I'm going to get a spot check within the next 12 months (no problem with that) what gets my goat is the fact, they've given me 28 days to pay for said visit (£270) and if its not paid within that time my...

major
Hi spec
Conor
Newrock.
The 4 are coming in at roughly the same price give or take and I have them specced as closely as possible. 2.5k gallon or 2.6k gallon(major, hispec)

Afternoon all
I’ve searched on here but couldn’t find a thread.
Considering upgrading our tanker to increase output. Choices are Hi spec/abbey/Redrock 3000 gal single or tandem axle. Maybe a tandem axle 3500 as it’s not much more in price. What I’m not sure of is the manoeuvrability of a...
