    Lely Mower conditioner - what to replace with?

    Currently got a Lely 2.8m Splendimo MC, owned since new 7-8 years ago, and would like to replace with a new similar type mower. Lely mowers are no longer made , so whats a similar alternative nowadays? Local dealer is Kubota, which I think is a rebadged Vicon? Their 2.8m MC looks very similar...

    Rotor Speed Sensor on Kubota Fert Spreader

    Using our Fert Spreader this week, on the Tellus Go Screen I am getting no value for the disc speed, the alarm to tell me that it thinks that the discs are not turning does work and shriek at me though. The discs are turning. Using the PTO speed readout on the Tractor dash allows me to use the...

    Vicon Rotoflow - Grass seed settings

    Has any one sown grass seed with a vicon rotoflow twin disc fert spreader? I’ve looked in the app and only seeds it lists are things like rice and oats, not grass seed. Is it possible with a vicon disc spreader? Used a wag tail years ago.

    Has anyone ever made their own baler bale tipper?

    I need to make one of these for an old Vicon 135 Balepack, which appears to share the same wrapper bed as the new Kuhn combis. New ones are extortionately priced for what they are, I reckon I could make a new one for about a grand. Already got the mounting brackets on the baler. Anyone ever...

    Red clover into year old ley

    Basically, I bought and planted a ley last year that was meant to contain white and red clover as part of the mix, however once it had germinated and grown it was obvious that the red clover hadn’t grown at all, with the only explanation being it was never in the bag in the first place. Company...

    Establishing clover in grassland

    Morning everyone. Could I have some suggestions for establishing clover (white and or red) in mature grassland. I'm looking for alternative methods what don't cost much. I could graze it tight and drill it but timing, cost and weather really are big factors as I wouldn't have more than one...

    Forage wagon

    Hi there fellow farming peoples. I’m new to this farming for room site so please bear with me. I am thinking of steering away from doing bail wrap silage/Haylage. I have been looking at forage wagons apart from the price of secondhand ones being well out of my budget. I have come across two...

    Might buy a hedge cutter?

    Hi I'm toying with the idea of buying a hedge cutter. Would be to tidy up some banks, along side a banked driveway and tidy up hedges as and when needed. I've never used a hedge cutter before.... stupid idea?? Can go on a 80hp, 120hp or 160hp tractor. If it's not too much of a stupid idea...

    Christmas Boxes

    Just thinking, back in the 80's, when tractors were £10 to £15000 the dealer would give you a bottle of malt, chocolates for the wife, and bottles of wine for your tractor drivers. Fast forward to 2022 when tractors are £100,000 plus you are lucky to get a calendar!

    Vicon rv1901

    Hello all we have recently bought a rv1901 round baler and we have been having trouble with a buildup of hay around the bottom front rollers inside of the belts. Does anyone know of a way to try and prevent this from happening or is it meant to do it ?

    Pottinger 265c mower.

    Seen one advertised at rickerby . Phoned Rob Bell. Says it a clean one about 2010. Trade in but worked this season delivered 3800. Could get a vicon 628 up here for about the same money. I'm finished now but still might just finally get a newer one. What's the pottinger like.
