As the title, what are peoples opinion on best method of establishing when crows are a real problem.. I was going to wait until late November and if weather wasn’t suitable I’d wait and sow spring variety.
If winter is possible I’m going to drop them on the ground with Horsch pronto and plough...
I recently been pondering on what to do going forwards.
current system is mainly plough, a pass with a power Harrow or press and combi drill. It works 10 years out of 10
But
the plough is getting very weary, expensive to run and in anything other than a perfect season I’m struggling to get...
Anyone direct drilling on brashy stoney land?Ploughing using at least 17 lt of diesel per ha followed by power harrow combi using another 17 lt.Time for rethink.
Eight years of trials with cover crops and direct drilling has prompted more questions than answers.
The soil advisers at Agrii like to remind me that there is more to direct drilling than simply placing the seed into uncultivated ground. “You have to earn the right,” they tell me in reference...
Hi, anyone know where I might get replacements for these?
I think it’s probably a mark 1 unidrill metering unit, before sulky anyway.
I spoke to a Massey 30 breaker as I thought they were Massey 30 metering units but he says they’re different to them.
Thanks
Looks decent bit of kit to try a bit of reduced tillage establishment with.
Is anyone using one?
What’s the pros, cons?
Looks like they were grain only, is that right? Anyone piped fert to the coulters from a front box?
what hp to pull 4m?
see you get some with row of levelling boards, do...
We need to change our old Ransome plough (4 furrow reversible - 12") and looking at options were considering either a 5f or a wider 4f, maybe a vari-width. At the same time I'd like a combi-drill rather than power-harrowing and drilling separately. We currently have a 4cyl 110hp tractor (Zetor...
I remain baffled as to why more farmers aren't adopting less power consuming options for establishment of their crops. If output can be maintained then why not? It really does slash fuel, machinery and labour costs and, in our case, not had any impact on yield. Having said that, we considered...
Hello all. Combining some beans (at night so they don’t all fall out). Looks a good crop but yield is really disappointing. Looking like 1t/ac, maybe pushing 1.5. Found a fair few of these beans which seem to have been hollowed right out, is this because of a beetle or insect of some kind? I...
Has anybody any experience of these good or bad. I see weaving sell them on their grass drill and seem a good idea when placing small seed like clover or rape into a slot on our Erth drill, without it being blown back out again by the air flow.
Evening folks
We have been drilling OSR and are thinking of getting a better cultivator to run infront of the drill.
We would like something with spring tines on the front to try lift and shatter the ground followed by a row of discs or two rows of discs and a packer roller or something to...
Three place-based projects have been awarded funding as part of the Revitalise Te Taiao research programme. Paeroa-based Rere ki Uta, Rere ki Tai, a project led by AgriSea New Zealand, has been allocated $2.7 million to test farming methods that aim to enhance the mana and mauri of the soil...
I would like to bring to your attention an accident I had while riding my motor bike on the A6006 on Saturday 6/8/22 at about 19.00 I ended up crashing my motor bike on a lefthand bend because a local farmer had dumped a load of corn seed across the carriageway from an overfilled trailer.
