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.

Up to now I’ve only ploughed but want to start a bit of min til as well.

Most run discs around here now, is there much difference in discs? I like Bramleys vaderstad conversions best but a fair chunk of money.

How much power will a 4m version need on hilly but lightish land? 165hp tractor on 650 tyres available. Mostly into pressed ploughed ground or behind a weaving subdisc.
and if we’re short on power what’s to stop me removing the hopper and mounting one on front links instead to get rid of some...
Currently establish rape with two passes from an old set of discs, followed by a shakerator and combi-drill.
The discs are on their last legs and looking to speed up the operation so was thinking a 3m tined cultivator could do the job. This could also the be used to create seedbeds for wheat/...
We are going to chop the straw on about 2/3 of our wheat acerage but do not want cultivate or move the soil at all to incorporate the straw.
