    Progress? Is it really?

    Just talking to eldest son, now almost semi-retired, and he told me that they have just bought a new tractor - £177k. It’s green with yellow wheels and he said “To be quite honest I can’t drive it.” He told me that you can’t see out of one side because it’s cluttered up with screens. I reminded...

    Kuhn axis settings

    Has anyone got any settings for spreading Calcifert s with a Kuhn Axis 30.1 to 18mtrs? It's just the basic machine I have with no weigh cells etc, just manual setting. I have never spread Calcifert before and I don't see any settings for it on the Kuhn spreadset app.
