weigh cells

It would appear iam not alone in having difficultly getting and keeping decent staff? Is it a nation wide issue or more regional? Wheres the best place to find the unicorns that maybe out there? Also, machinery price increases are a constant issue to us. I know theres nothing we can appear to...

Has anyone else had problems with the clip shearing on the shaft between the main gearbox and disc?. Had it happen to me 3 times now, so put an 8.8 bolt in lieu of the clip and it still shears. Can't find any play in the gearboxes. Can spread a load or 2 before it shears and sometimes just a few...

Prefer ex farm. Must be really really tidy. Thanks

I’m looking at an Amazone ZA-TS Ultra Profis Hydro spreader, but I have absolutely no experience with Amazone spreaders. It will be replacing an aged Kuhn Axis 30.1 which I’ve been really pleased with. It will be used through a Trimble GFX750 controller. So, basically, are they accurate? How...

Hello. I am slowly looking to replace my current mechanical Kuhn MDS 935 spreader to electronically controlled Kuhn Axera EMC. Prices for them are really low. Is there a common problem as they are so cheap? Can't seem to find any bad reviews of them. Has anybody priced how much a replacement EMC...

.....when spreading fertiliser. I've just finished rebuilt the spreading equipment on my spreading as rust had sized it up. So I first job for the repaired spreader was to apply 330kg/ha of 27-0-0-10 on 8ha of winter barley across two not quite rectangular fields at 21m bout width. However...

Hi all, Anyone still using a Vicon wagtail fro spreading Fert on grassland. Anyone bought a new one recently ? We used to run them for years before having a basic Kuhn disc spreader. Lots of small and awkward fields on 250 acres of grassland. Any thoughts welcome .

The Kuhn axis 40.2 ecm i am using is recording less product than actually used, even with quality products such as nitram, more has been applied by the spreader than is recorded on weigh counter, any ideas what is wrong with it? The picture attached was 2400kg spread but has been recorded as...

Aye up, I have a customer who feeds a few thousand cattle to slaughter every year. They’re all in all winter obviously, and he has enough grassland to get many out over February to October, but still has several hundred inside. He’s considering turning out more than the grass can support and...

Evening, I’ve just started out using a new to me kv silo king duo 22m3 twin auger tub mixer, and I’m having a few teething problems. First off, on a small mix (1500kg total, 1t of maize silage, 250kg of rolled maize 100kg of blend, 150l of water) it won’t mix properly as it doesn’t cover the...

I am looking at moving from 24m to 36m tramlines, I am currently running a kongskilde wing jet and going back to a spinning disk really feels like a step in the wrong direction so it looks like a Kuhn AGT (Despite the price tag). Liquid fertiliser is not an option as out main activity is...

I know eid has been talked about in previous posts but I’m ‘weighing up’ which brand to go with. I would like to, going forward, record my sheep flock and make better breeding decisions. I’ve tried to find direct comparisons or differences but not had much luck. All the commercial sheep...

Does anyone know how much a pharmweigh 3 way manual drafting crate with electronic scales and weigh head would cost new? There is one in a farm sale but I can't find prices online to compare. Thanks.

Hi, I've ordered a Valtra G125 which has yet to arrive. I specified front linkage too. My question is what weight of weight block would be most likely to suit whilst spreading with an Amazone Zam Maxis with 2 x extensions to allow me to carry at least 3 bags of fertiliser safely and also on some...

Never owned or even used a fert spinner before. We have been using a mix of a boomed 24m machine and liquid fert through a sprayer for the last 10 years. Recently we have come back to the boomed machine for a variety of reasons one of which was application interval between liquid n and...

I want to put a weighbridge in, it will be used for weighing crops as they come in on tractor and trailer, and also HGV's. I am looking at pit mounted as we are doing some yard alterations, so putting a pit in at the same time wouldn't be much extra work, or is surface mounted better. Also...

Here are a few photos of our 2021 expansion as it unfolds. Starting on the 13th August: .

As per the title really. This started elsewhere, so @Chris F thought this was a thread in itself, so here we go. Based on the statement from Jim Moseley in the NFU meeting on Red Tractor that the average fee per farm is £50, what are the direct costs to you as farmers? RT levies CMI/SAI etc...

I'm always hearing on here how one of the biggest advantages of liquid fertiliser is increased yields from headlands. We have a lot of ten acre fields so I'm thinking of spraying all headlands with liquid and filling in middles with granular. Does anyone else do this? If you do how do you...
