Googled it and Rochdale spread at 10-40gms per sq metre depending on conditions.
So 7 m road between 105 and 420 kgs per mile

Lovely stuff, my gritter man said it’s a lot better than what the council use.
Live down a deadend council road and done a deal with the local snowplough guy who has a couple of these gritters for doing lanes, I will keep some council salt here and load him if he keeps the lane gritted.
He had to use one of my bags this morning and said it was far better stuff (Shame he left the bloody discs going as I was filling it)

He’s on a winner cause he will get a payout when his pick up snaps too which will be very quickly on that game

Higher! X3 would be closer.
Make sure you spray it with plenty of oil to preserve its life. I'm glad I live a lot further South!

Enough to warrant a 30k litre silo .
Or maybe he's just better at forward planning than me. I'm looking at my forth tank change in 10 years.
Tb free your meant to be milking less cows.
30k silo would take an hour or 2 to drain out if they couldn't collect your milk
More than I have enough forage for if it snows in March.
No. Got fed up with multiple tanks, could have put in a third tank, that was our cheapest option but would have meant pumping milk, 100’+, (the silo is much closer to the milk pump than the old tank rooms) having to switch tanks during milking which always ended up with milk on the floor. It’s a bit of a luxury but makes it easy. And only one tank to maintain. Come and have a look if you want. There’s another one, near Salisbury that probably has done the little room on the front a bit better than ours.
experience tells me about 10k an hour. Not so bad in jan but less great in March.

Yes but you know the weather will take a turn for the worse yet. Only just out of autumn according to my waters

Gained another cow yesterday. Making a useful contribution to the milk pail.
Apologies for the poor picture, she was a bit camera shy.

Time to hook the spinner up and help the green stuff grow.
