Are some of us being foolish

Well, it was all done by man and horse at one time. But to think how much was done in the 70s, with between 70 and 90 hp; does make you wonder if were really chasing the right approach.

It's a valid question!

Lets dump on the nitrogen and get everything growing big, again! Stuff your GPS.

What does a way cell machine bring to the party over a bredal type where you measure the density of the fert first; adjust the rate accordingly and can go any speed you want with the tyre touching the tyre. The bredal will keep going if you get a bit of damp fert or a lump aswell.

I keep looking at these fancy spreaders. Just have a feeling that a few good washes down would have electric gubbins shorting out and that lot. Will stick with the old Kuhn 1131 which has lasted 10 years with only a couple of slight bubbly patches in the paint. Probably worth what we paid for it anyway!

But basic tractor autosteer is a wonderful thing. Bracket on steering wheel. Whole lot can be swapped to another machine in about 15 minutes. Just plugs into the cig lighter.

10 years , thats nothing my amazone zam is 18 years old, I had to put a new shear bolt in 2 years ago and changed the gear oil, apart from that its perfect (I bet I've jinxed it now)it gets washed and covered in an oil/petrol mix every time it is used and the is very little rust on it.
