Whats the Kw of an ox? (Bet some Limmy in the mix would increase the revs,but reduce the torque...)

1 more than 99 but one less than 101. Which is quite far to walk but not very far to drive. So to you it is probably from home to about Welshpool at a guess.

That's because £10,000/acre looks cheaper than £24,700/Ha, (or even 28,158 euros/Ha)

If their fathers do, they tend to do too. Although they might be multi-measurers or ambidigital or bicurious or something.

Acres here. Couldn't tell you how big any of our fields are in hectares

I wouldn't want to walk to Welshpool and I live a lot closer than you two. It takes about half an hour in the tractor.......depending on which one I take.

First point correct, whichever you use its a unit of measurement you just need to get your head around it. I've never got into hectares mainly because I haven't needed to, conversations with the older generation are always in acres as that's all they want to know, all contractors I've dealt with have always been acres as has any land I've bought or rented, I fact the only time I need go near hectares is submitting the SFP form for which I use an agent so basically all I do is point at fields on a map.
I just don't understand the comment about ploughing with oxen, presumably compared with ploughing with a modern tractor (should that be min till)? I just don't see one method of measurement being superior to the other, it's just about what you or I understand.

Closest to metric here is 2000 pounds in a ton and 100 cents in a dollar, I believe metrication was proposed in the seventies but never followed thru.

No sorry, not correct, like kg/ha for fertiliser, means nothing to meMPG is about as useful as tit on a bull, but litres/100km makes a lot more sense!!!

At 50kg/ha how many cwt of 34.5n is that anyone please ?
50kg/ha = 40 units/ acre = 1.16 cwt of 34.5n per acre ?
Someone better double check that before Andrew rushes out with the spinner......

Try and set that on a modern bag-muck spreader. Setting 375kgs per hectare of bag muck though is a doddle.

Can't the new ones go up to 3 cwt /acre then .suppose you could run over it twice

The mile is only used with reference to the club as "the 1.6 km club" sounds kinda stupid

Yeah what's even more daft is very few planes actually fly at 1 mile, it's too low for commercial flight

1.6 km must be the optimum hight for smoothness, might be too much turbulance further up or near Wellington!Yeah what's even more daft is very few planes actually fly at 1 mile, it's too low for commercial flight
