And this is what it's like 20 yards away over the hedge, 2 hrs of drying wind and it'll be bricks.
The cause of the rubble, had a very panned tramline from running along it with a muckspreader so needed to lift it after 40 or so journeys plus the grain trailers, and bale trailers. I also had to do a small area where the liming gang tipped and loaded, it reminded me why I no longer wish to subsoil that's for sure, 150 hp and 2.5 m shakerator equals 4kmh and lots of diesel gone.

Also definitely last year of sewage cake too.

A couple of pics here of some osr we drilled locally with the 3m DTS and front liquid tank.
VISION OSR drilled at 2.85kgs/ha 22-8-13
Liquid fert 11-6-11 at 160l/ha
A small plot was left as a comparrison at the same seed rate but with no fertilizer.

Because of this mess, it was a pile that was ridiculously wet.
It was so sloppy they tipped some woodchip by it to stop it running.
With hindsight we should have refused it.
We can see where we had piles 3 years ago.
Plus when we first had it the spreaders were on tractors with decent sized tyres. The last two years they have turned up on tyres not much wider than bl••dy row crops.
We spent a small fortune kitting our grain trailers out with wide tyres, we try to run on tramlines as much as possible too.
The spread pattern is cack too.
The mess we had last year was bad, but using a Claydon we could at least drop the tines in a bit.
To see a 20 plus tonne outfit running all over the fields this time did it for me.
Sorry, Rant over.

I think the no fert is the left of picture and the fert plot is right!
I may be wrong but the right hand plants look alot bigger and greener to me.

Fair enough, sounds like I was very lucky with my first foray into it this spring.

I agree. We had huge spreaders on some land when we were still ploughing. They made such a mess it took years to put right.
We had the same sort of problem with Fibrophos spreading contractors. Turned up when not fit to go on land with full sets of weights on tractors and tyres pumped up for road work. They didn't seem to understand what the problem was, just wanted to get on regardless.

Sorry about the music, it's heart on the radio
It's a Kverneland Tineseeder with a DF2 front tank.
