No not really I've got a 8ac with 10 corners on a hill side, auto section control+boom height makes it easier than my old 24m.You must need massive fields for 36m sprayers.biggest i got is 33 acres but several at 9/12/1417/20 and no of a regular shape
Nick...
Thinking of going 36m to speed things up
In one block or split?Ask me again in 12 months!
Plan is,
24m tramlines for the time being, rising to 30 in a year or two and liquid N
At the moment
3m claydon
24m sp sprayer
Fert spinner
12m rolls
7.5m rotary combine
200hp tractor
140hp tractor
2x jcb loadalls
Simba dtx
Kv tine drill
4m powerharrow
Spring tines
Assorted old cultivation equipment
New plan
3m claydon
10m rolls
30m trailed sprayer
5m vaddy carrier
180/200hp tractor
Existing combine
1 loadall
Existing fert spinner for compound

Fair play to you for supporting 2 families on 240acres. I bet you keep it all nice as well.we have 240 acre there is me and 1 other fulltime man and a tiny bit of part time.
we grow 100 acre of grain
20 acre of spuds which we bag and sell at the door
70 beef cows and followers which we take to fat
make a bit of haylage for the horsey market
do all the work ourselves
good modern kit
so what are we messing about at if one man can farm 300 ha
82, 46,46,35.. smallest really 15, all flat. My only problem is high rainfall AR 50 inches so soft groundYou must need massive fields for 36m sprayers.biggest i got is 33 acres but several at 9/12/1417/20 and no of a regular shape
