Looking back through here it doesn’t look much cheaper can’t see the £20 a tonne maybe he’s after an order lol

 

[Chae1]

Probably has been above 283, so he's right.

I was advised to hold back until spring orders made, then they'll be looking to sell.

That means should buy now.

[Chae1]

What is it?

Not cheaper then

 

[Chae1]

Not cheaper then

Per unit of N it is, but not enough to compensate for quality of product in my opinion. I wouldn't use it on crops for fear of stripping it. Be fine for grazing .

Once bought a full load of Russian 20/10/10 and the pills were very varied in size down to dust it was cheap

Lithan is ok for 24m tramlines.

Had our old Kuhn spreader tray tested with lithan a couple of years ago at 24 meters and it was bang on. No problems at 24m

 

[bobk]

No problems spreading lithan , the bags , now that's different , slightly stronger than bog paper

One day a robot will spoon feed us and lifting a spoon would seem like hard work
I was a strong as an oxe then .was thatva bad thing .who knows

I was driving a sedon Atkinson 200 in 1984 big bags were out but not a lot used round here. Staple work was hay and straw (all round bales) Cement and fert (all in cwts) Cement was too hot to touch with your bare hands. My drivers mate and I reckoned we could tip 10.5t of Nitrashell faster than most forklifts, if we were able to tip both sides or turn around (that used to be fun) Both of us could tip the entire load without getting on the bed by sliding the bags out of the stack then collapsing towards us.
