We tried and it bridged over the augers in the tank and stood up nearly verticaly so took that as a sign its a bit wet to have another go tomorrow!
lot of rain forecast here wednesday eve and all thursday at the moment
sowing the lawn tomorrow hopefully - most important job on the farm right now !
Are you using the 750 ?
I am tempted to put some grass on in the morning and cut linseed at lunch.
no, its a bit big for that job, will be done by a nice bunch of polish guys with rakes and rollers
we didn't start linseed until 2pm today - over night rain and heavy dew took a while to shift, I expect similar tomorrow

We are going to have a go at about lunch tomorrow with that forecast in mind. Pleased to say apart from the entrance into the fields the ground will travel well despite the rain so hopefully just the linseed to worry about.
Chopping Linseed ! I only did that the once, what a nightmare to sort out! Simba 2B discs wouldn't even cut through the mat ! Raked the headlands in in the end and used the trusty Swan Vestas

Will drill wheat straight in with the 750a - never a problem in the past
Worst possible thing you can do with linseed straw is try cultivate it
Soil after linseed is in lovely condition as always

Finished today, lovely sunny day but wheat still at 24.5%, finding plenty of sprouting in sample ( Leeds) all standing sprayed off for 3 weeks.
Lots of conbines going last few days but haven't herd of anything cut below 24%, some been cutting at 30% +. A few people finished today, I know of 4 local farms with 400ac of wheat each left.
