[QUOTE="Daniel, post: 5588456, member: 315"] Wow 5 years on. Next year will be 600ac arable plus 50 grass of which about 90ac let for spuds, pigs have gone, poultry numbers have increased from 12k to 44k layers. Still got the 6930 and the 6310, combi drill still in the back of a shed but almost all drilling done now by a 3 metre Claydon, we needed to save time over the old plough /combi method, especially now we're using cover crops etc. 6530 went about four years ago to be replaced by a Maxxum 130cvx, added a Deutz 6185 this spring, so up to 4 tractors, will take a decision on selling one at the end of the year based on hours worked, a lot cheaper to hang on to one rather than sell one, realise we needed it and try and buy one back. 1989 Dominator combine still going though on the lookout for good used replacement. Sprayer has been changed for a 24 metre John Deere 824, 2004 model so well used but in decent nick. Still got the plough to get beet land ready, added a 4 metre rebuilt Kuhn power harrow to speed that job up. Changed a 32.6 Merlo for its 33.7 equivalent, a much better machine, added a K Two ejector trailer to be able to store poultry muck under a low roofed old cow shed. Added an 8 metre set of Dalbo rolls for a tired old 6 metre set. Also a 3 metre Kongskilde Delta cultivator. Still got 2009 Claas round baler, does about 1k bales a year for a straw merchant. Assorted other practically worthless kit such as an old Stanhay beet drill, amazone fert spreader, Kongskilde sucker blower, assorted telehandler attachments, straw trailer, grain trailers etc etc. Should probably stop changing kit and consolidate for a bit?!
