@Al R that's any profit from the early lambs spent in one hit £££ 😅

Components to make up a double drench race for the RAPPA

They even give you a free extra hurdle to baler cord on the back of the set up 🤓🤓🤣

Well done chap 👍🏻 Makes a huge difference. Have you set it up on a static shedding gate? I can’t remember if I sent you a photo of mine on the front of an IAE system. Draft all ewes out except 1 for each side to keep lambs quiet and can dose/treat lambs easily 👍🏻

New to us Combine arrived today, just in time by the looks of things. Fairly old, but a real credit to the guy I bought it from, scarily tidy. No pressure, but I suspect its never been wet!

Did the STS range of combines prove to be good machines? I remember working alongside a demo on and it was hilariously good in terms of outputs, would have been around 2005?

That’s a CTS. Seriously sort after machines, size of a 5/6 straw Walker with outputs better, around the 35-40t/hr mark.
@Rattie she looks smart, if I was going to get one it’d be a 9780i CTS ideally!

What would a sprayer like that set u back

About 1/3 of an equivalent sized self propelled
Very nice, all the options?

Not quite, hasn’t got things like the boom lighting or the automatic filling control, it was a stock machine.

It does have individual nozzle switching, which given my old one had 4 x 6 metre sections hand switched, is quite a step up! Fields are turning out to be a few % smaller than I thought!
