A few more pics of it working would be great

 

[Cotsfarmer]

I’ll try and get some more this week. Only so much I can capture from the cab. We have the new shaped model.

10 meter ! That is some drill, will you do 200 acre day ?

 

[Cotsfarmer]

Yes in the right fields, comfortably. Managed 180 acres across 7 fields in 12 hours on Thursday. We run a 10 metre CTF system.

 

[yellowbelly]

Direct drilling wheat into OSR stubble.

Looks to be going really well
I'm presuming with a name like @Cotsfarmer you're from the Cotswolds? How much rain have you had over the week-end?

 

[Cotsfarmer]

Yeh in the Cotswolds, just! We’ve had 27mm this weekend. One of the few positives about being on the brash, it drains fairly well.

what horsepower are you pulling it with?

 

[Cotsfarmer]

what horsepower are you pulling it with?

Currently using our old 8530. We had a John Deere 7250r on demo and that had enough to pull it with 6 ton in the hopper. Hopefully should have one in for the spring drilling.

A massive thank you to Deb Powell for giving Freddie and me the Grand Tour of all the belties, sheeted Welsh and Jacobs today . It certainly was not the weather for the SLr camera in the constant rain so I borrowed this picture from shelsleysbelties.co.uk The damp certainly didn't dampen our day as we also took in the WNT reserve at Tewkesbury . Even more impressive with David away in Australia for Deb to devote so much of her time on us. Thank you for lunch too!

No it’s on our own land. We’ve been direct drilling for 7 years this season.

Thankyou. My personal favourite of ours is the trailed horsch leeb sprayer. The boom control is just phenomenal.

It's alot clearer lower down the hill

Are you hauling bales there or just sorting around what's there? It's a good farm, we use to sub let it from the old tenant 20years ago, one short term tenant destroyed it ,but starting to look better again now.

There's a pile of another 150ish up where a tenant had that massive pile of silage the rats use to swarm at. Moved some silage around here earlier but not as nice on me own as last time when had 3x loader tractors dabbing bales around as game keepers got waspy when ran over some partridge's when stacking bales in the dark as the little buggers don't fly away.
We bale them over here as well
