Yes, its got a fitting with a hose tail on it to feed a trough. But I need to replace that butterfly valve. This IBC is on a trailer and also used once a day to fill 300l troughs as well. So it is opened and closed a good few times a day before spending the night hooked up to a trough. Sods law its a fairly new black IBC as well.

IBC taps are junk. Use the fitting suggested above or another form of adapter from IBC thread and put a lever valve.

Finished clearing bales then started with the subdisc. Change of feet due. Spots of rain on and off all day. View attachment 1048845View attachment 1048847View attachment 1048848View attachment 1048849

Do you like the sub disc? I have contemplated one for cultivating and leveling ex potato fields after harvest. Can't find one cheap enough (or near enough) though.

Expensive day in the barley today ! Spline worn out in the first stage of the unloading auger and also very worn on the gearbox so we replaced the lot . This happed at 5pm yesterday we got it all stripped out by 630pm Doubledays’s (our local JD dealer organised the parts for us to collect from Langer (JD UK ) youngest son fetched parts last night and we were up and running by 10am this morning

 

[Beames]

Cow train to start the day for ai

Then went and inspected the wildlife strip my mate left with the sprayer.

And then thought I’d better knock some bedding hay down

Yes does a good job which suits my light soils. Sometimes it could do with a second set of discs like this weeks job. Cheap wearing metal. I bought mine second hand from weavings. It was about half new price from memory.

Finished combining and contractor baled it too. I would have left the swath a day, but I won't be the one handling them in winter.

Nearby neighbour was cutting too until a smoke signal went up, followed by 2 fire engines. That is the third fire I've seen today in the local area. Not going to be a good year if that happens..

 

[Muddyroads]

My good lady was determined to be given the chance to do some caterpillar control so after I gave her a bit of training yesterday there was no holding her back this morning (there are pointed cabbage amongst the fat hen!)

2 new people keen to join our veg team so they were given an introduction this morning

Knocked a bit of grass down this afternoon.

And accommodated these guys this evening
