https://russells.uk.com/construction/other-machinery/new-holland-b110c-backhoe-loader/ If that was a tractor with a loader would be more than that. So looks cheap to me (for contractor who wants one, not a farmer like me) The mini diggers transported by truck or on farm work tractor drawn...

I've recently been visiting several local farms volunteering my labour for free on evenings and weekends and so far, every response has been a no. Am I missing something? I would have thought farmers would be happy to have an extra pair of hands to help out when needed, especially for free...

Holding political parties to account for their policies is done once every election. We can't sue them in court for mis-selling of goods and services. Nor can we gripe if they lie and cheat to get in and then do FA or play one faction off against another to keep the status quo of doing FA...

I am also a child from a rural area in China, and I used to be very poor. I had very little land to cultivate. Our family of four had only 7,175 feet of land. Very little. We farmers were forced to go out to work to barely make ends meet. I would like to know how much arable land you farmers in...

Managing a small herd of longhorns here.Lovely quiet cows untill they have a calf, then it's as if a switch has been flicked and they suddenly become possessed by the devil. This of course then becomes exacerbated when you have calves that don't suck; big traffic cone tits to latch onto; tagging...

Early morning tv news, reported that the UK had the wettest period (winter/spring), because of which less crops could be planted , so as the news report stated, "the UK has to rely on more imports of food", well thats hard to believe? or took alot of "intelligent" people to come to that...

Whats the best drone for farm use?

How much would you have to earn before you would leave your homeland due the perceived high tax rates? Couple of opinion pieces in the Guardian. Stay https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/08/non-dom-tax-millionaire-britain-leave-uk Leave...

Just wondered on the state of peoples farms, personally I strongly dislike a messy farm with junk and rubbish getting in the way but not everyone feels as strongly as me it seems unfortunately. Its improving but not its not as good as I would like. How about your farm?

Dad worked on farms in the 1950's-1970's. He bought his first house in about 1976 when no longer working on farms so at least he managed to get a foothold outside of tied cottages. Always a mixed blessing.

I’m about to start pointing up my house walls again. They are limestone and sandstone. I’d guess they were originally built with lime mortar. I’ve ordinary Portland cement, builders lime, soft sand and sharp sand. Generally I’ve used I think 1 cement 1 lime, 3 soft sand 1 sharp sand The sharp...

Hi, i'm 24 and a skilled fencer. I've been putting up stock fencing around my brothers stable for a few weeks now and am wondering what the price for labour is /m others are charging for this style fencing. Im doing all work alone from moving the material 100m/500m away, ramming posts in every...

With huge apologies to all farmers for the massively naive nature of this post, my wife and I are exploring buying (and farming) a livestock farm. I have the financial resources but no experience and I don't know any farmers. Any suggestions of where to go to get experience or any good courses...

30 years ago I had a MF 690 4wd on a 21m Hardi mounted sprayer with 1000l rear and 500l front tank. Times have changed somewhat though so any advice today for a 2000l rear tank and 1500l front tank with 24m booms. When loaded the rear part would gross 3600kg and the front 1800kg with water...

My brother has got the tank below for a project. Would anyone know the fitting we would need to we can put some MDPE pipe onto it? Turning the knob on the fitting moves a latch in and out. Thanks in advance

Hi there. I am planning to buy a brand new tractor, within the 300-350hp range. I was looking at the Deutz Fahr 9340 but the Valtra S374 looks very solid and it's a bit cheaper than the 9340, almost 20k. I have a Lamborghini R6 190 and I am a bit dissapointed, especially with the air...
