fire

Got a problem one of you may be able to help me with. Had 2 very large Ash trees dropped last year (Die back). Some of the trunk rounds are difficult to split for fire wood. Tried wood splitting grenades, but at 78 I have to have a lie down after a few swings. These rounds are heavy and much to...

Come across this, relatively local to us, guy farms on the outskirts of a large village. Shocking! The video is upsetting to watch. https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/24324907.xl-bully-attack-rhos-farm-shown-s4cs-y-llinell-las/#

Any recommendations for gorse spray, have used forefront in the past with great success, but can't use in this situation, it's to apply with a sprayer not a knapsack btw. Something cheap ideally!

What's the legal situation? Cars are constantly overhanging into farm lane they don't listen and just say they'll move if we ask them to. You can get a car through but start with anything bigger and you can't. One got hit yesterday so want to know where we stand.

We have taken on some adjoining grazing land that has no water. A possibility is pumping from the brook approx 80 m across our existing field to the new field. There is a slight incline - not steep as this is a brook meadow we're going across. Would a 2" petrol water pump to an IBC work ? We...

Our T5.120 won't release the pressure in the trailer brake valve. If the tractor is turned off the pressure seems to go and the tractors own brakes aren't on all the time so it seems the hydraulic oil that powers the trailer brakes isn't returning to the system as it should , any ideas ?

Someone said today that the best smell is freshly rolled cereals in the spring. My entry would be freshly spread rotten muck in the autumn or possibly freshly mown grass. Any other thoughts?

I have a load of potential new hedges I have identified and have these been approved of by the national park ecologist. I don't want to press on and find I have missed the chance to sell BNG credits on them in the future. I am struggling to find information on what value is put on new hedges...

Well they are aren’t they? Thwarting attempts by the democratically elected government to discourage illegal immigration. Throttling the economy with complex and highly restrictive planning processes. You can’t even divert a public footpath for health and safety reasons with any guarantee of...

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?

Spirit Levels. What’s the point of them on Farm Machinery? Have them on Manitou & Lemken machines here. Neither anywhere accurate. Somebody could have done with one when fitting it:ROFLMAO: What other useless features have others come across on their machines?

We don’t employ any staff but were told by our insurers today that our tractor and loader needs to have a LOLER certificate. Does anyone else do this?
