As above. Reach issues are understood, are they tough and dependable as a shovel should be or are they jcb toffee and not what you'd expect of an industrial machine that can do 20000 hrs of very hard work as a komatsu or volvo would do? I've not been impressed by quality/longevity in my past jcb...

I've got two sets of 20.8 38 stocks duals with clamps if anyone is after some for this wet spring. West Berks 07765578916

I've been long mulling over how best to heat the house when it's finished, it should be pretty thermally efficient. I'm not interested in RHI as have acquired a sh eta pek90 without rhi and have an old passat log boiler I never hooked up sitting in the barn, along with the existing grant oil...

A little job today, making a ridiculously cheap bracket rather than buying a ridiculously expensive one... not popular with the missus for baking the paint in the oven though.

Have I missed something? First payment came in early November, I thought it was quarterly from then but no confirmation letter or payment has been seen. Are we now in line for another 3-4 month wait as the first payment came pretty soon after signing although now the SFI says 1st payment after...

Read an article in this week's FW about defamation/slander... made me wonder if a particular union is getting waspy with all the pressure on it and threats are being made. It might just be a friendly nudge from the FW team to be a little careful what you put on social media... slightly odd...

So far we have been rather rudimentary in our clover establishment, light cultivation twice with Kuhn prolander on stubble, then out with quad and spinner, roll it in... we get mixed results and it could be better some years. Be good to get a better seed to soil contact. I don't much want to...

What's involved in it? I've got a super lad who has been labouring for me on the house build who has shown a good aptitude on various machines, he had absolutely no aspiration to get a driving license currently, no job prospect when we finish the house, but he is a very capable lad and I would...

I've a selection of good and partially broken concrete feed troughs here, free to a good home but would like them all gone, easily fixed, or just use them as field entrance barriers. They make good retaining walls too.

So, my time on the seat will be going up this coming season, been enjoying our classic fleet the past few years, but coming to accept they are tiring to run on long days and should possibly look to go back a bit more modern. Thinking to go two to one with 7800 and 6400 against a medium frame...

Looking for reliable, conscientious worker for 2024 harvest, grain cart and cultivation mainly. Could offer digs for a student/non local. West Berkshire. Family farm with good remuneration and generally sociable hours.

Has anyone else been invited to a defra survey in the past few days? Seemed very leading for defra's benefit. In fairness I didn't put them down this time, but did show a lack of confidence for the future along with suspicion supermarkets were trying to steal payment for public goods for their...

7800, RB47, lovely plough, not the easiest to set up and make a good job, have to work harder for it than with a kv

Under request from @Bokey I have decided to dedicate a thread to the trials and tribulations on the farm, I shall endeavour to splice the good with the bad. A bit about us, 600 acres all told, 450 cropable, 8 years into organic, mainly arable with a few wooly critters, an impatient old man and...

Went organic 8 years ago, that got rid of fertiliser spreading and spraying, which I enjoyed, but the figures work. Now looking at sfi which will likely fill in more gaps again... soon I won't much be needed for 3/4 of the year, ultimate streamlining maybe, and probably offensive to stock...

After the demise of the CTS I've plunged for a tidy 580tt, but lost my phone guru for all things to watch out for with cts. Would all good folk running higher houred 500 series lexions give me the low down on what to look out for please. Not a stranger to them, but ran 480/470/600 back when they...

11300 hours of hard work and the front diff has said enough is enough.

Not bothering with straw this year, so 4900 is up for sale as someone might make good use of it. Worked beautifully last year, was blown off and oiled up and is barn stored. Computer works fine, has flip over tailgate as well as standard one £6000 plus vat

Maybe sacrilege to cover up original paint, but no intentions of passing the old girl on so a bit of preservation today

Thought it might be worth putting on here. We decided to update to 2600 on itc dish on our CTS, every 10 seconds or so it comes up with communications error and in a flash it dissapears again. Receiver has signal, checked harness, on 701B software for side mount moisture meter, tried without...
