At a guess he his running triples and the narrow swath will be from the front mower which will have the swath boards set in so you don’t drive on mowed grass. The rear mowers will be in full spread setting. That’s what I do .
If you go for an auto try and get one that has a sport mode option on the auto box. When towing a heavy load of cattle I prefer it in the sport mode so that it revs a bit harder before changing up a gear (Ford Ranger 10 speed auto). My previous Navara NP300 didn’t have this and it made...
Completely agree with you. I got the impression that Tony Martin was a bit of a loner and didn’t get out much which is definitely not the case with this farmer.
I know the farmer involved . I believe he has been targeted before by burglars. He sold half the farm opportunistically about 5 years ago to a neighbour who wanted to rewild it. He has bought another dairy farm in Wales so isn’t at this farm all the time. I guess the burglars may have thought...
When we take on a new employee part of the induction is to see and photocopy their driving licence. Last one never told us he didn’t have a car licence (despite driving himself to the interview). He did have a valid tractor licence that we were able to verify on line. Turned out after he had...
This is a similar system I saw on a visit to Holland last year. The unroller was powered by a hydraulic motor connected to a tractor spool valve. I think the unroller was about 30k. The tubes on the cover were filled by pumping water out of the dyke into them.
I put a 50m3 EB bin in for parlour cake so we can take an artic load with room to spare. Cost saving over an 8 wheeler load I was quoted £4/t . Only issue with our bin is knowing how much is in it. Due to the size the fibre glass is quite thick so you can’t see the level until it gets into the...
It’s like comparing apples and pears. One is a starch source with some extra rumen degradable protein from urea. The other is a moist feed with good digestible fibre and about 24% protein on a drymatter basis of which a reasonable amount will be undegradeable bypass protein. The comparison table...
I put a claim in Tuesday last week for a AQ2 air quality capital grant and got the money showing in the bank Saturday morning . I did have to represent my bank statements and invoices twice before this as you can’t send anything with account details on them now because they will delete them...
Yes we did get it sorted. The tractor had had a replacement number plate put on it but with one of the numbers missing. By going on the DVLA reg checker I managed to narrow it down to 3 or 4 possibilities. Spoke to a very helpful lady at DVLA and sent photos of the partially worn out IDplate on...
I seem to remember last backend on the kite podcast that they thought milk could be short this spring leading to rapidly rising prices. Prices are better than they were but not by much.
