57mm of rain later, this article hasn’t aged well in a week 🤦♂️😂
🗣️ @redmanmatt: "A few weeks of dry weather recently allowed more winter wheat to be drilled into good seed-beds, with most now emerging."

Anyone got a 6m Amazone combination drill with front tank setup that could send me some pictures of the drill toolbar and how it mounts to the powerharrow?
Or even better, anyone have the toolbar part for sale? I’ve got the front tank and power harrow..
Has anyone logged on to check and submit a mid-tier application only to find fields now missing from the application that still show on the land & land use area of the RPA website?? @JanetHughes

Whilst I don’t like sitting on hold to the RPA, the option to do so would be useful… a call back is pointless when it’s guaranteed to be when I’m away from the office with none of the information to hand I need to discuss.. @JanetHughes

Extase has looked good all year.. has the obvious agronomist benefits.. but is proving to be a bit of a disappointment through the combine…
Is it just me, or are others finding the same?

I usually have a 1000L IBC of glyphosate, but it seems to be a challenge to get hold of them this year.. does anyone know of a supplier that can do them?
Thanks

Possibly looking for a Horsch Maestro 8.75 or Kv Optima E-drive maize drill if anyone’s got one for sale at the end of the drilling season..
Anyone fancy a few weeks cutting verges, immediate start as I’ve just been informed by a member of staff they are in A&E with a broken wrist 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Based in Mid-Beds. Would consider the option of using your own kit.
Incase anyone is in a last minute panic for some extra entitlements, I’ve got about 32 for sale that are surplus to requirements..
Anyone able to point me in the direction of someone to bale and wrap big square bales in the Cambridge area? TIA
No spraying, so a bit more barley going in.
Still fields that are too wet but hopefully pick a bit more off tonight before it rains again tomorrow..

What a day and location (on a main road..) to loose all steering and auxiliary hydraulics… to add insult to injury the part that has failed was due to be changed Monday morning 🙄🤦♂️
An afternoon waiting for recovery now instead of catching up on spraying 😭

Anyone got a recommendation for good wireless cameras? Currently using wired ones on everything but have a few things wireless would be easier/better.. TIA

Has anyone removed the ag leader gps and spray controller from a Bateman and fitted a JD system in its place with SolSteer?
Finding the Ag Leader makes the sprayer very unenjoyable to use, and the RTK auto steer is useless.

Anyone running a 620/75R30 Axiobib2 tyre on an RB35? I’m sure I’ve seen machines with them on.. is there something different axle/drop arm wise with a new shaped cab vs old shape (2016) machines? @Batemansprayers @HauptWill @andrewr1972 @thecropdoctor @agricontract
