I have been spreading ash felt planning's down the cart-way that we messed up carting sugar beet of last November so far used about 30tonnes properly need about another 5ton to finish

He pulls it with a J/D 8335RT which I think is 330hp but his previous J/D was smaller and that pulled it ok he used to pull a 4m outfit but went narrower to get rows of rape closer .as light land say its not really the HP its the depth you put it in you go to deep and you would properly need 500hp and get lumps that you cant break down

He has fitted two extra legs on a 3-3m machine 6 in total so it moves the soil in front of the six air outlets on the rape seeder

Not very good pictures but my neighbour use a simba to put rape in as like the model you have done

Feed wheat down here in Suffolk end of march on the spot market was £113 tonne

After leaving home at 4-30am sunday morning to drive to Spalding toy fair to help Martyn and not getting home till 10-30pm its nice to be sitting down today as I am spraying my wheats and barleys the wind is picking up a bit at moment so might have to stop

How is the shed is it ok can it be repaired ?

One of my jobs on Saturday was to lay this small area of brick pavers

Looks like spalding has come a week early for you David nice models and 2 more good cabernets to fill and the money has gone to a good charity

Yesterday and part of today I have carted appox 40 tonnes of clay appox 15 miles each way from a farm on the A140 Ipswich to Norwich road to a house near to Otley College to line the bottom of a pond may have to get one more load tomorrow ,tractor and trailer is mine telehandler belongs to the farm where the clay is the boss said that's the heap heres a loader help youself

While I have been spraying all day my neighbour was drilling my sugar beet will spray an fertilize the sugar beet sunday morning

I don't use duals much now as I would be to wide on are roads and as my land is spread about I have to use the roads a lot and putting duals on and off 2or 3 times a day is not much fun

No it is the proper wheel kit as fitted by Maschio on the 4meter power-harrows

After last weekends playboy life its back to work powerharrowing for this years sugar beet

Should be leaving Malvern Hills to drive back home this morning but not before we have been to McDonald's for breakfast

yes graham we are both Ok hope you are too got one more day at the show tomorrow stay overnight then have a steady drive back on Monday yes martyn would have been all excited watching the ones in jodpurs

Been helping on stall at tractor world now in Harvester pub having a well deserved meal and the best bit is Martyn is paying

You get paid £31-67p a tonne less a dirt/tops claim which depends on how much dirt/tops you have per load eg you take in 29 tonne you get paid for appox 25 tonnes .So 70t ha crop brings in £2216-90p less your dirt/tops claim and the growing cost which I cant tell you at the moment as I am away from the farm helping martyns farm models with the show this weekend .The price for this coming season is only about £24 tonne as there is to much sugar around .The seed costs for this year are appox £185 ha depending on what verity /seed dressing

Yes it is early but if conditions are ok put them in British Sugar says from the 1st march to mid april my beet will properly go in next week
