Thanks Sean ,i might have bought that tine drill in the auction that you sent me the link to but the auction house was not very helpful when i gave them a call so i left it alone , as for the other item if you go back a page on here you will see it (i think thats what you are on about ) , i have also bought something else last week did not plan to but was given a tip-off about it and after going to view the wife said we better buy it before the next person does ,i will put a photo up a bit later on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Bit more done to my "Shanty town" Wall ripped out to now fit both tractors in the 1 bay which will then also fit the Challenger, ED40 and balers over winter. Doesnt look pretty but all in cost me £100 in materials including roof sheets and will do for this year until i can clad it properly in wood next summer. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Had a trip down to Newark Tractor show on Saturday with John (JMD) and two Dave's for a wander about, good to have a catch up with a few folk and of course I spent a bit of time around the Nuffields and Leylands.... Any how a couple of photos of what was about the club stand, admitting that I missed a couple of photos of Pete's 302 and 702 , Marshall and a really nice 844 Steyr based Marshall.... truth be told though a couple of rare models on show including a Bray 470, a Cantatore converted 10/60 and Pete Sampson prototype Leyland 184, of only 2 survive, which is next generation of the little 154 built in there thousands...... these 184 prototypes were built in Bathgate and then production moved to a British Leyland plant in Turkey and given the model 302 designation 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Phil ,i might have a Puma one day or another McCormick but the purse is nearly empty at the moment . Yes the MXM has not been knocked about and as a 3rd tractor its ok 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 After waiting several weeks for some very expensive fertilizer to be delivered i got it spread on this field so i could finish my ploughing for the year this week ,the field is for sugar beet 2022 20211118_135131.mp4 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Quick question Smithy. Do you put the fertilizer on before hand and then plough it in or do you spread it on top and harrow it in? I would have thought that ploughing it under would have put it too deep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put the fertilizer on before hand and then plough it in or do you spread it on top and harrow it in? I would have thought that ploughing it under would have put it too deep? This sort of fertilizer we spread on the top of the stubble and plough it in at about 8-9 inches deep it will lock on to the soil particles and be there in the spring for the roots to take up ,the roots of the crop can go down several feet ,when the field was tested they take a sample from around 8-10 inches down . You can spread it on the top of ploughing and let it filter down with the rain but you would have wheel marks all winter and these act like mini-rivers in a really wet time and you end up with soil/nutrients in the ditches , it is common practice to spread it on top in the spring as it will be being used in a shorter time ,common one is 0-24-24 ,0 is nitrogen 24 is phosphate and the other 24 is potash , a 20-10-10 is 20%nitogen and 10 of each of phosphate/potash ,nitrogen is spread on the top as this needs to be in the top 2inches 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
