Belarusfan Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Might be best to get some expert advice on it then Chris but I'd be pretty sure it won't make much of a difference - so have you a Eastern European sprayer for the 250 yet It should be ok I hope No sprayer of my own yet, maybe do it myself next year if I can find something nice, I thought about a Frazier Agri-Buggy IID or similar as they seem to sell dirt cheap, especially at sales? \ Looking great with all those oldies on the field. I hope you have this year a good harvest. Texas Thanks looking good mate and that little power harrow did a cracking job this time looks promising Thanks, I was pleased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Frazier Agri Buggy - you do think nice Chris - I bet most are cheap as the pump of the sprayer is wrecked and the mechanics of those are not great So any sign of the Forschitt E524 yet (lots of nice ones in dealers at the moment ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belarusfan Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 A bit of an update, pictures taken two days ago though as it's been a bit wetter since Looking good though I think, but sadly it's had no ferts or sprays yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Not bad looking at all - we have a field of spring barley that was sown about the same time and it only looks about the same as that with fertilizer applied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or just buy a 2nd hand mounted but I do like the light weight of the buggies. No Fortschritts yet sadly- I think I would need a little bit more land to justify one Not bad looking at all - we have a field of spring barley that was sown about the same time and it only looks about the same as that with fertilizer applied Ah but this is meadowland that's had no real crop for 50 years until last year, well if you can call that a crop So I guess/hope there should be some nutrients left that hasn't been leached out yet \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple answer to a simple question; purely because it's too wet as there was an old ditch there which has never been re-dug, and I don't want to spend the money to have it dug out when the I don't own the field. So I just make do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 ah had to be a reason i know they love the draingae ditchs up that way, ended up in them a fair few times riding the bike back from the pub at 3 in the morn when i was up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
