Trimble training day

Setting our machinery up for controlled traffic farming with soil essentials.

CLA AGM and FW article.

Cla AGM for Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire, on Thursday at Luton Hoo Estate. I gave my report to 70 people on the years activities as chairman of the branch.
The day went well and the weather was superb.
Our Horsch Chaser bin has made it in the FW this Friday.
2nd 600 Lexion 12 mt combine bought second hand from kirby's is ready for collection.

Fertiliser auger

We have purchased a stainless steel fertiliser auger made by canagro which graham at mark weatherheads has fitted to the rear of one of the lorries. This will enable us to move around 20 tonnes of fertiliser around for the spreader. We will be spreading TSP on a variable rate next week. The auger is powered by hydraulics and a spoil valve has been fitted to the rear of the spreader to allow the spreading tractor to power the auger.

New Sprayer arrives!

Our new Bateman RB55 with outcast unit, Trimble steering, auto section control, 5000 litre tank, 2" and 3" plumping, 50km/hr and must importantly in PX green. The old girl has been sold locally, and retiring to a quieter life.
Trimble are down tomorrow to calibrate and set us off. If it stops raining Chris will be fertilising and spraying tomorrow afternoon. Getting a new machine is like Christmas. Ailis says in the office I'm worse than a women with shoes.

Controlled traffic subsoiler

Graham and Simon from Mark Weatherhead Ltd have delivered the new cousins 6 metre 9 leg trailed v form. Enables the tractor to move the subsoiler around for the challengers.

Jason Bateman has given our new sprayer the PX factor. 5000 litre 36 metre with Trimble steering and auto nozzle. A techneat outcast applicator has been fitted for the slug pellet application. 50 km/hr road speed and 400 Lts a minute pumping equipment. I very excited!.
