Yet another good video under your belt. Although not a farmer, I last worked on a farm, helping with the harvest as a schoolboy in 1956, I also watch Harry's Farm. He seems to have given up conventional ploughing altogether on far heavier and stonier soil than your fine fen tilth. I see in your reply that conventional ploughing still has a place on your farm. Perhaps you could devote sometime in a future video to the pros and cons of old school ploughs v cultivators and the new drill/cultivators? Good job, keep them coming.
We've got a vari disc like yours with a gutler roller, it does a good job...much better than the old tube roller. How often do you grease the bearings on your vari disc? And how deep are you going with the subsoiler? I'm doing exactly the same as you at the moment! The Amazon looks a good tool but I bet it's not cheap?
Yep the vari disc is a quality bit of kit , i grease the bearings every time I use the machine, we also put new bearings in it about 4 years ago ! The max working depth for our subsoiler is 20” we arnt far off That. Due to the rain fall last year every field is Rock solid and needs loosening up !!
We will plough if the weather becomes unfavourable. Especially on that land we are renting, it is very gravely and stoney and would take a lot of time and money to knock it down and make a seedbed. We are trying to move away from ploughing everything because we have that new drill. But there is still a place for the plough on every farm.
Nice bit of kit doing a fine job
Nice one mate , impressive machine 👌🏻
Looks a decent bit of kit, works well in this years conditions.
Looking like it’s making a nice job Rob!! Fenland Rob
