One thing that is a certainty is that Marc will always have a go! Great to see dovi fight straight back and get the win. Going to be at least a three way battle for the title this year with Marc, dovi and rossi.
Good vid. Thanks...But...lol. where does the 360 come from in the speed calculation and where does the 7.5 come from for the application? Sorry a bit numb....
JJ Macleod I just blanket everything. The whole farm was analysed last autumn so this year, I some fields will only get straight nitrogen, others will have one or two applications of "P" and "K".
Why don't you use the suggested setting as a guide and then check the calibration by weighing out one side of the spreader over 30 secs? 12.88km at 24m will mean you are spreading 309,120 square meters or 30.9 hectares an hour. So 0.515 hectares a min or 0.2575 in 30 secs. That means just over 64kg should come out of your spreader in 30secs, so should weigh out 32.19kg out of one side (which probably won't fit in a bucket), so 16.1 out of half the spinner in 15 secs. You will be much closer than .8 of a hectare, which is 200kg. I never find the Amazone setting are any more use than just a starting point.
worse life than free range. owning a organic farm i have the knowledge about grazing aswell feed costs will be tremendous not to mention bedding and labour will be inceased.

Never seen that 100m conversion before, handy to know, good vid 👍
Nice to see you back out in the fields doing some work up my tractor may way it’s been a fine week and we are cracking on with liquid fert
It's nice to get off the yard at last.
Good vid and thanks for explain. Amazone spreaders are so accurate its great espically with fertiliser beinf so expensive
Great video as always
Fantastic Video! I'v got a spraying video coming out tomorrow just to let you know! Thanks Henri
Nice video mate glad spring is properly here now. Also what go pro do you use as I am looking into getting one?
Dad used to sing one man went to mow a meadow when putting the small seeds on with a fiddle drill.
Glad we have moved on from there. 😀
Great video gareth
Good video. I got urea out back in Feb. fields are starting to green up. Did something go wrong with the spreader judging by your Snapchat story?
Yeah you will find out next week. 😉
What did you think of Moto GP great to see Marc not holding back

In all honesty I'm not sure where the 360 is from🤷♂️ the 7.5 is 2.475 acres in a hectare. 👍
Many thanks

Great video Gareth first
Jack Mcgahan lucky
Saw a sneak peek of something shiny on your Instagram...
Indeed you have, hopefully it'll be set up and ready next week.
Cotlandfarmer Is it VR? Or do you just blanket rate everything?
JJ Macleod I just blanket everything. The whole farm was analysed last autumn so this year, I some fields will only get straight nitrogen, others will have one or two applications of "P" and "K".
Good video
How come you didn’t just use the tractor speedo?
It always pay to double check. Tyre wear and pressure can alter the calibration of the tractor speedo.
Cotlandfarmer aye I suppose! Ive always found the Massey Speedo to be a bit out as well, always seem to go faster than they say they are going 😂
Cotlandfarmer and how you are traveling
Good so far, but raining again tonight. 🙄

Thanks for that but is now irrelevant, you'll see why next week, or have a look at my instagram. 😉
You are right, it is an irrelevant. Your new spreader looks fancy nice
Is that a za x spreader
This one is a ZAV 2700.
Do you have GPS?
Yes I have a teejet 570g guidance system, no auto steer though.
Do ye have two JCB tm's
No just the one.
