uncle has a little DB and the tyre size is 14.9 r 28

He wants to pick up 2 secondhands. What sizes could I look out for?

No point getting new ones, he only feeds about 40 bales on an outfarm with it and old tyres are perished

too right, this day two years ago we were cutting wholecrop spring wheat that was only 30% dm, got the harvester buried in dry land. Dont think the sun shone down this way that year, as another guy rang me on the 10 of October to know if I was interested in more wholecrop. locally in either 10 or 11 there was spring wheat combined the 3rd of November :eek:

Shows that it really needs to be flexible. Conditions for spreading have been good so why not allow spreading. In an autum where leeching is a real fear then close it up. Farming by the calendar is no good.

Hit from fert after 1st Sept dimishes quickly. I'd prefer if they extended the slurry and FYM to Dec so we could cost farm as we complete last grazing.
As it is we will only get to cover 30% of farm with slurry closing 15 Oct and 60% with FYM as that's all we can have grazed by Nov 1st

when cork got the goal to equalise clare showed what they where made off, brilliant hurling

Only champions league and premiership to watch on the box for rest of the year. Paint drying on a foggy day, would be more exciting, compared to Croker yesterday.
Serious fitness, skill and commitment from both sides. Hon the Banner.

You can't just put a static date on these things.

Local Garda station open today to facilitate signing off forms, got van signed off for the last few months,

Was going to do tractor for last 2 months as well, Garda said sign it off for year, no need to tax it, I like his style, must be from farming background:)

Father in law was telling me he had to get both tractors signed off for 4 and 6 years respectively ,
