Try the X21R if it's power you're after. :-) It's overkill really, I've used one and they're a bit over the top. I have an M7R and would highly recommend it.

I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me shining me big torch round 2km away!! How do you find the rechargeable? Was just gonna go for normal

Rechargeable is great, comes supplied with a magnetic lamp holder come charger that can be mounted on the dash of a jeep or the like. The lamp is always there when you need it and charged. It's a great job.

Have a calf here didn't drink yesterday, drank 1lt today. Is very scoury. Is it ok to give electrolytes with some kaolin powder mixed in now??

Get onto it ASAP.
Not sure about mixing the kaolin with the electrolytes.
Electrolytes best gven 20 minutes before anything else.

You could mix the kaolin with natural youghert or milk.

A calf with scour needs 2l electrolyte twice daily at least.
Plus regular feeds if he'll take them.

Father was very confused this morning when all the cattle in the middle pen of the shed had swapped with all the cattle in the lower pen. Don't think he realised what day it was for a while

was coming back from outfarm around dinner time, i was in the jeep. I have to go through a busy enough crossroAds in the village. As i approached it there was a young lad of about 3 standing in the middle of the road, there was no one with him. He was just standing there, i stopped, there where cars on the road. I was getting out of the jeep to go to him when a woman came out of a housing estate a bit down the road looking for him, he is not her child she was minding him:eek::eek: he is a lucky lad he wasnt killed. hE had crossed the road and walked a good bit to get to where he ended up

Read a good quote earlier this morning:

Nice quote but unfortunately the begrudgers can't tell them apart

Nothing I hate more than missing strips in the field when its sprayed off. Really annoys me. Missed 4 lengths in the field about 4ft wide.
His do the rest manage when spraying off?

Can you get some kind of foam marker for the end of the boom on open side and just keep working off that?

I'm the complete opposite to my oul lad.he doesn't give a **** any more. I like to do it as best I can.

If I go over too far I won't have enough spray for the rest of the field and if I stay out too far I have excess spray.

Just googled it, seems a bit more expensive than I thought! Here is a home made one though.

Sure no one wants to leave a streak!! There's a local man with a wagtail spreader and the bridle has been brokien off the spout with a few years. It's gas to look into his fields because he only hits half the ground with the manure. I told him what was wrong and that it was a cheap fix but he didn't seem to care.
