we need to get the combine drivers to cut lower what our lot have done this season is buy a new rape drill £60k they say it is more economical and allow combines to cut faster and lower uses lower seed rates but allows plants more room to grow better heads !

Is it a sumo?
loads drilling here with these subsoilers now in 10" rows.
will make it easy for fox and deer to move around under the crop.

Just to clarify for finnbear and the others that have asked, I did edited the post like John said. I appologise to the people that would have liked to have read it but cannot be doing with people questioning me. All I wanted to do was share a story with like mined people that enjoy shooting but as to often happens now on this forum there is always someone telling you to do it like this or that, or your wrong and there right.

Thanks for looking

Don't let the knockers and 'know alls' get you down. I didn't read the unedited post, but as far as I can see, you didn't do anything unsafely. Thanks for sharing your experience.

depends.
As a former rape swather driver I know you wont be very popular with the combine drivers if you leave the swathe 3" off the ground.
equally if it has been desiccated the combine drivers will cut it high just under the heads as the thresher doesnt have so much stalk to process and they can cut quicker using less diesel.


some shorter variants out there now with longer heads

Thats a fair set of teeth there, no wonder they wreak havoc in chicken and pheasant pens.

Interesting about the ticks. I trap quite a few mink a year and as yet to find one with ticks on board, perhaps that one may have been doing the rabbit earths to cop those.

I was fly fishing in sussex couple of years ago and there was a distinct lack of wildlife around the lake/ river, Had a squeak up and three came across from the island like torpedo boats only stopped 20ft from me, fearless little buggers.

Well done.

As for wire, well often an issue if you shoot on chicken farms, try not to do it. V max dont richochet in my experience, but at 10ft from the muzzle will neatly cut a pice of multistrand barbed wire as I found out last winter, needless to say the bullet(fragments) never got anywhere near the target. Wire wasn't visible in the scope, and I bet i couldn't do it again.

Concur with John with rape stalks, can make foxing neigh on impossible, swathed straw/silage ditto.
