RE your article in the July magazine on Deutz (Intrac 2003A). In the early 80s, we had a 2004 which did us good service. Enclosed are a few photos of drilling spring barley.

Star Letter: Deutz tip tank

Tip tank partly raised. Inset; Near side view from footplate showing the metering unit taken from M/F 30 drill, also the hydraulic drive to the levelling augur.

The tractor was rigged with an Amazone 4m drill and a workshop-made fertiliser applicator. Also we made a tip tank to carry seed or fertiliser. This was very useful carrying fertiliser to fill out deep ridges fitted with applicator.

Letter of the month

EACH month Tractor magazine selects the writer of our letter of the month to receive a DVD kindly sponsored by Becks DVDs Ltd.

This month’s DVD to give away is Working the Land – Year in the Life of an Agricultural Contractor. It follows agricultural contractor Denver Scott as he spends a year contracting around farms; ploughing, sowing maize and wheat, de-stoning the land for potatoes, cutting silage, wholecrop and maize and ending the year spreading slurry. This informative production gives a good insight into modern-day farming.

Working the Land normally retails for £12.99 but is currently on offer at £10.99 from Becks DVDs; for more information visit www.becksdvds.co.uk or write to The Woodlands, Willington, Malpas, Cheshire SY14 7ND.
