Can you prepare the soil for corn /soybean with a 2 ton heavy duty offset disc harrow ?

This is a nice surprise :) I am actually living in Morogoro. People from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) are pretty useless, I know more than them on every subject we talk beside growing crops in this environment/climate/area. Most of the people here lack basic necesities so staying...

So, I am engineer, skilled in metal/wood work so that's why I need to find out ways to achieve and build this I have read on a different forum that you can cut it with sickle mower but it will throw around all the stalks. So what I was wondering is if there was a project anywhere to modify a...

Thank you for your answer but I am in a complete different situation that it is expected. I am a new small investor in Tanzania and there is nobody here to look for guidance. Their information,knowledge is from Stone Age, I am alone. So I need to do the best I can with what I have Tractor will...

My dilemma, as a new farmer, that never had a tractor, with a virgin land that was never plowed...is with what tools should I start... The standard mounted disc plough has a plowing width of 150cm and the drive disc plough for 150$ more has a plowing width of 198cm which would make plowing...

I was searching for more details about advantages and disadvantages between mounted disc plough and driving disc plough but can't find much or useful information via google. Does or did anyone own them or seen them in action ?

What I was thinking of was if it's possible to cut the maize with the sickle mower knives , and build something on top of if so that it falls in a tray or somewhere... That was just my logic but I lack of the experience so that's why I'm asking

Hi everyone, Have you seen a project anywhere for modifying a sickle mower into a corn reaper binder ? Would it be possible ?

Hi, I am looking to buy a 5 disc plough and I saw I have 2 options regarding the ploughing width: 1250mm and 1500mm. Which I should get and why ? 120hp tractor Thank you.

We don't have those models around here so no parts

I know what you mean and I agree with you, actually I want to improve the area. Currently , those trees bring no benefits, small roots, they get dry in dry season, mostly like a bigger bush, not good to cool off the air or ground and trigger some rain perhaps. I thinking to grow bigger trees in...

True, I have to get parts from Kenya for Deutz , which would take one day as I've heard, but it's Africa, everything is delayed, nobody cares On the positive side, I've heard about someone owning the same Deutz model for 9 years without any serious repairs Massey Ferguson is indeed more popular...

Already too expensive for me and not in the market, which would add over 10% extra costs to an already expensive product Nope, I've seen USA travel warnings to Tanzania. I have been here for 2 years already, haven't seen or heard about anything like that.

Already in the planned, I need to paint the beacons with a something that I can see from the sky and take photos with my drone I will do soil analysis here, it costs 85$ . The main issue I will have here, is getting good quality seeds. I already brought some from home but, obviously, not enough...

Long term, mostly maize and soybeans in rotation with some hybrid rye and alfa alfa. These are supposed to be used as food for a future pig farm

Hello all, I appreciate all the replies, thank you very much. Sorry for the late response, it's hard to gather strength after working day long to complete this project. Everyone thought this through based on your environment, in USA most of you probably, which is light years away from the...

Sorry for the lack of details The land will be used for crops I was thinking about clearing the land with a tractor because of the costs but I'm still not sure of that, it's a viable idea only if I will use less than 23 liters ( 6 gallons ) of diesel per acre That's why I asked if it would be...

I was thinking about that as well...I could use a dozer but afterwards I will have to clean the land again with a tractor

Good day everybody, I'm looking to buy a tractor which will be mainly used for land clearing and preparation in the beginning. Land is full of small 1-2 inch thick trees which need to be cleared. Short story, I bought recently 300 acres of virgin land which needs to be cleared, leveled...
